Your accounts receivable can reveal cash flow problems in your cleaning business before they become bigger issues.
Keep an eye on:
Total unpaid customer invoices
How long it typically takes clients to pay
Overdue residential or commercial accounts
Clients who repeatedly pay late
The percentage of your receivables that is past due
Booking more cleaning jobs is important, but revenue does not help your cash flow until the money is collected.
A clear invoicing and follow-up process can help your cleaning company get paid faster, cover payroll and supply costs, and maintain more consistent cash flow.
