Why this tool

Why we support GoCardless

GoCardless can be useful for businesses that invoice customers regularly and want a more structured way to collect payments. It can help reduce late payments, manual chasing and uncertainty around when customer money will arrive.

We support GoCardless where it fits the client’s billing and finance process. The value is not just setting up direct debit collection, it is making sure customer invoices, receipts, bank feeds and bookkeeping records are reconciled properly.

Proof

Case study & results

Case study

Customer payment collection and reconciliation made clearer.

A service-based business needed a more reliable way to collect recurring customer payments and reduce time spent chasing overdue invoices. Customer receipts were being reviewed manually, which made debtor reporting and cash flow visibility harder than it needed to be.

We reviewed the payment collection process, supported the use of GoCardless where suitable and connected the workflow into the bookkeeping routine. This helped make customer receipts easier to track, debtor reports clearer and month-end reconciliation more efficient.
