Your Accounts Receivable & Accounts Payable Management Expert in Downingtown, PA

Optimize Cash Flow. Strengthen Relationships. Gain Financial Clarity.

Cash flow is the lifeblood of any business. It determines whether you can meet obligations, reinvest in growth, and weather unexpected challenges. Yet for many small and mid-sized businesses, cash flow struggles are the number one cause of financial distress. In fact, studies show that 82% of small businesses that fail cite cash flow problems as a contributing factor (Preferred CFO).

The two functions that impact cash flow most directly are Accounts Receivable (AR) and Accounts Payable (AP). At Talbott Bookkeeping, we provide end-to-end AR/AP management designed to help you stay on top of money coming in and going out. With our proactive approach, you’ll always know your true cash position and avoid the pitfalls of poor cash management.

Accounts Receivable Management

Getting paid on time is essential for keeping your business running smoothly. We help you maintain steady inflows of cash by managing receivables with professionalism and consistency.

Our AR Services Include:

• Invoice Promptly and Accurately – We generate and send invoices quickly, with clear payment terms that reduce confusion and disputes.
• Customer Follow-Ups – We handle polite but firm reminders to encourage timely payment while maintaining positive relationships.
• Receivables Tracking & Aging Reports – You’ll receive aging reports showing invoices coming due or past due, so we can act before receivables become bad debts (JR Martin CPA).
• Bad Debt Prevention – By monitoring patterns, we reduce risk and minimize write-offs, improving the reliability of your cash inflows.

Accounts Payable Management

Just as important as managing receivables is keeping payables organized. Late payments damage vendor relationships, incur fees, and create unnecessary stress. Our AP management keeps your outflows timely and predictable.

Our AP Services Include:

• Organize & Schedule Bill Payments – We record and schedule vendor invoices to prevent late fees and build supplier trust.
• Vendor Management – We communicate with vendors to clarify invoices, resolve disputes, and negotiate favorable terms.
• Cash Flow Forecasting – We project receivables and payables to provide accurate forecasts that guide confident decision-making.
