Adfin vs Chaser: do you need a chasing tool or a full payments platform?
Chaser is credit control software that takes payments through your Stripe account. Adfin takes card, bank and direct debit payments itself and chases too.
How long does a customer have to pay an invoice in the UK?
Agreed terms apply, and with none agreed a business customer has 30 days from the later of the work and notice of the amount. Plus what you can charge after.
Best payment providers for businesses in 2026
Adfin, Stripe, GoCardless, PayPal and Modulr compared on payment methods, fee caps, payouts and chasing, with what a £1,000 invoice costs on each.
Does Xero collect direct debit?
No. Xero records the invoice and payment, but a connected provider collects the money. Who does what, what it costs through Xero, and how to pick a provider.
How do recruitment agencies get paid?
Perm placements earn a one-off fee of about 15% to 30% of first-year salary. Temp work is invoiced weekly for hours worked plus the agency's margin.
Best payment providers for accountancies in 2026
Adfin, GoCardless, Stripe and QuickBooks Payments compared for UK practices: fee note costs, mandates at engagement, chasing and ledger sync.
How do I match bank payments to recruitment invoices automatically?
Recruitment payments often lack a usable reference. Give each client unique bank details so payments match to invoices and sync to Xero or QuickBooks.
Can accountants charge clients interest on unpaid fees?
Yes, on business clients: fees carry statutory interest and fixed compensation with no clause needed. Private clients, engagement letters, liens and notice.
Does Adfin take its fee out of what it collects, or bill it separately?
Adfin bills its fee separately and pays out the full amount clients paid every weekday, so each payout matches what was paid without fee splitting.
How do I stop forgetting to bill clients for hosting and software costs?
Add each hosting or software cost to the client's recurring invoice the day you buy it, put it in the contract, and collect it by direct debit.
How do I get paid when someone else is paying my client's bill?
Invoice your client, mark it payable by the third party, and agree the payer's cap and contact in writing before work starts, as on settlement agreements.
How to calculate statutory interest on a late invoice
The statutory interest formula step by step, a worked example at 11.75%, the fixed compensation bands and four checks to make before you send the claim.
