Why MSP-specialist accountants and bookkeepers matter when choosing billing software
MSP-specialist accountants know where MSP billing goes wrong in the ledger. Ask how a tool will post to Xero or QuickBooks, then trial it with your team.
How do I get clients to pay recruitment invoices on time?
Agree terms and payment method at signing, collect POs up front, send invoices with a payment link and remind clients before the due date, not after.
How to get every client onto direct debit, even when it's already in your T&Cs
A direct debit clause in your terms lets you ask for a mandate, but each client still has to sign one. Send it with the contract, chase it and move the rest.
How much does Adfin actually cost vs GoCardless? A transparent fee breakdown
Both publish 1% + 20p per direct debit with a £4 cap. See what Adfin charges, what GoCardless adds for failed payments, cards and chasing, and how to compare.
Direct debit adoption in the UK: 2026 data and trends
About 5 billion UK direct debits moved over £1.5 trillion in 2025. Under 3% are business to business, and open banking is growing alongside, not replacing it.
How to collect rent by direct debit when your bank says you're too small
You don't need your own facility. A payment provider can collect by direct debit under its own arrangements, with no Service User Number or bank approval.
Can automated credit control fix historic bad debt, or only stop new debt going bad?
Mostly it stops new debt going bad. Old ledgers need a manual clean-up and a decision on each account first, then automation keeps new invoices on track.
How to connect Stripe and QuickBooks without a third-party bridge tool
Stripe pays out net lump sums and its QuickBooks export is Desktop only. Record payouts by hand, or take payments that land in full and match themselves.
Standing order vs direct debit for rent: which is better for letting agents?
For most letting agents, direct debit. You set the amount and collect on the due date, while a cancelled standing order shows up as a gap in the bank feed.
What is a virtual bank account, and is it the same as invoice financing?
A virtual bank account is an extra account number routing to a real account so payments can be matched. Invoice financing is borrowing against invoices.
How the UK's 2026 late payment crackdown affects fire, security and field service contractors
The 60-day cap and retention ban are still in the Commercial Payments Bill. Large firms' reporting has changed, and statutory interest is worth using now.
Is it worth invoicing for small jobs? Managing low-value, high-frequency billing (fire alarm tests, PPM visits)
Yes, but batch regular visits onto one invoice per customer, as admin costs the same for a £60 test as a £1,400 job. Collect by direct debit or on site.
