"We are very grateful for your thought leadership, which is truly disruptive within the accounts receivable and the credit industry today. As we all know, it is extremely difficult for small businesses to get access to credit, and just like you mentioned, the cheapest source of funding for small businesses is the cash from effective accounts receivable management."

Dear Jean-Marc,

Thank you for meeting with members of my Administration.

Youth engagement is vital to maintaining a vibrant democracy, and I appreciate your sharing your insights. As a driving force for change, young people bring fresh ideas and a unique perspective to our national dialogue.

Thank you, again, for your thoughtful participation. "

"Access to capital is one of the most critical resources necessary for small businesses to grow and to generate jobs. Effective accounts receivable management is an essential component of a small business owner’s cash management process. Your insights during our panel about better working capital management were extremely valuable for the small business community.

I wanted to reiterate my appreciation of having you present at our organization on such an important topic and we are looking forward to seeing you again as a panel speaker in the future."

Accounts receivable management

Managing receivables is the most important part of running a business. Yet, millions of businesses struggle to get it right. In fact, 1 in 2 small businesses in the US struggle to get paid by their customers.

The most important aspect of managing receivables is making sure nothing falls through the cracks. That means knowing exactly who owes you what & when, and what you should do about it.
