Discover how Abivo uses AI-powered voice and email agents to automate accounts receivable for professional services, reducing DSO and protecting client relationships.
The Challenge of Modern Professional Services Billing
Whether you are managing a bookkeeping firm, a legal practice, or providing fractional CFO services, your expertise is your product. However, many firms find that their most valuable asset (time) is often wasted chasing overdue invoices. In the professional services world, the "collections" process is notoriously difficult because it can feel at odds with the role of a trusted advisor. Firms frequently deal with:
Delayed payments on net-30 or net-60 terms.
Disputes over billable hours or project milestones.
High invoice volumes that overwhelm small administrative teams.
The hesitation to call a client about money for fear of damaging the relationship.
Protecting Relationships With AI-Powered Follow-Ups
Abivo helps accounting and consulting firms recover overdue payments professionally and consistently. By using human-like AI voice agents, you can move the "debt collector" role away from your advisors and onto an automated system. This ensures that your team stays focused on high-value consulting while the AI handles the administrative heavy lifting.
Our AI agents provide a seamless experience by:
Confirming that clients received their invoices immediately after billing.
Providing friendly reminders before and after payment due dates.
Answering common questions regarding payment methods or billing periods.
Routing complex inquiries or disputes directly to your internal team.
