Welcome to FY2024! The last 12 months has been a tough year for many business sectors and current key economic indicators are painting a bleak outlook for the year ahead. With diverse client bases, service providers such as accounting and legal firms are largely resilient however they need to be more conscious of providing services to clients who will not be able to pay.
If your accounting or legal firm is heading into FY2024 with a rapidly ageing debtor ledger, now is the time to be investing in great Aussie tech (FeeSynergy) and payment solutions (FeeSynergy) that will help you regain control and position you for strong cash flow throughout FY 2024 … and beyond. We know from extensive client data over many years that once a debt finds its way into the 90+ aged debt “bucket” (which we refer to as the red zone), it could be sitting there for 12 months or longer. Our benchmark for average age of 90+ aged debt should be no more than 200 days. The older the debt, the harder it is to collect!
Do you know how to quickly calculate your average debtor days? Follow the example below and see how your firm stacks up against a typical FeeSynergy Collect user firm.
In the Example above; what this means is that 23% of the firm’s turnover is tied up in debtors at all times!

Just imagine never having to worry about your firm’s cashflow ever again; always cash in the bank to pay wages, super, BAS, rent, tech upgrades etc.
How is this possible?
By implementing FeeSynergy’s automated debtor management and payment solutions platform (called FeeSynergy Collect) your average debtor days should consistently be less than 30 days. 30 days is the actual best practice benchmark for the hundreds of leading accounting firms who utilise the FeeSynergy Collect platform.
For many accounting firms, the thought of adding another app into the firm’s tech stack can be daunting. FeeSynergy Collect however is “not just another app”, it is a platform that brings together a range of integrated solutions to problems common to most accounting (and legal) firms.
