Debtors’ Management – A Key Business Advisory Services Product

Happy New Financial Year! - Monday 12th July 2021
Debtors Management - A Key Business Advisory Services Product
“Longest debtors’ days outstanding in the world!” This dubious title was awarded to Australia in November 2016 with an average debtors’ days outstanding of 56.4 days.
The then Australian Small Business Ombudsman – Kate Carnell described this as the “silent killer of modern business”.
She also said that “90% of small business failures are due to poor cash flow management”.
Subsequently to the announcement of this very poor statistic for Australian small business the Federal Government announced that government departments would pay their bills to small businesses faster and the Prime Minister requested that big business do likewise.
A recent article in Anthill Magazine has indicated that the average SME is waiting 56 days to be paid. In 3 ½ years all that has been accomplished is an improvement of 0.4 days in the debtors’ days outstanding. Of more concern the debtors’ days outstanding range was from 7 days to 134 days.
Debtors Management is a very important area for SMEs and we believe it is an ideal area for accountants, bookkeepers and business advisors wishing to offer Business Advisory Services to start this new diversified range of services that will assist your SME clients to save cash thus improving their cash flow.
The second webinar that we are presenting in the Business Advisory Services Implementation Training is targeted at Debtors’ Management and is being presented on Tuesday, 13 July 2021 at 12 noon AEST – to register click here.
The presenters in this webinar will be Peter Towers, Managing Director - ESS BIZTOOLS and Brad Smart, Managing Director - “Selling the Message”. Brad Smart will discuss how important communications are between professional advisers and clients particularly in areas relating to Debtors’ Management. Brad Smart has been training executives from the corporate and government sectors in media and presentation skills for over 30 years.
Business Advisory Services Implementation Training – Getting Ready
ESS BIZTOOLS is launching the “Business Advisory Services Implementation Training” series for accountants who are committed to providing Business Advisory Services.
“Business Advisory Services Implementation Training - Getting Ready” with guest presenter Andrew Geddes an Accounting Industry Guru was held on Friday 2nd July 2021.
Andrew Geddes responded to a question – “Why should accountants proactively deliver Business Advisory Services to their clients”. Andrew answered - “If you don’t help your clients with their businesses they might go broke, then you won’t have a tax accounting client!”. “Also accountants have a moral obligation having been given the privilege of tertiary education, you should be helping businesses in your community”.
This webinar will give you an overview of the planning and training that is necessary for accountants to establish a strong Business Advisory Services culture which will add value to clients, provide very interesting work to your team members and create new revenue streams for your professional firm based on the ESS BIZTOOLS’ product packages.
