Accounting & BookkeepingAccounts Receivable / Collections4HighBookkeeper$ implied

Client expects bookkeeper to aggressively collect overdue accounts receivable, but that crosses into debt collection which is outside the bookkeeping role and carries legal risks.

Existing accounting software sends polite reminders but doesn't automate multi-channel, compliant dunning without crossing into regulated debt collection, leaving a gap between gentle nudge and aggressive pursuit.
