Accounting & BookkeepingAccounts Receivable / Collections5CriticalBookkeeper$ explicit

A bookkeeper is frustrated because a client has not paid for 5 weeks of work and is ignoring payment requests, despite the bookkeeper having completed a massive 7-year cleanup project.

Existing payment tools like Stripe only provide a payment link, but they don't help with following up or escalating when clients ignore requests. The bookkeeper is left to manually chase the client, and there's no integrated system to enforce payment for completed work.
