ESSENTIALS of Credit, Collections, and Accounts Receivable

Credit is part science, part art, and part gut-feel.

It is the mission of this book to identify both for the reader. For the last eight plus years, I have been lucky enough to spend my days talk…

One of four excuses is usually given: (1) nobody reads it, (2) the hands-on approach in which each person teaches another is a better method, (3) written policies and procedures are too confining, and (4) nobody has the time to write documentation. In a constantly changing accounting world, none of t…
