What does collects.io do for professional services firms?
collects.io is an accounts receivable platform for professional services firms on Xero. Your practice software raises the invoice and stops. When a named client hasn't paid, the reason is almost always a timesheet or a scope line. collects.io resolves it from the record you already hold, then collects, inside rules you set.
Your practice software raises the invoice and stops.
The dispute is almost always a timesheet or a scope line — resolvable from the record you already hold.
- 16% of invoices to large businesses in professional services are paid late — above the all-sector average.
- Your debtors are named people at named companies, reachable by email, with no payment portal in the way.
- Practice and project tools that sit on your Xero ledger raise the invoice. None of them resolves why it hasn't been paid.
- We read your real days-to-pay off your own ledger when you connect.
