Accounts Receivable Article


From a business perspective this NYT* article discussing accounts receivable is interesting and appropriate for contractors.

http://boss.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/1...g-receivables/

We've made similar mistakes () as the author did and learned similar lessons.

Credit extended is always a risk - no matter who the customer is.



* I know the NYT is not the last bastion of truth, but they sometimes get it right.

Re: Accounts Receivable Article


I learned it the hard way that no matter how long you have been dealing with a customer, credit extension is a big risk. Thanks for the link, though I could say I am passed on this stage but who knows...
