I could not be more proud of the team here at @collbox. We just launched in the #goclio ecosystem just a few short months ago and we've already made a big difference in getting law firms paid for their hard work. Can't wait for our first ever #ClioCon in October!

@Will_Schryver If you invoice from QuickBooks or Xero, drop me a DM. May be able to help.

Me after making payroll last week at my HVAC company with $68.13 left in the checking account and $176,000 of aging AR that still needs to be collected

DO NOT WALK, RUN! 🏃‍♂️💨 to booth 27 at #ClioCon2024 to WIN BIG! 💸 We’re giving you cash to hear our pitch on why CollBox is the perfect solution to get your law firm’s past due invoices paid. @goclio #lawfirms

@ShaynaCPA @Bluesafyre @collbox Thanks for sharing that clarification @ShaynaCPA. We did indeed stop partnering with consumer collection agencies so we don’t offer that connection any longer. I’m always happy to help folks find a good consumer agency / offer advice though!

I have a ex-client that has owed me around $5300 and refuses to pay me. Has anyone had any luck using a bill collector? Or is there a way to report this that will ding his credit? I would love to collect but I am doubtful that will happen. #TaxTwitter

@IraGilligan @Bluesafyre That’s no good! Would love any feedback if you don’t mind sharing! 🙏

@Bluesafyre I used to have decent luck with Collbox but not recently

@NayoCarterGray @Bluesafyre @collbox Thanks for the shoutout my friend! Happy to chat about your situation @Bluesafyre. Feel free to DM and we can find a time to connect!

@Bluesafyre @collbox was the best for me to collect on a client that refused to pay. In the end I got my money!

@JStaatsCPA Welcome to ATX my friend! Enjoy the bbq, Tex-mex, and margaritas!

In Austin for RightNow! Talking AI and building a usage policy for your firm

@johnrea @IraGilligan Dude don’t give away our secrets down here.

@IraGilligan Thursday has always been the first Friday in Austin

Mondays get so much hate, but the real struggle is Thursdays for me. "Two more days of this? Seriously? I'm just gonna recharge with a nap real quick"

@bhallcpa My partner and I have often (half) joked about building an elaborate "spam the spammer" cadence in HubSpot. Maybe now, with the use of AI, we can really build something more to engage with them for us that gets increasingly more bizarre after every exchange... 🤔

I have enrolled you into an 18 step sequence that will auto-email you every month for the next 18 months

@AccountingAsArt @NeverCallMeRich I like the optimism here. What if it’s free because they’ve been farting in it?!

@NeverCallMeRich I believe that is Fart Free Water...

I’m so confused!

@TwylaVerhelst This is timely! I’m heading to a conference this October where he’s giving the keynote and this is on my list. For me: Daily cold showers (and eventually full on cold plunging) changed my life. It fortified my mental toughness (particularly when I was in a really dark place). 💯

Hours billed vs. collected

@MattPowellCFO Or at least 25% deposit as a retainer (if they don’t do monthly billing / ongoing charges, totally depends on the pricing model). SMBs feel guilty when they don’t pay their vendors but never enforce getting paid themselves. Keeps me up at night (literally in this example 😅).

@MattPowellCFO See this all the time, particularly with those that are creatives at heart. Need to implement a mandatory deposit, especially on new clients, that’s at least the first month’s work up front / retainer. Also need to implement an A/R workflow with reminders, calls, late fees, etc.

Interior design agency has a ton of booked revenue but no cash So why don’t they have cash? Takes more days to get paid than it does to pay vendors Now we’re using a credit card and implementing a 3% late fee on all invoices past 30 days

@michaeltdoan @rabbit_hmi Rabbit’s marketing team right now:

@rabbit_hmi I have no idea what this even is. Clearly it's a tech device with a screen, camera, speakers, and a USB-C port. I guess I'll have to click the link to find out.

@cordes_tax @IraGilligan @cbriancpa I was the last one you thought you’d see there.

@IraGilligan @cbriancpa The last one to know, the last one to show

My Uber driver is playing country music and my earbuds are in my bag in the trunk, what is protocol in this situation?

@SeeSureNumbers @AlexxMiles__ @cbriancpa @JStaatsCPA @LoganGrafTax You’re always a road warrior for events @SeeSureNumbers. We’ll have to make it an epic one so it’s worth the roadtrip for you! 🎉🙌

@AlexxMiles__ @mattdarner @cbriancpa @JStaatsCPA @LoganGrafTax That’s what I always do! I’m *only* 4 hours away … 😄

Finally met this rockstar celebrity in real life 🥳 #QBConnect

@AlexxMiles__ @cbriancpa @JStaatsCPA @LoganGrafTax You are always welcome in this town! 💙

@mattdarner @cbriancpa @JStaatsCPA @LoganGrafTax Can I invite myself and pretend I live in Austin??

@cbriancpa @AlexxMiles__ @JStaatsCPA @LoganGrafTax Yep. I’m in!

@mattdarner @AlexxMiles__ @JStaatsCPA @LoganGrafTax We're going to try to get whoever is in Austin together during December for an Austin #Taxtwitter holiday happy hour. You'll have to come 😁
