Isn't your client paying their invoice on time? Every self-employed person encounters this (unfortunately) sooner or later. You'll recognise it: you check your mailbox, your account or your bookkeeping tool, you send a friendly reminder email (or two or three) and hope that there's finally a response or a payment.

With Accountable, you can now send manual or automated payment reminders. This saves you time, money and stress whilst waiting for payment.

Why payment reminders are so important

Late payments are unfortunately a reality for many self-employed people and small business owners. This not only causes frustration, but also hassle in your bookkeeping and uncertainty about your cash flow.

Yet you want to remain professional and maintain a good relationship with your client. A friendly payment reminder is the solution.

If payment is delayed and you want to take legal action at some point, you must be able to demonstrate that you've reminded your client about the payment. A clear reminder is therefore not only useful, but also necessary.

With Accountable, you can sort this quickly and easily, without any extra hassle.

Manual payment reminders: quick and personal

On the income page in Accountable, you can immediately see which invoices are still outstanding and which have reached their due date.

With one click, you can send a reminder email that you can fully customise. This way, you determine the tone and can personalise the message.

Automatic payment reminders: let Accountable do the work

Don't want to waste time following up on your invoices? Then you can also very easily set up automatic reminders.

  • You choose how many days after the due date the reminder is sent.
  • You can add multiple reminders, for example after 7 days and after 21 days.
  • You add variables to the email template such as invoice number, your client's name, amount and due date.

This way, your client always receives a clear, professional message whilst you can simply focus on your business.

They always answer right away to any question I have, they provide clear answers, and they are very patient even when I struggle to understand. They try to explain in different ways. They are very helpful, responsive and friendly.

UI is great. Feature packed and very easy to use. The team at Accountable were VERY quick to respond and their team of technicians soon had a fix in place. Very happy with the level of service so far. Thumbs up from me!

This program is a lifesaver, and it is always improving. Plus, it has an AI chat feature that is actually useful.

The coaching session on tax management was excellent, good material, excellent explanations and very insightful. Combined with the AI I never feel alone with Accountable.

The availability of your team to help and guide people to understand their finances better is what really makes Accountable valuable. While the AI is able to give answers to most basic questions, specific scenarios need counsel from a human which your team performs beautifully.

They always answer for questions wherever is via direct e-mail or through app. If they can’t answer fully they will forward you to the right place. Documents were always prepared well and ready to send further to government. Everything is intuitive in the app and easy to sort out even for someone completely green in this field.
