Recover what your clients owe you — before overdue accounts impact your cash flow.

Professional service firms depend on steady cash flow to support daily operations, payroll, business growth, and client service. When invoices remain unpaid, valuable time is often spent following up on outstanding accounts instead of serving clients and growing the business.

At Hawthorne Cole Meridian, we help accounting firms, financial service providers, consultants, law firms, engineering firms, marketing agencies, IT companies, and other professional service businesses recover outstanding commercial invoices quickly and professionally.

Start with our FREE, confidential Oldest Five Client Accounts Review. Submit your five oldest overdue client accounts, and our recovery specialists will review each one, recommend the most effective recovery strategy, and explain your recovery options—with absolutely no obligation.

What We Recover

Every type of overdue professional services receivable—all in one place.

Professional service firms often work on trust, long-term relationships, and agreed payment terms. Unfortunately, delayed payments can interrupt cash flow, reduce profitability, and create unnecessary administrative work.

Our recovery specialists understand professional service contracts, consulting agreements, retainers, milestone billing, recurring service agreements, and commercial payment terms. We develop a recovery strategy for every account while protecting your professional reputation and client relationships whenever possible.
