1) 21 days or 8 days or 17 days. NOT 30 days or a multiple thereof.
2) No, though I have been tempted occasionally. In one case the accounts dept was sympathetic with me over their MD being slow every invoice signing off, so I'd go and have tea with them for an hour each Friday afternoon and book it as paid time "OH:Admin". We reckoned that that easily covered any interest costs to me, and made Friday so much better!
- michaelflux 10y agoHave you found any change in how people pay the invoices after you started doing the nonstandard days?
- DamonHD 10y agoI generally end up getting to know the relevant people in accounts when they ask me "Uh, what do we do with this?" and talk to them and build enough of a relationship that payments are made as well as they can be. (Or else, in some spectacular cases, an accounts person being stupid to me gets fired.)
