I know you don’t want to talk about your A/R, but you’ve got to talk about your A/R.

– RJon Robins, author Profit First for Lawyers

If you’ve ever looked at your accounts receivables (A/R) as simply delayed income, this episode will completely change how you understand what those unpaid invoices are really costing you. In segments pulled from the A/R section of Chapter 13 (pages 120-121) and the A/R section from Chapter 14 (curated from pages 133-138) in the Profit First for Lawyers book, you’ll discover why outstanding A/R isn’t just inconvenient, it’s actively sabotaging your profits.

RJon breaks down the hidden mathematics of accounts receivables with a step-by-step demonstration that reveals how one non-paying client can force you to work two additional cases just to break even. But understanding the problem is only half the battle. RJon also lists the specific reports your bookkeeper should be providing you every month to stay on top of your firm’s A/R.

If you’ve ever wondered why your firm stays busy but your bank account doesn’t reflect all that activity, this episode will connect some dots you may not want to see, but absolutely need to understand. Because you can’t keep working for free and expect to have a profitable law firm.
