58 min - How to Get Paid On Time [Ep. 5]
Today, we’re talking about one of the most challenging aspects of freelancing: getting paid on time.
This is something that can be frustrating, scary, and cause a lot of stress for you. Just like any story, there are two sides to this. In this episode of Finance Friday, we’ll be hearing from Beth about what goes on behind the scenes when you send an invoice to your client. We’ll walk through the entire journey, from setting up your payment terms, to submitting paperwork, to how to properly format your invoices, and more. Our goal is to help you do everything in your power to increase your chances of getting paid on time.
It’s really important to remember that most of the time, late payments on your invoices aren’t personal. As we'll learn from Beth, it’s usually a cash flow issue, a lack of good internal processes on the client’s side, misaligned expectations, or some other internal issue going on that’s out of your control.
While you usually can’t do much to fix internal process issues for your client, it does help to understand what’s going on, learn how to ask the right questions from the beginning, and adjust your expectations, so that this situation can be improved.

About The Kenza Pod
From the publisher's feed
Becoming a parent is a beautiful experience, but for those of us who want or need to continue to build our careers, the juggle can be a real challenge. Here at The Kenza Collective, we are passionate…
about educating and empowering parents to make the leap from captive employee to full time Independent Professional (aka freelancer, consultant, etc). When you work for yourself, you are free to build a life and a living that supports your family's needs. And in turn, this enables us to raise better humans, cultivate stronger relationships, and prioritize our physical & mental health. Join CoFounders Beth and Tiffany as they teach you what it takes to work for yourself so that you can find freedom in your schedule, your energy, and who you choose to work with. We break down complex financial and tax related topics, teach you how to land (and keep) clients, write proposals, manage projects, and protect your energy - all while juggling your family responsibilities. We also explore the various types of independent career paths out there through talking to parents just like you who've made the leap. Whether you're a parent who is curious about what it takes to go out on your own, or you’ve been doing it for years, this podcast will help you navigate the tricky (but oh so rewarding!) waters of working for ourselves while raising a family.
