Bookkeeping & Outsourced Accounting — AP & AR Outsourcing
Cash flow problems are rarely a profitability problem — they're a timing problem, caused by vendor bills paid late and customer invoices collected slower than they should be. FMCA manages the payables and receivables cycle actively, chasing collections and scheduling payments on purpose, rather than leaving both to whoever has time at month-end.
Reviewed by FMCA's Senior Accounting Advisory Team — CPAs and former Big Four auditors serving 500+ UAE and KSA SMEs.
Four areas of work, run to keep cash moving in both directions on schedule.
Bills entered and scheduled against terms so vendors are paid on time, without a rushed decision every payment run.
Invoices issued promptly and overdue accounts followed up on a set cadence, not left until cash actually runs short.
A clear view of what's owed and what's due, updated regularly rather than reconstructed once a quarter under pressure.
Statements checked against your records regularly, catching disputes and duplicate charges before they compound.
Payables and receivables handled only when there's time create predictable, avoidable cash flow damage.
Late payments strain supplier relationships and can lose favourable terms that took years of on-time payment to earn.
Every week an overdue invoice goes unchased is a week of cash the business doesn't have access to, regardless of how profitable the underlying sale was.
Without regular vendor account reconciliation, the same invoice can be paid twice — a surprisingly common and avoidable loss.
This connects directly into your bookkeeping records and management reporting, rather than sitting as a separate, disconnected process.
The right answer depends on transaction count, not company size alone.
Our Approach
Recording an overdue invoice isn't the same as chasing it. FMCA's team follows up on collections on a set cadence and schedules vendor payments deliberately — the same discipline behind our bookkeeping practice, applied to the cash moving in both directions.
How We Work
Illustrative scenarios based on the kind of work we do — not descriptions of specific named clients.
A structured collections cadence reduced the average time to collect overdue receivables from six weeks to under three.
A routine vendor account reconciliation flagged a duplicate invoice before payment was released, avoiding an unnecessary cash outflow.
Scheduled payment processing kept a key supplier relationship current, preserving extended payment terms that had taken years to negotiate.

FAQ
Yes, on the terms you set — we can follow up directly under your business's name, or prepare reminders for you to send, depending on how you want the relationship managed.
We flag priority and timing against agreed terms and business impact, but the final payment decision and release always stays with you.
It works best as part of one connected bookkeeping engagement, since AP/AR figures feed directly into reconciliation — we can also coordinate with an existing provider if preferred.
Any business where AP/AR is currently squeezed into someone's spare time rather than actively managed — often the point where transaction volume has outgrown an ad-hoc process.
Once onboarded, aging reports are typically available on a weekly or monthly cycle, matched to how often you need cash flow visibility.
