I just got a job at a cleaning company as a bookkeeper but they have some problems collecting money. Therefore creating other problems like paying the bills. What are some ways that we could go about collecting money. Right now the customers are only called once per week. Should we be calling everyday? Is there an etiquette to this?

If you "just got the job"...slow down. The owner/office manager makes this decision. The decision is a small part of the equation. How large is the account, the business relationship, what other cleaning companies do in you immediate area, etc. Many large companies don't pay "30 days net" and also do not pay late charges, and their suppliers accept that because their account is so large. If the competition is tough for cleaning companies, the owner may accept slow-pays rather than no-work/no-pay.

suspend their cleaning services until they get their account current ... if they don't get their account paid within 60 days of service suspension then turn those accounts over for collection to an accredited collection agency which will eventually get reported to the credit reporting agencies if they fail to settle their account ... what makes this all work is having signed service agreements stipulating payment terms and course of actions for non-payment of accounts
