Your year-end collection target is set. Your team isn’t getting bigger. So how do you collect more cash with the time you have left?

Q4 collections often become an exercise in more: more emails, more calls, more aging reports, and more pressure on billing attorneys and collections teams.

There’s a better way.

Join Zebraworks CEO Bill Bice for a practical look at how law firms can improve Q4 collections by focusing their teams on the cash they can still influence before December 31.

You’ll learn how to automate routine A/R follow-up, remove friction between the invoice and payment, identify changes in client payment behavior that traditional aging reports can miss, and prioritize the opportunities most likely to bring cash forward.

Bill will also explore why a client that normally pays in 35 days but is suddenly at 60 may deserve more attention than an invoice sitting at 90—and how firms can use financial data to answer three critical questions:

What matters? What’s it worth? What should happen next?

Attendees will leave with a practical framework for making Q4 collections more focused, consistent and effective, without simply asking their teams to work harder.

Key takeaways: Automate the predictable. Find the anomalies. Prioritize recoverable cash. Make it easier for clients to pay. Measure what actually comes in.
