Why bookkeepers recommend it

  • Approval-first — nothing sends without your client reviewing it
  • Nothing can be created, edited, or deleted in your client's accounts — read-only
  • Xero-native: aged debtors are surfaced in a format founders act on
  • Your client stays in control of every relationship

Aged debtors made actionable

The aged debtors report tells your client what's stuck. Kelo tells them what to do about it. Instead of a PDF they ignore, they get a prioritised chase queue with drafts for each row — sorted by value, age, and payment history. Your advisory recommendation becomes action.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to help a bookkeeping client chase overdue invoices?

Help them set up a structured chase cadence: reminder at due date, nudge at day 7, formal demand at day 14. Approval-first tools reduce the risk of sending the wrong tone.

What is a healthy debtor days figure for a UK small business?

Below 30 days is strong; 30–45 days is typical; above 60 days signals a chase process problem rather than a client problem.

Can bookkeepers recommend invoice chasing software to their clients?

Yes; many bookkeepers recommend tools that integrate with Xero or QuickBooks as part of their advisory service.

How do I explain the cost of late payment to a bookkeeping client?

Use the actual aged debtors figure from their Xero or QuickBooks reports and model the cash impact of moving average payment from 45 to 30 days — the difference is usually thousands of pounds per year.
