Frequently asked questions
How does Equisettle help architecture firms collect project payments faster?
Equisettle automates payment reminders for milestone-based architecture billing, tracking each project stage invoice individually. Automated follow-up goes out at the right intervals without you needing to make awkward calls — protecting client relationships while accelerating cash flow.
How does Equisettle handle payments delayed by client design revisions?
Equisettle tracks each invoice's age independently of the design process. If a client is delaying payment citing revision queries, Equisettle flags this as a dispute and escalates it through a different workflow — separating genuine payment disputes from straightforward collection.
Which accounting platforms does Equisettle integrate with for design firms?
Equisettle integrates with Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, and FreeAgent — the most widely used accounting platforms by UK architecture and design practices. Project invoices sync automatically.
What is the typical DSO for UK architecture firms?
UK architecture and design firms average 45-60 days DSO, with planning and construction-stage clients often slower. Equisettle clients typically reduce DSO by 15-25 days within the first 90 days.
Can Equisettle manage contractor and subcontractor invoices for design firms?
Equisettle focuses on your outbound accounts receivable — the invoices you issue to clients. It ensures you collect from clients faster, improving the cash flow you need to pay your own contractors and suppliers on time.
