Beryl knows the payment deferral techniques single-mindedly applied by companies to re-create themselves by using creditor’s money. She also knows the counter-techniques that enable their clients to happily resist and reverse such depredations.

With Beryl’s assistance, clients develop a constructive relationship with debtors, and are paid on time. She is an expert in building relationships and managing debtors’ ledgers towards both corrective and maintenance outcomes.

Her training skills impart collection techniques to client’s staff, who take ownership of these tasks and take pride in their performance in this important profit-generating aspect of successful businesses.

John Strauss

John's international career is built on resource exploration, development and production - encompassing engineering, contracting and project management; sales, manufacturing and marketing.

Management roles and a directorship within the Anglo-American Corporation group have based him in North America, Africa and Australia.

John provides rational process based consulting, facilitation, training and skill development for clients in Australasia.

In the business of Accounts Receivable, John works in identifying and correcting unacceptable levels of unpaid invoices for services and associated materials arising from systemic rather than financial difficulties.
Such systemic problems are generally described as repeated failure to justify invoice line items to a client within the current and ensuing billing cycles

Successful remedies are often achieved with the cooperative input of both trading partners.
