"When I send an invoice, I need to get paid. I'm not salaried unless people pay me," explains Christine Tierney, founder and CEO of junebird creative.
For her Minnesota-based digital marketing agency serving entrepreneurs and small businesses, manual payment collection was eating into valuable time better spent serving clients and growing her business.
After nearly a decade running her agency, Christine found herself stuck in a reactive cycle of chasing payments. "I would go into each account manually, send statements, and it was mostly retroactive sending of past-due notices versus proactively managing payments," she recalls.
With clients ranging from small LLCs to nonprofits, many without formal accounting departments, getting paid on time was a constant struggle.
As a long-time Xero user, Christine needed a solution that would integrate seamlessly with her existing systems. After discovering Paidnice in the Xero App Store, she found exactly what she was looking for – a flexible, automated system that could adapt to her diverse client base.
The impact was transformative:
"I don't have time to mess around in my accounting system," Christine emphasizes. "I need things that are automated, that I can set up in ways that support my business versus having to fit my business into the structure of something."
The real game-changer was Paidnice's flexibility and automation. Christine now has:
"People are paying on time more because they're getting the reminders, and they're not mean reminders – they're just friendly reminders," Christine notes. "The cost is just a no-brainer. The implementation is just a no-brainer."
For other businesses considering Paidnice, Christine's message is clear: "Whether you are a solopreneur or a big agency, this is a no-brainer. The time saving and freedom from chasing accounts receivables will save you so much money in the long run."
For junebird creative, Paidnice delivered exactly what Christine needed: "Automation that empowers and gives me the ability to run my business without having to chase my accounts receivable."
With more timely payments, automated late fees creating "mailbox money," and hours saved on administration, Christine can focus on what she does best – helping her clients grow their businesses.
