FIRE PROTECTION · RECEIVABLES
You're busier than ever. So why is money always tight?
For many fire protection companies, the problem isn't a lack of work. It's the gap between finishing the work and getting paid for it.
FireLine finds where your cash is getting stuck, how much is tied up, and which problems to fix first.
The work's done. The money isn't in.
The job is finished and the invoice went out (or at least it should have). But the cash still isn't in the bank, and the bills waiting on it don't care.
It's not about the quality of your work. The busier you get, the more invoices stack up between "done" and "paid," and the harder the old ones are to bring in.
Then, somewhere in the middle of a good year, you stopped running jobs and started chasing your own money.
No one owns the path from finished job to bank account.
Getting paid takes a lot of steps, and it's rarely one kind of billing. Projects bill in stages. Inspections, service, and monitoring each bill on a different schedule. Some customers need special paperwork or a portal.
Most fire protection companies have someone who runs jobs and someone who handles billing. What they don't have is anyone watching the whole path. So gaps open up, and no one sees them until they're old:
| Unbilled Work | Completed work with no invoice sent |
| Submission Gaps | Invoices that don't meet the customer's requirements |
| Unapplied Cash | Payments received but not matched to an invoice |
| Retainage Issues | Held-back money no one is chasing |
| Past-Due Terms | Payment terms quietly slipping past due |
Left alone, these gaps don't stay small. More work means more invoices in the gap, more cash tied up, and more of your week spent chasing it.
FireLine exists to find these gaps. It works only with fire protection companies, and only on this one problem.
Here's how the Receivables Diagnostic works.
01 Talk
A short call about how billing and collections run today. If it isn't a fit, we'll say so.
02 Review
Wherever we can, we work from read-only access to your systems and pull what we need ourselves. That means less back-and-forth for your team, and numbers straight from the source. We follow every step a dollar takes, from the credit decision through billing, submission, payment, and collections. Calls with the people who handle each part cover what the data can't show.
03 Report
You get a written report showing where cash is getting stuck, how much is tied up, how long it takes to come in compared with how long it should, how serious each problem is, and which to fix first. Then we walk through it with you.
It's not just numbers. The report also finds the missing steps and broken handoffs that no aging report would show.
A clear picture, in writing.
Every place money gets stuck, from the credit decision to the bank account
How much cash is tied up, how long it takes to come in, and how long it should take
How serious each problem is, and which to fix first
Findings your team can act on, with or without FireLine
Built for companies that have outgrown guesswork.
This is for fire protection companies doing roughly $2M to $15M per year. These are the companies that grew faster than their back office. The work is coming in strong, but billing, collections, and follow-up aren't keeping pace.
It earns its keep when getting paid has real moving parts:
| Retainage | Earned money held back from open jobs |
| Slow-Paying Accounts | Property managers, national accounts companies, government |
| Customer Portals | ServiceChannel, Corrigo, fmPilot, and others |
| Staged Billing | Big jobs invoiced in phases, not all at once |
| Mixed Work | Inspection, service, or monitoring fees billed on separate schedules |
The more of these you have, the more gaps there are to find. But even one or two can be enough for real money to get stuck. Where it won't help is simple invoicing that mostly gets paid on the spot.
If you're close but not an exact match, reach out anyway. We'll tell you straight whether it's a fit.
See where your money's getting stuck.
Start with a short call. We'll ask how billing and collections run today. You'll leave with a better idea of where to look first, whether or not we work together.
