Turn Completed Work Into Collected Revenue

Professional accounts receivable follow-up for contractors and service businesses — built by a former construction business owner who lived the cash-flow problem firsthand.

Built for GCs, service providers, insurance restoration, and city/state contractors.

Why Second Wind AR exists

Second Wind AR was created after 14 years in the construction industry — including 6 years running a commercial services company where the single biggest problem was always the same: predictable cash flow.

When the pipeline is full, small payment delays don’t feel like an emergency. But during slow seasons, large projects, or expansion, slow payments and AR mistakes can hurt a business fast.

In my last three years in business, we collected 99.5%, 99.3%, and 102% of invoiced revenue — not with magic, but with a disciplined, active approach.

Passive AR waits. Active AR prevents delays.

Most companies finish the work, send the invoice, and then the waiting game starts. If it’s Net 30, you often don’t even know there’s an issue until the invoice is already overdue — and every week overdue lowers the odds of getting paid in full.

Payment problems are usually not malicious. They’re usually human errors: missing COI/W9, compliance items nobody followed up on, invoice routed to the wrong department, batch processing delays, vacations/holidays, mailing delays, job changes, or “it got lost in the system.”

Second Wind AR exists to catch those issues early — before they turn into 30/60/90-day problems.

How Second Wind Keeps Revenue Moving

Most receivables problems don’t start as major disputes — they begin as small administrative gaps, missed documentation, routing errors, or timing issues that quietly delay payment.

Second Wind replaces passive waiting with a structured receivables system designed to keep invoices progressing toward payment and prevent avoidable delays before they impact your cash flow.

Proactive Engagement
As soon as work is completed and the invoice is issued, we confirm receipt, verify supporting documentation, and resolve common administrative issues early — before they have the chance to slow payment.
Active Oversight
Every invoice is tracked against contractual timelines with consistent, professional communication, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.
Controlled Escalation
If payment begins to drift, outreach is elevated in a deliberate and professional manner — maintaining strong customer relationships while reinforcing payment expectations.
Resolution Partnership
For significantly delayed balances, we remain engaged, document every interaction, and provide leadership with clear visibility so informed decisions can be made confidently.

What This Means for Your Business

Predictable cash flow

Fewer stalled invoices and less revenue trapped in receivables.

Stronger customer accountability

Consistent communication keeps your invoices visible and prioritized.

Documented communication

Every touchpoint is recorded, creating clarity and protection if escalation becomes necessary.

Operational relief

Your team stays focused on running projects — not chasing payments.

Second Wind is not a collections agency and does not replace your accounting department. We operate as the structured follow-through layer that protects your revenue and helps stabilize cash flow.

We don’t replace your admin team — we make AR consistent.

Second Wind AR is designed to work alongside your existing office/admin staff. We focus on follow-up, communication, documentation, and consistency.

We do need an active decision maker for management-level calls once an invoice reaches a stage where choices matter.

What we are (and are not)

  • We are: a professional AR follow-up system designed for B2B construction-style billing.
  • We are not: a law firm. If legal escalation becomes necessary, we help prepare the documentation packet and timeline.
  • We are not: a replacement for your internal accounting — we’re the follow-through layer that protects cash flow.

Stop letting invoices drift into “maybe someday.”

If you do B2B invoicing — GC work, restoration, city/state projects, milestones, punch lists — we’ll keep your receivables tight and your cash flow more predictable.
