How to submit a new account to Assist

Submit past-due invoices from a customer to our Assist service

Now that you've connected your accounting system, confirmed your Basic and Company Settings, and subscribed, you're ready to submit accounts to our Assist service.

To make a new placement, you'll start by heading over to the Past Due section within the application. You can find that by clicking here, or you can simply click the red Past Due button on the right side of the application. This is also the default screen within the CollBox system when you log in.
