A global public relations firm, established over 75 years ago and generating more than half a billion dollars in annual billings, needed a trusted third-party AR shared service and collections partner. Their goal: to safeguard both their financial investments and client relationships while managing overdue receivables on a global scale.
They chose Rapid Collections and Unified Professional Group (its AR shared services division) over two decades ago for their proven, results-driven approach. This strategy—centered on communication, legal expertise, and industry best practices—has consistently delivered high-end outcomes. By seamlessly guiding each client through the collections process, Rapid ensures the PR firm is paid on time, maintains professional respect, and is positioned as a priority “critical vendor,” even when clients face service disruptions or cash flow issues.
Additionally, Rapid shared proactive strategies and internal best practices, helping the PR firm maintain accounts receivable over 90% current at all times.
A Fortune 500 global advertising and marketing firm, founded 40 years ago and generating over $16 billion in annual billings, sought a trusted third-party AR shared service provider. The goal: to optimize working capital for a $3.5 billion division and manage severely past-due accounts through expert collections.
This division encompasses more than 200 agencies across multiple countries, each with unique time zones, currencies, languages, cultures, and accounting systems. The ideal partner needed deep industry knowledge, exceptional communication skills, and the agility to adapt to each agency’s operational environment. Just as importantly, a unified management reporting system was required to surface issues early—before they became significant problems.
The firm also needed a partner that could consistently deliver results while earning the trust and respect of both the agencies and corporate headquarters.
They chose Rapid Collections and its AR shared services division, Unified Professional Group, 10 years ago—drawn not only by the capabilities mentioned above but also by the protection, transparency, and loyalty the team demonstrated throughout every engagement and change initiated by corporate.
Accounts receivable was just one element of working capital management. Rapid also oversaw unbilled assets, ensuring timely invoice delivery. With monthly cash collection targets in the hundreds of millions, Rapid assembled a specialized team to identify and remove obstacles, offering strategic advice to agencies and driving optimal cash performance.
One of the world’s top Fortune 500 design firms—ranked #1 in general building, transportation, and water, and named one of the “World’s Most Admired Companies” for over a decade, as well as a 2025 “World’s Most Ethical Company” by Ethisphere—sought a trusted, proven, and respected collections partner. Their mission: to support internal AR and overseas shared services teams without disrupting workflows or client relationships, while accelerating cash flow to meet monthly financial targets.
The ideal partner needed the flexibility and expertise to work across private and public sectors—including federal and state governments—to help secure and collect payments tied to complex contracts.
Following multiple global recommendations from colleagues, clients, and partners, the firm selected Rapid Collections and its AR shared services division, Unified Professional Group, more than 10 years ago. The partnership not only exceeded expectations in the U.S., but also earned enough trust to expand into Africa, Austria, Europe, India, the Middle East, and the United Kingdom.
Throughout this long-standing relationship, Rapid has maintained a debt recovery rate consistently above 95%.
A highly trusted healthcare leader specializing in technology-driven personalized medication management—with over 1,300 client locations through multiple acquisitions—faced a growing need to resolve aged accounts receivable from both active and inactive clients, dating back to 2018. They required a debt recovery partner with proven experience, rigorous data security, and a deep understanding of healthcare privacy laws.
Following a recommendation from top-level internal leadership, the organization selected Rapid Collections and its AR shared services division, Unified Professional Group, in 2025. Rapid had already earned a strong reputation with executives from prior engagements, demonstrating a consistent track record of trust, performance, and best practices. The partnership also offered an opportunity for internal process improvement by leveraging Rapid’s expertise.
The results were immediate. Long-standing past due accounts—some more than seven years old—were swiftly resolved and paid. This significant cash recovery, along with the trust built between Rapid and the healthcare provider’s finance team and CFO, has positioned the organization to move forward confidently. With AR securely managed, the company can now focus on its core mission—delivering personalized care—without worrying about receivables.
A top national provider of IT infrastructure, serving over 4,000 active clients, has experienced rapid growth—and with it, an influx of past-due accounts. Challenges ranged from non-responsiveness and unresolved questions to mismatched payments and client-side cash flow issues. The firm needed a scalable solution that could evolve alongside their growth while ensuring exceptional recovery rates, professionalism, data security, and adaptability to their fast-paced environment.
Based on multiple recommendations from employees who had previously worked with Rapid, the firm partnered with Rapid Collections and its AR shared services division, Unified Professional Group, over five years ago. Since then, the service model has evolved repeatedly to match the company’s shifting needs—yet the quality has remained consistently strong, regardless of scale or internal changes.
Today, the IT firm benefits from reliable cash flow and full transparency into each account—complete with background context, recovery plans, and clear timelines. For any company, especially one growing this quickly, cash flow is vital. With Rapid’s ongoing involvement, the firm can invest confidently in future expansion with the financial stability to support it.
A global bipartisan political strategy and consulting firm—renowned for its work in campaigns and political communications, and part of a Fortune 500 company—sought assistance over 20 years ago to manage past-due accounts. Their diverse client base includes top global corporations as well as early-stage startups that depend heavily on external funding. The firm is highly respected for its ability to leverage political relationships, securing key meetings that spark interest and engagement for its clients.
After receiving recommendations from its parent Fortune 500 company and agencies worldwide, the firm selected Rapid Collections and its AR shared services division, Unified Professional Group. Rapid was chosen for its ability to drive consistent cash recovery through strategic communication—highlighting the lobbying firm’s critical role in clients’ broader plans and ensuring payment urgency was well understood.
When internal efforts are exhausted, the lobbying firm turns to Rapid and its global legal network to handle delinquent accounts. Over the past two decades, this partnership has resulted in millions in recovered revenue and the implementation of hundreds of best practices to safeguard the firm’s financial health moving forward.
A Fortune 500 global online travel agency needed a debt collections partner it could trust—one capable of keeping pace with its fast-moving, international business. With operations spanning continents, the agency sought a global partner that could integrate seamlessly with its AR team and deliver consistent, high-quality results—something previous agencies had failed to provide.
After internal leaders gave strong recommendations, the agency selected Rapid Collections and its AR shared services division, Unified Professional Group, over five years ago.
The relationship presented unique challenges. Though commissions are owed on completed bookings, the process is more complex than it appears. Many hotels operate under well-known brands but are independently owned. Complicating matters further, commission structures often depend on seasonality, cancellations, and varying booking terms.
Despite these nuances, Rapid has delivered exceptional results. Beyond improved recovery, they’ve provided valuable feedback and helped strengthen the relationship between the travel agency and its hotel partners. The online travel agency is not only paid faster and more consistently, but also viewed as a priority partner across its hospitality network.
At Rapid Collections, we treat every client—new or existing, mid-sized or large, across any industry—with the same level of professionalism, transparency, and care. Our contingent fee structure is consistent for all clients, and so is the quality of our service, reporting, and communication. The only variation lies in how we tailor our approach to meet each client’s unique needs.
We scale with intention—never overcharging, never underdelivering. We recognize that clients often come to us during financially sensitive times, and we’re attuned to those challenges before the first conversation even begins. Whether clients have low volume, short timelines, or complex AR issues, we assess each situation thoroughly to understand both the client’s needs and their customer’s ability to resolve the debt.
Our method is fast yet precise—built on pinpointed timelines that protect our clients while maximizing recovery.
Since launching in February 2003, our mission has remained constant: to help clients maintain control while gaining clarity. They know what happened, what’s happening next, and how to prevent the same issues in the future. That trust, paired with proven best practices and long-standing client relationships, has made us a globally recommended debt collection partner—often through word of mouth, professional networks, and even personal referrals.
At every stage of the collections process, we protect our clients’ image and investment as if they were our own.
