Hey everyone,
Right now I'm getting about 100+ checks a month for payment for services. It's only increasing monthly as we grow and it's becoming a bigger job to receive and deposit them. It's also not possible to receive other forms of payments as the checks come from large companies and we can't dictate their payment methods. Even rewarding them with discounts for paying other ways doesn't work.
I'm moving that responsibility to our Financial Controller and now need to have the company's mailing address for checks changed so she can receive them. However, she works from home and doesn't want her home address used as the company's.
I've looked into virtual mailboxes and to deposit checks it's about $2/check which our Controller will still have to review and match to invoices. To forward the mail its about $5/day and will ad 2-3 days to receive checks. Both options are not ideal but I still may go with the $2/check option.
I looked into USPS forwarding but they can't do business accounts.
I could get a PO BOX close to her home but she wouldn't be able to go daily because she has a newborn and her husband works long shifts.
Anyway, I thought I'd check here before I choose one of my current options to see if anyone knows of a company that simply forwards mail so that I can show my business address but actually sends the mail to our Controller's home address? A shadow address or something of the sort?
