About alanassociates

Alan Schwartz has over 20 years of solid experience in the Australian business debt collection industry. Unlike large agencies or offshore call centres, Alan personally manages every step of the collection process — from first contact through to payment confirmation.

Alan began his career at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) before moving into internal audit for a major airline, where attention to detail and accuracy were essential.

He then became Credit Manager at a large fabric manufacturing plant spanning over 7,000 square metres, managing complex accounts and supplier relationships.

Over the years, Alan has worked as a subcontractor for major finance companies including AGC, Esanda, and Avco Finance, and as Credit Manager in the timber industry. He’s also served as a credit contractor in the fitness equipment sector — gaining valuable insight into how different businesses manage their debt and cash flow.

No matter the field, Alan’s approach has always been the same: clear communication, persistence, and professionalism.

And it works — 69% of debts under 60 days are paid after the first contact, and another 20% after the second.

Today, Alan brings this experience together at alanassociates, helping businesses across Australia recover overdue accounts quickly, efficiently, and respectfully.

“It’s not just what you say — it’s how you say it that gets the job done.”
