Q: I just discovered that for the past six months I have been billing a client half of what I should have been. Should I just include the total of the past due balance on his next bill or contact him first to let him know that it’s coming?

My partner, on the other hand, thinks we should call the client and let him know what’s going on before sending the bill. What do you think? — Louis K.
