It depends on the jurisdiction and governing law in your contract, but I assume it’s a US state. In that case, you’d be best to hire a corporate collection agent in the relevant US state and I doubt anyone here could help you with such a specific recommendation.

If the contract jurisdiction is in the USA, it's going to cost you loads to engage a lawyer there, to represent you whilst you are based here...
If your client has filed for Chapter 11 protection, then you stand to (most likely) lose it all, since YourCo. will just be a (small) concurrent creditor.
Chapter 11 - Bankruptcy Basics | United States Courts
If they are just "ducking their Creditors", ditto.
5 months owed could be $5000 or $50000 or $500000 - each of these amounts will reflect a different approach...
