In the most basic sense, accounts receivable is money owed to your business, while accounts payable is money that your business owes to suppliers or service providers. Of course, there is more to accounts receivable and accounts payable than that. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable include any balance of money due to a business for goods delivered or services used that are not yet paid for by the clients or customers, or much more simply, business earnings that are yet to be paid. For example, a cake and pastries shop lets one of their loyal customers purchase her wedding cake on credit; until that customer pays for the cake, it remains as a receivable. Another example is when a landscaping company provides a lawn maintenance service to a client that is scheduled to pay, say, at the end of each month; money owed for the landscaping company’s service is also considered a receivable. Receivables are accounts that your business has a right to receive because you have delivered the product or performed a service for a customer. It is basically a line of credit that you extend to your clients with previously agreed payment terms. Receivables are recorded as current assets; it usually involves one trade receivables account as well as a non-trade receivables account. A company’s accounts receivable strength can be analyzed and measured with the accounts receivable turnover ratio, which indicates how efficiently a business collects any credit extended to customers. A high turnover ratio depends on various factors such as accurate and timely invoicing, strong customer relationships, clear payment terms, and more. We could help you maintain a high accounts receivable turnover ratio and keep an orderly record of your accounts receivable. Accounts Payable Accounts payable constitutes all amounts that your business must pay to suppliers or other service providers that you have received but have not paid yet. An increase in your payables means that you are getting more goods on credit, while a decrease means the rate at which you are paying prior debts is faster than the rate at which you are purchasing new goods or services on credit.
