Accounts receivable is revenue that hasn’t been collected and it’s money that the clients owe to a business for delivering them products or services. In contrast, accounts payable is the supply owed by the business to suppliers. If you think in terms of receivables as cash coming in and payables as cash going out, all your accounts reappear negative, resulting in zero working capital. Able management of both will keep the cash flow healthy. This creates financial problems if receivables are too slow or payables accumulate. Both are necessary during budgeting, forecasting, and the overall financial control. Visit us for accounts receivable vs payable.
