General Overview
Accounts receivable refers to the money a business is owed by its customers for products or services delivered but not yet paid for. It is recorded as an asset on the balance sheet because it represents future cash inflows. Managing accounts receivable involves issuing invoices, tracking payment deadlines, and following up on overdue accounts to maintain steady cash flow and minimize bad debt risks. Efficient accounts receivable management is essential for a company's financial stability and operational health.
The main purpose of this template is to enable users to monitor Accounts Receivable Balances. The structure is user-friendly and practical and is suitable for any type of business.
