Accounts Receivable (A/R) is money customers owe your business for products or services you’ve already provided.
Accounts Payable (A/P) is money your business owes vendors and suppliers for bills you haven’t paid yet.
Why should you pay attention to both?
Because overdue invoices can hurt your cash flow, while unpaid bills can lead to late fees and strained vendor relationships.
Review your A/R and A/P regularly so you know what needs to be collected and what needs to be paid.
