What Are Accounts Receivable?

Accounts receivable are the monies customers owe a company for services or products purchased. These items are often bought on credit and have specific repayment terms, which makes these receivables, in effect, IOUs. They are seen as liquid assets, as they form part of a business’s working capital, and as current assets, because payment is due within a year or less.

Managing receivables can be cumbersome, especially when tracking payment due dates and keeping balance sheets in order so overdue accounts are flagged. Outsourced accounts receivable management can help a business manage its receivables, which is essential for its financial well-being, leading to enhanced cash flow and an improved accounts receivable process.
