What is Accounts Receivable?

Accounts receivable (AR) is the amount owed to a company resulting from the company providing goods and/or services on credit. The term trade receivable is also used in place of accounts receivable. These are generally in the form of invoices raised by a business and delivered to the customer for payment within an agreed time frame.

Accounts receivable are shown in a balance sheet as an asset. It is one of a series of accounting transactions dealing with the billing of a customer for goods and services that the customer has ordered. These may be distinguished from notes receivable, which are debts created through formal legal instruments called promissory notes.

What is Accounts Receivable Management?

Key Benefits of Accounts Receivable

  • Accounts receivable is an asset account on the balance sheet that represents money due to a company in the short term.

  • Accounts receivables are created when a company lets a buyer purchase their goods or services on credit.

  • Accounts payable is similar to accounts receivable, but instead of money to be received, it’s money owed.

  • The strength of a company’s AR can be analyzed with the accounts receivable turnover ratio or days sales outstanding.

  • A turnover ratio analysis can be completed to expect when the AR will be received.

Difference Between Accounts Receivables vs. Accounts Payable

When a company owes debts to its suppliers or other parties, these are accounts payable. Accounts payable are the opposite of accounts receivable. To illustrate, imagine Company A cleaning Company B's carpets and sending a bill for the services. Company B owes them money, so it records the invoice in its accounts payable column. Company A is waiting to receive the money, so it records the bill in its accounts receivable column.
