Many business owners\u2019 think that Square will take care of their business needs. This is true, but only to a point. Square does a great job recording money coming in and giving you summaries related to those sales.<\/p>\n
It gives you reports like \u2013<\/p>\n
Beware! This can be misleading. Square cannot help you account for accounts receivable and accounts payable. But why should this matter?<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s say you have a client who wants to go on a payment plan and you only have Square. This means that you\u2019ll have to track the payments using another system possibly by paper, excel, or some other software. This can cause problems for your business because you will not be able to run Accounts Receivable Reports and more specifically Aging Reports. Accounts Receivable (A.K.A. A\/R) Reports such as the A\/R Aging Report can tell you how long that bill is past due on your customers\u2019 accounts- such as Current, 30 Days, 60 Days, etc.<\/p>\n
Knowing this can help you keep your cash flow running smoothly. You\u2019ll find out which customers you\u2019ll take partial payments from and who you\u2019ll want to have pay in full. Not to mention, this report can also help you determine who needs to go to collections.<\/p>\n
As for your accounts payable, you will not be able to see who you owe at any given time, nor will you have a system in place to help you pay all your bills in a timely manner. This is where you\u2019ll have to either record it on paper or use some other software. You could also just hope you didn\u2019t misplace any bills on your cluttered desk. Accounts Payable is important, it helps you see when bills are due and can help streamline your check writing. Accounts Payable also has Aging Reports. This helps you know what your current and past due bills are at any given time.<\/p>\n
As you can see, these two kinds of reporting are essential to grow your business. They can help you figure out what customers you want to serve and how you can best serve them. They also help you keep track of your bills even during those busy months.<\/p>\n
