Ever looked at a healthy profit figure and then at your bank balance and wondered how both can be true?
It nearly always comes down to timing. Profit is counted when you send the invoice, but the cash only arrives when your client pays, and that can be weeks later, while wages go out on the same day every month.
Xero's Aged Receivables report shows who owes you what and for how long. We go through it with our clients so they know which invoices to chase first and when the money is likely to land.
If the two numbers are not adding up for you, send us a message and we will take a look.
