If you’re DIYing your books, you likely don’t know when to use accrual vs. cash basis accounting. 

This is one of the red flags we see when new clients start working with us. 

Most sole proprietorships, single-member LLCs, and S-corps are using cash basis accounting because it’s simple — it’s the cash you’ve collected. 

But if you are ready to scale your business, you need to understand and use accrual accounting, which is going to allow you to know when (and how much) you can invest in additional expenses and how to maintain a cash-healthy business so you never find yourself unable to pay yourself or your bills. 

Tune into this episode to learn the differences between accrual vs. cash basis accounting, when to use each one, and how understanding accrual accounting is going to make it more sustainable for you to scale.
