FAQs
Accounts Receivable (AR) reconciliation is the process of matching your company's records of money owed by customers (invoices, credit notes, payments) against customer statements and bank receipts. It's crucial because it ensures that all sales are properly recorded, payments are correctly applied, and you have an accurate picture of your outstanding customer balances. This directly impacts your cash flow, revenue reporting, and ability to collect dues efficiently.
The ideal frequency depends on your sales volume and the number of customers you have. For most businesses, monthly reconciliation is highly recommended to promptly identify and resolve issues, accelerating collections. For businesses with very high transaction volumes, more frequent (e.g., weekly) reconciliation might be beneficial. Eaztaxbiz can assess your needs and recommend the best schedule.
Eaztaxbiz can identify various discrepancies, including: customer payments received but not yet applied to specific invoices, short or overpayments by customers, payments reflected in your bank account but not in your AR ledger, invoices disputed by customers, incorrect application of credit notes, and unrecorded sales returns or discounts. Our thorough process aims to uncover all mismatches.
When discrepancies are found, our team at Eaztaxbiz will investigate the root cause. This often involves cross-referencing with sales orders, delivery proofs, bank statements, and payment details. With your authorization, we can also facilitate communication with your customers to clarify the issue and ensure the correct resolution, leading to accurate accounts and improved customer relations
