Cash vs. Accrual in 60 Seconds
When you start a business, one of the first and most critical decisions you make is choosing your accounting method. This choice determines when you officially report your income and expenses, and if you get it wrong, it can create unnecessary complexity. The central conflict is between the intuitive method (Cash) and the formal method (Accrual).
The Cash Method is the more intuitive of the two , as it’s based on the actual flow of money in and out of your business account. The Accrual Method, on the other hand, is based on when the income is earned or the expense is incurred, regardless of when the cash changes hands. A sound strategy requires choosing the method that clearly shows your income. For many, the right choice transforms confusion into simple clarity.
