<p class="text-white text-opacity-70 text-xl mb-12 max-w-4xl">Cash basis accounting simplifies tracking by only recording transactions when cash enters or exits your business, regardless of when they're earned or billed. It's commonly used by individuals and small businesses with straightforward cash flows. While it offers simplicity and clarity regarding available cash, it may not provide a complete picture of business health or growth opportunities.</p>
<h2 class="text-white text-4xl font-bold mb-6">What is cash basis accounting?</h2>
<p class="text-white text-opacity-70 text-xl mb-12 max-w-4xl">Cash basis accounting is when you only record transactions when the money enters or leaves your business, even if they were earned or billed earlier.</p>
<h2 class="text-white text-4xl font-bold mb-6">How does cash accounting work?</h2>
<p class="text-white text-opacity-70 text-xl mb-6 max-w-4xl">Cash basis accounting is a simple way to track the cash that’s flowing in and out of your business.</p>
<p class="text-white text-opacity-70 text-xl mb-6 max-w-4xl">Here are a few examples of what it can look like:</p>
<ul class="list-disc pl-6 flex flex-col gap-6 mb-12">
<li class="text-white text-opacity-70 text-xl max-w-3xl">With cash basis accounting, you record payments for products as they're received, not beforehand, even with flexible payment options like installment plans for your online shop.</li>
<li class="text-white text-opacity-70 text-xl max-w-3xl">If customers pay with credit cards, revenue isn't recorded immediately but when the payment is received from the credit card company.</li>
<li class="text-white text-opacity-70 text-xl max-w-3xl">You’re a graphic designer who spends a week in April creating a brochure for a local gallery. You submit an invoice of net 30, which means that the gallery is paying you in May. With cash basis accounting, you’d recognize that income in May when you receive the payment rather than in April, when you did the work.</li>
<li class="text-white text-opacity-70 text-xl max-w-3xl">In cash basis accounting for your online clothing shop, sales are only recorded when payment is received via debit or cash, not credit.</li>
