Understanding The Difference: Accrual vs Cash Basis Accounting
Learn how each method impacts your financial reporting and decision-making:
Cash Basis Bookkeeping
Records income and expenses when money actually received or paid —ideal for very small businesses or simple cash‑flow focused operations.
Accrual Basis Bookkeeping
Records income and expenses when they’re earned or incurred, not just when cash moves—providing a more complete, investor-friendly, GAAP‑compliant, and accurate picture of your business’s financial health.
Hybrid Approaches

Cash-basis bookkeeping records transactions when money changes hands, while accrual-basis records income and expenses when they’re earned or incurred. For high growth $1M+ service-based businesses, accrual is often recommended because it gives a more accurate picture of profitability and is required by investors and lenders. However, we help you choose the right method and keep your books clean, compliant, and audit-ready.
