Accounts Receivable Cycle

The full cycle of accounts receivable starts at the sale and delivery of a product and/or service to a customer. It ends when that customer is invoiced and pays the amount owed. Everything in between is important in the process of ensuring you get paid, on time, with a healthy inflow of cash.

Disbursement vs Reimbursement

In general, the difference between a payment and disbursement is that one is the instance or process of disbursing while the other is the act of paying. From the VAT point of view, the two systems are significantly different. That’s because payments are subject to VAT, while disbursements are not.

Small Business Accounting Software

Small business accounting software helps an AP department reduce the time spent on manual data entry through integration and automation technologies. A business syncs bank accounts, credit cards, and other third-party apps with the software. The data is then processed according to custom settings.

B2B Payment Solutions

Business to business (B2B payments) are the transactions/payments made between two companies. These differ from other payment types that include P2P (person to person) and (B2C) business to customer. That’s because additional processes in place make them more complex.

Outward Remittance

An outward remittance (aka wire transfer outward remittance) is the process of transferring money (in the form of foreign exchange) from a worker or business, to another country. Incredibly, money transferred this way is now on par with the amount given in financial aid to some countries. 

Procurement vs Purchasing

Procurement is all about long-term goals that contribute to achieving strategic outcomes and competitive advantage. Purchasing has short-term goals. The purpose of purchasing is to arrange business spending and acquire a specific resource.
