Receivables are money customers owe you. Payables are money you owe vendors, suppliers, or creditors. Confusing the two — or ignoring them — is one of the top reasons small businesses run out of cash.
When you deliver work or sell on credit, you create a receivable. Until the customer pays, that money is part of your financial picture but not in your bank account. Tracking receivables ensures you follow up and get paid on time.
Bills, vendor invoices, and supplier payments are payables. Knowing what's due and when prevents late fees and helps you plan cash outflows accurately.
HisabDost's receivables and payables features give shop owners, agencies, and consultants full visibility. See outstanding balances, due dates, and partial payments — without spreadsheets or expensive small business accounting software.
