Using QuickBooks Accounting and Financial Reports

For many businesses, Quickbooks is pivotal for accounting needs. The QuickBooks Customers & Receivables Reports give you more insight into your customer relationships and billing information. You can run reports to view amounts due from customers, open invoices, average days to pay and many other reports in the Customers & Receivables Reports section.

These reports are most useful for following up with your customers who have outstanding balances so that you can ensure that you collect payments. You can also use the information for cash flow planning purposes, as the reports estimate how much and how long it will take your customers to pay any amounts they owe to you. Here is a list of possible QuickBooks Customers & Receivables Reports.
