Notes
- This tool is not financial advice and does not guarantee results.
- AR balance going down is good if it means you are collecting more. However, it might also indicate a lack of sales. Conversely, an increasing AR balance might indicate increasing sales or fewer collections.
- A declining AP balance generally indicates fewer debts.
