Notes

  1. This tool is not financial advice and does not guarantee results.
  2. 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.
  3. A declining AP balance generally indicates fewer debts.
