One of the most important parts of a business is the finance side. While other people can focus on the creative side, someone needs to take care of accounting. Someone needs to manage the books, so to speak. The last thing you want is to have all your accounts payable pile up. Nobody wants to deal with the IRS. A rule to remember in accounting is to have the IRS and accounts payable managed properly.

One thing the IRS and accounts payable have in common is that they are best avoided. Accounts payable should be kept at a minimum. Accounts receivable should be more than accounts payable. The less debt or payments a company has, the better. The trick is to balance accounts receivable and accounts payable.
