Accounts Receivable
Money owed to the business, recorded and followed up properly.
Restaurants, bars and other UK businesses often have deposits, events, trade accounts and unallocated card or platform receipts sitting beside till sales. We help you raise, match and monitor receivables so outstanding money is visible rather than forgotten.
The pressure point
Untracked invoices and uncleared deposits hide the true cash position.
- 01Event or trade invoices sitting unpaid without a clear chase process
- 02Deposits taken on the till that never appear as income or a liability
- 03Delivery-platform payouts that do not match the sales they relate to
- 04Customer statements that do not agree to the ledger
- 05Cash appearing healthy until outstanding invoices are looked at
Included
What accounts receivable support includes
Each engagement is scoped to the restaurant or bar. The items below are the core of the service; we will tell you plainly if something sits outside it.
- Sales invoice processing
Invoices raised or posted so income sits in the right period and account.
- Receipt matching
Bank and platform receipts matched to invoices, deposits and till sales.
- Aged receivables
A clear view of what is outstanding, overdue and worth following up.
- Customer account queries
Statements and queries prepared so you can speak to the customer with the facts.
- Receivables reporting
Visibility of what is due in, alongside the rest of the cash picture.
How it works
A clear process, without unnecessary steps.
We map how sales currently arrive
Till, invoice, deposit, platform and bank are brought into one process.
We post and match on an agreed cycle
Invoices and receipts are kept current rather than reconstructed at month-end.
You see what is still owed
You stay in control of chasing customers. We make sure the records are complete.
Benefits
What this changes in the business.
- Fewer unallocated receipts and forgotten deposits
- A clearer view of cash that is still to come in
- Income captured in time for VAT and management accounts
- Less time spent reconstructing who has paid
Who it is for
Restaurants, bars, catering businesses and other UK companies that invoice customers, take deposits or receive platform payouts alongside till sales.
F&B example
How this looks in a restaurant or bar.
Events, deposits, trade accounts and platform payouts need matching so outstanding money is visible beside till sales.
Systems supported
Quality-control and review
Work is prepared, reviewed and only then released. Senior review is part of the process for accounts, VAT, payroll and tax filings. You approve statutory and tax submissions before they go to Companies House or HMRC.

Questions
Accounts Receivable — frequently asked.
You remain the relationship with the customer unless a specific arrangement is agreed. Our role is to keep invoices, receipts and balances accurate so you can follow up with a clear picture.
Yes. Platform sales and payouts can be recorded and matched as part of receivables and bookkeeping.
Accounts receivable sits inside the wider books. It can be a focused piece of work where invoicing is the pressure point, or part of a complete finance function.
