Let’s say you just finished a week at your job, but payday isn’t until next Friday. You earned the money—but it’s not in your bank account yet.
That gap? Accountants have a name for it: an accrual.
Accruals help businesses track money that’s on the way—whether it’s paying employees, sending invoices or even holding onto unused gift card balances (yep, that’s a thing).
It’s not just “counting stuff.” Accruals take strategy, curiosity and big-picture thinking—skills you might already have.
