Accounting Techniques for Factored Receivables


Okay. So, I have decided to factor my receivables to improve my cashflow and working capital position, but my CFO/controller is grilling me about how to account for factored receivables and the funds collected...what do I do?!

There are numerous ways that ledger entries may be made to account for the transactions, funds advanced, and reserves. It is incumbent upon the business owner to seek counsel and tax advice on the best manner to account for these entries. Generally, the business owner is able to successfully maintain a stronger balance sheet when using factoring versus taking on additional debt or equity partners.

Should you so desire, please contact me directly for a guide on how to account for factored receivables. My contact information is available at the top, right of this website.
