Q. What Is Actual And Accrued Revenue?
Revenue colleced from services rendered can be described in two ways:
- actual revenue: revenue that comes into your business via payments from clients
- accrued revenue: revenue that comes into your business via saved or missed sessions.
Depending on your payment scheme (pay in advance, point of sale, pay later), your actual revenue may differ from your accrued revenue. The most important aspect of these revenues is to realize accrued revenue may not be secured. Accrued revenue is a good way to understand how much revenue your business may be generating at a given time. Only actual revenue represents revenue that you have collected.
Q. What Is The Difference Between Hourly And Salary Wages?

- Hourly Wages: wages that are paid out to practitioners based on saved or missed sessions. The practitioner is paid for their time based on the start and end time of the session. Practitioners are not paid for any other incidental work that may have taken place before or after the session.
- Salary Wages: these wages are paid to practitioners or staff based on information taken from timesheets. Timesheets are available for the Enterprise Plan only. Employees who use timesheets can be paid hourly salary or annual salary.
