Accrual Dues

Administrators can configure accrual billing to meet your association's needs, after minimal initial setup from our implementation team, who will work together with your organization to ensure this feature meets your needs. Using the Accrual Dues method over the Cash Billing method, the accounting impact of an order happens when your organization generates the membership renewals rather than recognition only occurring when the membership join or renewal is actually paid.  At the actual time of billing, the membership income will be recognized, along with AR and later, when the payment is received, the payment is applied against the outstanding AR balance.

If you are interested in moving from Cash Billing to Accrual Dues post-implementation, this feature will first need to be added to your organization by Nimble AMS Support.
