Let’s be honest—there’s a lot to grumble about in Accounts Receivable, payments, and the ever-increasing, ever-changing world of transaction fees. But ACH payments? They’re the unsung hero of the bookkeeping world. Here’s why I’m not just tolerating them—I’m loving them.

  1. Automatic Payments = Shorter AR Days

Set it and forget it! With ACH, clients can automate payments, which means you get paid faster. That’s a win for your small business bookkeeping and your sanity. 

  1. Lower Fees, Bigger Smiles

ACH fees are significantly lower than credit card processing. That means more money stays in your pocket—whether you're running a non-profit or a small business. 

  1. Speedy Reception

ACH payments typically land in your account within 1–2 business days. That’s practically warp speed in accounting small business terms. 

  1. Convenience is King

No more chasing checks or deciphering handwriting. ACH is clean, digital, and efficient—just like your dream bookkeeping service. 

  1. Fewer Errors, Less Stress

ACH reduces manual entry, which means fewer mistakes. And fewer mistakes mean fewer headaches for you and your QuickBooks small business practitioner.
