Client / Customer

A person or business that buys from you. Client records tie together invoices, payments, and revenue history.

A client is whoever buys what you sell. In your books, the client record links every invoice, payment, and outstanding balance to one identity.

Knowing revenue per client — and how promptly each one pays — informs who to nurture, who to re-price, and whose terms to tighten.
