I'm here to provide some information about the difference between cash and accrual basis in reports in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
Running the Cash method in the report counts income or expenses once you get a payment or pay a bill. If you sent an invoice or got a bill, but the money hasn’t changed hands yet, your report doesn’t include it in your income or expenses.
On the other hand, the Accrual method counts income and expenses regardless of whether an invoice or bill was paid or not. It also includes income and expenses, even if the money hasn’t changed hands yet.
Additionally, I'm adding some resources that you can check out to learn more about how you can personalize and memorize your reports in QBO seamlessly:
