Apple paid me in one month but the financial report seems to point to Apple's fiscal month. Which month should I book?
I live in Thailand and my LLC gets most revenue from the App Store. When I compare the bank deposit to the App Store Connect financial report, the dates do not line up with a simple calendar-month view. My bookkeeper wants everything assigned by bank receipt date, but I suspect Apple is using its own reporting cycle.
I am trying to avoid a fight between cash timing and platform reports. What do founders usually use when Apple's reports and the deposit date seem to belong to different monthly buckets?
