Mostly self-explanatory

Some considerations:

the payment fro mthe customer in advance is considered a liability. That's because now, the company has the obligation to do the landscaping services. The customer can force the company to make them as they are already paid. Second, as accounting works with an accrued basis the job is not done thus, not accrued and we cannot consider this a realized revenue
