Alsup Consulting sometimes performs services for which it receives payment at the conclusion of the engagement, up to six months after services commence. Alsup recognizes service revenue for financial reporting purposes when the services are performed. For tax purposes, revenue is reported when fees are collected. Service revenue, collections, and pretax accounting income for 2017-2020 are as follows:

 

                           Service Revenue                       Collections                          Pretax Accounting Income

2017                             $ 674,000                            $ 644,000                                             $ 210,000

2018                                770,000                               785,000                                               275,000

2019                                735,000                               710,000                                              245,000
