I hope no one from our accounting office hears about this. Just like Vicki Burgess, we do prepay a few invoices at the end of the fiscal year. We've got it down to 9, and they are either memberships or databases that we have to prepay to keep access.
We did used to have a few objections to paying in May or June for a July-June subscription period. The accounting department did not seem to understand paying a subscription before the start date. We have actually "moved" many of our subscriptions so they run late summer/fall or early spring so we don't have invoices at year end or beginning. But we still have many invoices that run calendar year.
This would be a nightmare.
