# Definition

<div class="rp-definition">Accounts in Recurly represent individual subscribers and serve as the single source of truth for all their associated data — subscriptions, invoices, transactions, billing addresses, shipping addresses, and payment methods. Every interaction a subscriber has with your business flows through their account record.</div>

### Dates and times

Recurly records all transactions in **UTC** as the underlying billing timezone. Any dates or times shown on Accounts are automatically converted from UTC to the local time specified in your site settings.
