If you are an accountant being dragged into USDC receivables, your risk is not private keys. It is an incomplete register: amounts without hashes, hashes without invoices, invoices without rate locks.
Ask the operator for
- Unique address per invoice
- Immutable paid timestamp after finality
- Fiat quote vs crypto received, both stored
- Who could have swept the funds (if anyone besides the client)
If the vendor held funds, you now have counterparty risk in the P&L story. Write it down.
Not tax advice. Settlematic Collect is watch-only invoicing for the teams who issue the invoices. Canonical: crypto invoicing for accountants. settlematic.com
