Service revenue is considered a temporary account. Temporary accounts, also known as nominal accounts, are used to track financial activity over a specific period and are reset to zero at the end of that period during the closing process. In contrast, permanent accounts, such as assets and liabilities, carry their balances into the next accounting period. Thus, service revenue reflects income earned within a given timeframe but does not retain its balance indefinitely.
