    There should not be any complications.
    You just maintain the continuity procedure.
    The periodic principle is for convenience only,
    It should not interfere with your standard
    Practice.
    Make sure that you control tightly all amounts owing.
    The best way here is to bridge every month
    To the previous one.
    This can easily be maintained by a series
    Of EXCEL spreadsheets.
