If I have a 1099-MISC for 2017, but a portion was not received until 2018 do I include the total amount on 1099-MISC, or amount received by end of business on 12/31/2017?

I operate with the cash accrual basis.  This client had paid me to do work throughout the 2017 calendar year.  I had one final check issued by my client in 2017, but I did not receive it in time to get it into the bank until 2018 .  So the 1099-MISC issued to me by the client is correct for their purposes, but shows I collected more money in 2017 then I actually did.  How do I reconcile this on my taxes for 2017?
