to meet their commitments.


Explanation:
"To reconcile their accounts" would be one way to say this in technical jargon, but it seems to me that this sentence is more along the lines of Marketing.

In that case, this is how you should translate it:

... as long as they continue to depend upon one sole client to meet their commitments.
