Accounting for SaaS and technology companies

Quick answer

For SaaS and technology clients we maintain deferred revenue schedules, reconcile subscription billing and payment processors, track capitalised software and prepaid contracts, and report MRR, ARR and burn alongside the financial statements. Revenue recognition judgements stay with your firm or the company's finance lead.

What we handle

  • Deferred revenue waterfalls for annual and multi-year contracts.
  • Billing and payment reconciliations between your billing tool, the processor and the bank.
  • Prepaid software and contracts amortised monthly.
  • Capitalised development costs, where your policy capitalises them, tracked and amortised.
  • Investor metrics: MRR, ARR, churn and burn alongside the monthly pack.

Frequently asked questions

Can you reconcile Stripe or other payment processors?
Yes. We reconcile Stripe, PayPal and other gateway payouts to gross sales, fees, refunds and chargebacks, so revenue and fees are recorded gross and the clearing account clears every month.
Do you apply ASC 606?
We prepare schedules that follow the revenue recognition policy your firm or the company has set under ASC 606, such as deferred revenue waterfalls. Policy decisions and judgements stay with you.
