The Problem

ASC 606 compliance is complex — SaaS companies with annual contracts must recognize revenue monthly. Deferred revenue calculations in Excel take 20+ hours per month-end close. Audit failures on rev rec cost $50K–$200K in remediation. Enterprise solutions like RevPro cost $100K+/yr.

The Solution

Revenue recognition engine that connects to billing systems (Stripe, Chargebee), automatically calculates deferred and recognized revenue per ASC 606/IFRS 15, generates journal entries, and produces audit-ready reports.

Target Audience

SaaS companies with $1M–$50M ARR preparing for audit or IPO, finance teams manually calculating deferred revenue in spreadsheets, and companies transitioning from cash-basis to accrual accounting
