Build a finance function that keeps pace with the business.
Connect bookings, billings, collections, recurring revenue, deferred revenue, margin, cash, and forecast variance in a finance process management can use.
When this relationship may fit
Built for established operating companies that need a stronger finance process.
This service is designed for established privately held software, SaaS, and technology-enabled companies with paying customers, recurring subscription or contract activity, and an ongoing need for accounting, management reporting, and business-tax support.
The strongest fit is an operating company that needs a dependable close, reconciled revenue schedules, useful forecasts, and direct firm accountability around continuing finance and tax responsibilities.
If billing, deferred revenue, the close, and management reporting are under strain at the same time, an Accounting Operations Assessment can help determine whether the first priority is revenue schedules, close discipline, responsibilities, or management reporting.
Often a strong fit when
- The monthly close is delayed or requires recurring cleanup.
- Billing, contract, deferred-revenue, and accounting records do not consistently align.
- Management needs a dependable view of bookings, billings, collections, recurring revenue, deferred revenue, gross margin, cash, and forecast variance.
- The company needs controller-level oversight without replacing its leadership team.
- Multistate activity or product development has increased business-tax complexity.
- A lender, prospective investor, or potential buyer will expect organized financial information.

What management should be able to see
A recurring bridge from customer contracts to revenue, margin, cash, and forecast.
Bookings, billings, and collections
New and renewal bookings, invoicing, collections, receivables, and contract status connected and reconciled where the available systems and data support it.
Recurring and deferred revenue
Recurring revenue measures with documented definitions and a deferred-revenue bridge from the beginning balance through billings, recognition, adjustments, and the ending balance.
Margin and operating performance
Revenue, direct delivery, hosting and support costs, gross margin, operating expenses, and headcount compared with budget and prior periods.
Cash and forecast variance
Ending cash, near-term receipts and payments, budget and latest forecast, and clear explanations of material volume, timing, margin, or spending variances.
When recurring revenue outgrows the close
Connect recurring revenue to the close.
Billing data outside the ledger and manual deferred-revenue schedules can slow the close. Reconciled revenue reporting and an aligned tax calendar help management prepare for lender or buyer discussions.
How should SaaS companies connect billing, revenue, cash, and reporting?

Read the SaaS accounting guideQuestions technology operators ask before changing the finance process
Can you work with our current accounting, billing, and subscription systems?
Yes. We begin with the current team, systems, integrations, and source data. We assess whether they can support the agreed close and reporting process before recommending any change, and any transition work is separately scoped.
Can you help with deferred revenue, ASC 606, and recurring-revenue measures?
We can organize contract, billing, and revenue data, maintain management schedules, and document the definitions used for recurring-revenue measures. Company management remains responsible for contract interpretation, accounting policies, judgments, metrics, and financial statements. A separate CPA firm performs any required external financial-statement audit.
Do you raise capital or administer the cap table?
No. We do not raise capital, solicit investors, provide securities or legal advice, negotiate financing, or administer the cap table. We can prepare agreed management reporting and organize accounting and tax information for company leadership and outside advisers.
