Is your SaaS growth outpacing your financial clarity

When subscriptions scale fast, messy books scale faster. If any of these feel familiar, you’re not alone.

The subscription trap

In SaaS, cash collected isn’t always revenue earned. Without clean deferred revenue tracking, it’s easy to overspend and misread performance.

The metrics gap

If your books can’t clearly support MRR, ARR, churn, CAC, LTV, and burn, you’re making decisions with blurred vision.

The tax headache

Selling across states can trigger sales tax nexus thresholds. Waiting until “later” is how founders get surprised.

You built software to solve a problem. Let us solve the problem of financial chaos so you can lead with confidence.

  • Proper treatment of deferred revenue
  • Clear handling of monthly/annual plans, coupons, trials, prorations

Result: accurate financials you can trust without accidental overspending.

Metric tracking and KPI dashboards that founders actually use

We help you track what matters and explain what it means.

Common questions about SaaS bookkeeping

Why can’t I just use standard cash-basis bookkeeping

Cash-basis can hide what’s truly happens in SaaS because subscriptions often involve delay revenue. Accrual-based reporting help you to match revenue to the period is earned, giving more accurate view of performance. 

Do you help with sales tax nexus

Yes. We help you monitor thresholds, flag risk early and keep your records arranged for compliance. When needed, we coordinate with your CPA or tax specialist.

What is delay revenue

Delay revenue is money you’ve collected but haven’t earned yet. It’s critical in SaaS because annual plans, prepaid subscriptions and upgrades must be recognized over time not all at once.

Will you work with my CPA

Absolutely. We prepare your books, so your CPA can file efficiently and confidently and we’ll collaborate to keep everything aligned.

FAQ’s

What is SaaS bookkeeping?

SaaS bookkeeping is recording and arranging a subscription company’s finances tracking subscription revenue (including deferred revenue), expenses and key metrics like MRR/ARR so your books stay accurate and investor-ready.

The way that SaaS is accounted for is based on accrual accounting and ASC 606 (Revenue Recognition) rules. The money is counted when the service is delivered, not when the cash is received.  Payments for yearly or prepaid plans are called “delay revenue” and are counted once a month for the length of the subscription.

Some common problems with SaaS accounting are recognizing revenue (ASC 606) and deferred revenue, messy billing, proration, and refunds, accurate tracking of MRR/ARR, churn, CAC, and LTV, classifying COGS vs. keeping investors’ money safe by always reporting accruals, dealing with problems with multiple payment processors (like Stripe and PayPal), figuring out how to handle sales tax and VAT in different areas and pays for things like rent and utilities.

The SaaS model of accounting is subscription-focused accrual accounting: you recognize revenue over time as the service is delivered (ASC 606), track prepaid amounts as delay revenue, and report SaaS KPIs like MRR/ARR, churn and CAC/LTV next standard financial statements.
