Three Focused Services
Accounting services built for subscription businesses
Each service addresses a specific layer of subscription accounting. Engage with one or combine them based on what your reporting currently needs.
Before You Choose
Three distinct accounting layers
The three services below address different parts of subscription accounting. Some businesses need all three. Others are managing certain areas well already and need help with a specific gap. The right starting point depends on where your reporting currently falls short — not on which package sounds most comprehensive.
If you're not sure which service fits your situation, the simplest approach is to reach out and describe what you're working with. A short conversation is usually enough to figure out where the work would actually help.
Monthly Investment
$700 / month
Fixed monthly fee — no hourly billing, no variable costs
Suitable for subscription companies with $100K–$10M in annual recurring revenue. Fixed scope reviewed and agreed at the start of the engagement.
Service 01 — Full-Service
SaaS & Subscription Business Accounting
Monthly accounting for subscription and SaaS businesses — covering the financial management that recurring revenue models require, including the reporting that standard bookkeeping typically doesn't produce.
What's covered
- —Monthly recurring revenue tracking with MRR movement analysis — new, expansion, contraction, and churn each period
- —Churn analysis by customer segment, cohort, or revenue band as applicable
- —Deferred revenue calculations and monthly schedule reconciliation
- —Revenue recognition in accordance with applicable standards
- —Standard financial statements — P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow — structured alongside subscription metrics
- —Key SaaS metrics included with each monthly report
- —Monthly journal entries and audit-ready supporting workpapers
Fits well when
- ·Your current accounting isn't built around how subscription revenue works
- ·You want financial statements and SaaS metrics from the same source, on the same schedule
- ·Your ARR is in the $100K–$10M range and the complexity of your contracts is growing
- ·You're preparing for a fundraise or due diligence process and need clean, reliable financials
Monthly Investment
$450 / month
Fixed monthly fee — scope defined per engagement
Designed for businesses with multi-period contracts or subscription arrangements where revenue recognition requires more than simple invoicing-based accounting.
Service 02 — Compliance-Focused
Revenue Recognition & Deferred Revenue
Management of revenue recognition schedules in accordance with applicable accounting standards, with a full deferred revenue roll-forward produced each period. For businesses where how revenue is recognized matters as much as how much revenue is generated.
What's covered
- —Contract analysis — review of each contract to identify distinct performance obligations and variable consideration
- —Performance obligation identification and transaction price allocation in accordance with applicable standards
- —Monthly journal entries allocating revenue to the appropriate periods
- —Deferred revenue roll-forward schedule — opening balance, additions, releases, and closing balance each month
- —Documentation of recognition rationale for audit and due diligence purposes
- —Contract modification treatment when terms change mid-subscription
Fits well when
- ·Your contracts span multiple periods and recognition isn't straightforward
- ·Your deferred revenue balance isn't being reconciled consistently each month
- ·You have bundled service offerings where the allocation between elements requires judgment
- ·You're preparing for an audit and want recognition documentation in order before it begins
Monthly Investment
$350 / month
Fixed monthly fee — consistent format and delivery each period
Suitable for any subscription business that needs a consistent, professionally formatted metrics summary for internal review, board meetings, or investor updates.
Service 03 — Reporting-Ready
SaaS Metrics Dashboard Preparation
Monthly preparation of a financial metrics summary covering the key performance indicators tracked by subscription businesses — in the format that boards, investors, and internal leadership actually use.
What's covered
- —Monthly recurring revenue — opening, new, expansion, contraction, churn, and closing MRR each period
- —Customer acquisition cost — calculated from marketing and sales spend against new customer additions
- —Lifetime value estimates based on average revenue per account and gross margin
- —Churn rates — gross revenue churn and net revenue churn tracked monthly
- —Gross margin by customer segment where segmentation data is available
- —Consistent monthly format suitable for board meetings and investor updates
- —Metric definitions documented and applied consistently each period
Fits well when
- ·Your SaaS metrics are being assembled manually each month from multiple tools
- ·The format of your metrics reporting isn't consistent period to period
- ·You need a polished, investor-ready metrics package without adding headcount to produce it
- ·Board meetings are coming up and the metrics you present need to be reliable and clearly formatted
Summary
All three services at a glance
Each service has a fixed monthly fee and a defined scope. You can engage with one service or combine them if your accounting needs span multiple areas.
All fees are in USD. Monthly engagement with defined scope reviewed at the start of each engagement.
Which Service
How to think about which one fits
"Our accounting doesn't really reflect how our revenue works."
If your general ledger is recording revenue in ways that don't match your subscription structure — recognition timing is off, deferred revenue isn't tracked separately, SaaS metrics come from a spreadsheet rather than the accounting — Service 01 is likely the right starting point.
"We have complex contracts and need recognition handled correctly."
If the core concern is specifically around revenue recognition compliance — contracts with multiple elements, variable consideration, or multi-year terms — and you want the recognition and deferred revenue maintained properly each month, Service 02 addresses that directly.
"Our financials are fine, but our metrics reporting isn't consistent."
If the accounting is in reasonable shape but the SaaS metrics package is assembled manually each month, inconsistent in format, or not ready for board meetings, Service 03 produces that deliverable on a fixed monthly basis.

We review your contracts, billing structure, and existing records. The engagement scope, deliverables, and monthly schedule are defined before any ongoing work begins.
Monthly Delivery
Reports, schedules, and metrics packages are delivered on the agreed date each month. The scope is clear, the timing is consistent, and the format doesn't change period to period.
