Strategic Finance & Accounting for SaaS Startups
MRR, net revenue retention, burn, and runway reported alongside the monthly financials. Deferred revenue recognized under ASC 606. Board reporting and the books come from the same set of records.
Why Standard Accounting Firms Fail SaaS & Tech Businesses
Generic accountants treat all businesses the same. Here is how TallyWise is built specifically for your industry's nuances.
Revenue Recognition
Booking a $12k annual upfront payment as revenue in month one.
ASC 606 compliant deferred revenue schedules, recognizing $1k per month.
Metric Tracking
Relying on Stripe dashboard for MRR, which doesn't match the accounting ledger.
SaaS metrics (MRR, ARR, NRR, Churn) perfectly reconciled with the general ledger.
Cash Management
Looking at the bank balance and hoping it lasts until the next funding round.
Rolling runway forecasts and strict burn rate monitoring presented to the board.
Tax Optimization
Missing out on massive tax credits because the CPA didn't understand software dev.
Maximizing R&D tax credits to offset payroll taxes for pre-profit startups.
