Industry Specialty: SaaS & Tech

SaaS Bookkeeping That Actually
Understands MRR.

Stop using generalist CPAs who treat Stripe payouts as single lines. We build ASC 606 compliant, investor-grade books for scaling software companies.

The Accounting Trap

Why SaaS breaks normal bookkeepers.

SaaS isn't traditional retail. If your bookkeeper doesn't understand deferred revenue, capitalized software, or Stripe fee separation, your P&L is fundamentally wrong.

A Standard CPA Will...

  • Book a $120k annual upfront subscription as 100% revenue in Month 1, artificially inflating your profit.
  • Record a Stripe payout as one lump sum. They miss the hidden processing fees, failed charges, and refunds.
  • Lump AWS, Twilio, and Marketing spend into generic "Software" buckets, making it impossible to calculate Gross Margin.
  • Expense all developer salaries immediately, failing to capitalize R&D as required by modern tax codes.

Qepex SaaS Books Will...

  • Manage deferred revenue schedules (ASC 606), recognizing that $120k properly as $10k/month MRR.
  • Reconcile clearing accounts. We match individual Stripe/Chargebee invoices to exact bank deposits and isolate the fees.
  • Build a SaaS-native Chart of Accounts. We split COGS (Hosting, Customer Success) from OpEx (Sales, G&A, R&D).
  • Produce clean, VDR-ready financials so you sail through Series A or Series B due diligence.

SaaS Finance Suite

Our complete accounting infrastructure designed specifically for MRR-driven software businesses.

A. Revenue Recognition & ASC 606

Deferred Revenue Schedules

We maintain strict waterfalls for your annual/quarterly contracts. Cash received upfront is held in liability accounts and recognized gracefully over the life of the contract, keeping your MRR accurate.

Deliverable

Monthly Deferred Revenue Roll-forward Schedule.

Stripe & Payment Gateway Reconciliation

We don't just log the net payout. We use clearing accounts to map every gross sale, deduct the exact processing fee to an expense account, and record the exact cash deposit.

B. COGS & True Gross Margin

SaaS Chart of Accounts (COA)

We map your expenses directly into SaaS categories. Hosting (AWS/GCP), Customer Success payroll, and software licenses used for delivery go into Cost of Goods Sold. Marketing and Sales go below the line.

Outcome

You finally know your real SaaS Gross Margin percentage.

C. R&D Capitalization

Internal-Use Software Capitalization

To comply with Section 174 and ASC 350-40, you cannot expense all engineering salaries immediately. We help you track dev time and move qualifying build costs onto your balance sheet as assets to be amortized.

D. The Month-End Close

Strict 7-Day Close Cycle

We run a disciplined close. Bank reconciliations, accruals, payroll mapping, and depreciation entries are locked down. You receive a clean Financial Reporting Pack by Day 7.
