Revenue Recognition (ASC 606 / IFRS 15)

Overview

What we deliver

We design revenue policies, evaluate contracts, and produce auditable revenue schedules under ASC 606 and IFRS 15.

We help finance teams apply ASC 606 and IFRS 15 to multi-element arrangements, subscription models, usage-based pricing, and long-term contracts. Our work starts with a contract review to identify performance obligations, allocate transaction prices, and document standalone selling prices. We build revenue waterfalls, deferred revenue rollforwards, and contract asset and liability schedules that tie to the general ledger. We document policies, journal entries, and disclosures to support external audits and SEC reporting where applicable. For UK FRS reporters, we map differences and supply parallel schedules. We coordinate with billing, CRM, and ERP teams so contract data flows cleanly into revenue close. We also train controllers and revenue accountants on judgments around variable consideration, modifications, and principal versus agent assessments so the policy holds up over time.

Client stories

What clients say

"

We had been prototyping an AI quoting agent for nine months and could not get it past demo quality. They came in, scoped a real eval set, swapped our retrieval layer, and added guardrails for the edge cases that kept burning us. Went live in seven weeks. It now handles 41 percent of inbound quote requests without a human touching them.

My books were 90 days behind and I was avoiding my accountant. They cleaned up nine months of mis-categorized Shopify and Stripe entries, set up proper rules in QuickBooks, and now my close lands on day four of every month. First time in three years I opened a P&L without wincing. Cash forecasting actually makes sense now.
