Still have questions?
Everything you need to know about managed revenue recognition
When should we start tracking deferred revenue?
Before your first institutional raise. The earlier recognition is managed correctly, the less historical cleanup is needed when investors or auditors ask for it
How does this work with Stripe or Chargebee?
Your controller pulls contract and invoice data directly from your billing platform every close cycle and reconciles it to your general ledger. Nothing gets replaced
What happens if our revenue has been recognized incorrectly?
Your CFO scopes a one-time historical restatement before the ongoing engagement begins. AI processes past transactions and your controller validates every correction
Can you handle contract modifications mid-term?
Yes. Upgrades, downgrades, renewals, and cancellations are processed the month they happen with the correct accounting treatment applied and documented
What if we are not sure our current recognition is correct?
Start with a recognition review. Your CFO assesses your current treatment across all active contracts and identifies any gaps before the engagement begins
Do we need software like Maxio or Zuora, or does Fintera replace that?
Fintera replaces the need for separate recognition software. Your CFO and controller handle recognition as part of the managed engagement using your existing billing platform and ledger
