Reports
Speed up and simplify book closing
Access real-time journal entries and reports, with the ability to compare financial positions across any time period – and seamlessly export to your accounting systems and general ledger.
We’re moving everything to Stripe, so all of this complex work will disappear. Before Stripe, closing our books meant checking each contract manually and pasting them into an Excel file with a very complicated formula. We can’t be done with that soon enough.
Automatically recognising revenue with Stripe gives me peace of mind because the data is accurate. Stripe does all the calculations of deferred revenue, plus I can use transaction overrides to make historical updates.
I can’t emphasise enough how important it is that Stripe offers a revenue recognition product built-in. It saves us days at our monthly close and frees up our accounting teams to focus on more value-added activities.
We need to reconcile all kinds of payments – monthly, up-front, and even per container. There’s no room for error as we need to be GAAP compliant. With Stripe, revenue recognition is built in and automated.
