Subscription billing systems are not something you change UNTIL your scale demands it. As your SaaS company grows in size or complexity, you reach a point where manual processes drain your productivity, and you struggle to analyze your growing range of financial and operating data. At this
point, you need a system that leverages the latest technology advancements.
At a minimum, a modern billing and accounting system for SaaS, Software, or Technology companies should automate and streamline core financial management functions such as Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, and the financial close. But you can hardly fuel your growth and need for accountability and transparency by simply automating the minimum. SaaS firms, in particular, have revenue recognition, subscription billing, and SaaS and GAAP investor reporting needs that require specialized functionality in their financial management systems.
