A bank reconciliation service compares the transactions in your accounting software with the transactions on your bank and credit-card statements and explains every difference. The goal is a ledger balance that agrees with the statement after timing items such as outstanding checks and deposits in transit. Done monthly, it catches missing entries, duplicates, bank errors and fraud early. ## What we handle for SaaS companies and venture-backed startups - Reconcile operating, sweep, payroll and card accounts weekly - Match Stripe, PayPal and Braintree payouts to charges, fees and refunds - Apply enterprise wires to invoices net of bank charges - Record treasury transfers, money-market interest and venture debt draws correctly - Keep every processor clearing account at zero at each close ## The KPI that matters here Zero unreconciled items older than 30 days across every bank, card and processor account. ## SaaS compliance notes ### ASC 606 and IFRS 15 revenue recognition Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied: subscriptions ratably over the term, usage as consumed, implementation fees over the period your accountant determines, and multi-element contracts allocated on standalone selling prices. We apply the policy your CPA or auditor sets and document the judgment for each contract type. Investors and acquirers expect this from the first institutional round. ### Deferred revenue and contract liabilities Cash collected ahead of service is a contract liability, not income, and the balance must roll forward every month: opening, billings, revenue recognized, closing. We maintain that schedule by customer and contract and tie it to the balance sheet and to the billing system, which is the first thing a diligence team tests. ### Sales tax, VAT and GST on software SaaS is taxable in a large share of US states and subject to VAT or GST on digital services in the UK, EU, Canada and Australia, each with its own registration threshold. We track taxable sales by jurisdiction, configure Stripe Tax, Avalara or TaxJar where you use them, and prepare filing workpapers for your tax adviser. We do not provide tax advice or file returns; your adviser or registered agent does. ### SaaS metrics and investor reporting MRR, ARR, gross and net churn, net revenue retention, CAC payback and burn multiple are reported from reconciled billing and ledger data with definitions documented. Board decks, lender covenant reports and data-room packs use the same figures as the monthly close, so nothing needs restating at the next round. ## SaaS software we work in - [QuickBooks Online](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/quickbooks-online/) - [Xero](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/xero/) - [Stripe](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/stripe/) - [Brex](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/brex/) - [Ramp](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/ramp/) - [Gusto](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/gusto/) - [NetSuite](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/netsuite/) - [Sage Intacct](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/sage-intacct/) - [Avalara](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/avalara/) - Chargebee - Recurly - Maxio - [All 50 platforms](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/) ## More for SaaS companies and venture-backed startups Other services for saas - [Bookkeeping](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/saas/bookkeeping/) - [Invoicing and billing](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/saas/invoicing-and-billing/) - [Accounts receivable](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/saas/accounts-receivable/) - [Accounts payable](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/saas/accounts-payable/) - [Month-end close](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/saas/month-end-close/) - [Financial reporting](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/saas/financial-reporting/) - [All saas services](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/saas/) Bank reconciliation in other industries - [Marketing agencies & consultancies](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/agencies/bank-reconciliation/) - [Auto repair shops & dealerships](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/auto/bank-reconciliation/) - [Behavioral health practices](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/behavioral-health/bank-reconciliation/) - [Daycares, schools & education](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/childcare-education/bank-reconciliation/) - [The full bank reconciliation page](https://ledgerbpo.com/services/bank-reconciliation/) ## Frequently asked questions ### How do you reconcile daily Stripe payouts with hundreds of charges? The Stripe payout report lists every charge, fee, refund and dispute in each payout, and our ReconBot workflow imports it, applies charges to invoices, posts fees and matches the net to the bank line. Reconciling at the payout level clears the bank exactly without a plug. High volume does not change the method, only the automation. ### How are venture debt draws and treasury accounts recorded? A debt draw is recorded as a liability with the facility fee and any warrant treatment as your CPA directs, and interest is accrued monthly. Transfers to a sweep or money-market account are recorded as transfers, not income, with interest posted when the statement shows it. Covenant reports use the reconciled balances. ### What if an enterprise customer's wire is short by bank fees? The wire is applied to the invoice in full and the shortfall, typically $15 to $50 of intermediary bank charges, is posted to bank fees rather than left as a receivable. Repeated short payments from one customer are flagged so your account manager can ask them to cover fees, if the contract allows. Next step ## Books closed. Invoices paid. Every month.
