SaaS accounting is the process of managing and reporting the finances of software-as-a-service businesses. Unlike traditional businesses, SaaS companies typically generate recurring revenue through subscriptions, making revenue recognition, forecasting and financial reporting more complex.
UK SaaS businesses report under UK GAAP (FRS 102), and revenue from subscriptions must be recognised over the life of the contract rather than when cash is received. Getting this right is essential for producing accurate accounts and understanding the true performance of your business.
As SaaS specialists, we help software companies manage subscription revenue, monitor key financial metrics, maintain compliance and gain clear insight into profitability and growth.
At DH Business Support, we have set practices in place to ensure the best SaaS accountancy service. Our dedicated team have a lot of experience dealing with SaaS businesses and can help you understand the rules around owning a SaaS business.
There are three different methods of SaaS accounting, and these include:
Cash accounting counts revenue and expenses when cash is received or paid. On the other hand, accrual accounting doesn’t count revenue until it’s earned, regardless of the cash that comes into the business. This method can be complex, but it is better for SaaS businesses with a subscription-based income.
GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) is a set of accounting guidelines, rules, and regulations. It helps with business accounting and requires organisation, consistency, and comparable financials – all of which are provided by our SaaS accountants, who ensure data is accurate and reliable.
Your SaaS business must generate the following data at least monthly.
Profit and loss statements or income statements – important financial statements that summarise your business’s revenue, costs, and expenses over time. Your trusted SaaS accountant can keep track of these finances on your behalf.
Balance sheet – provides information regarding your company’s assets and liabilities. Additionally, balance sheets can show equity and things your company owns
Bookings – this helps show how much your business is expected to earn over time and the amount that customers have committed to paying towards either subscriptions or services. It also helps show the success of your SaaS business.
Billing – shows what’s billed to your customers and the amount that your business plans on collecting from them.
Cash flow statement – shows the ins and outs of cash flow in your business
Revenue – displays your business’s earnings and profit. SaaS revenue recognition can be hard to measure. With subscriptions, some customers can pay upfront for a year and not count the entire payment as profit yet. The money will only be counted as your customers consume your services each month.
