2025 State of Automation for Revenue Accounting NEW DATA

Revenue recognition and reconciliation for subscription businesses

Automatically consolidate, normalize, and reconcile fragmented subscription revenue data in a single system that scales as your business grows.

Overcome subscription complexity with AI-powered revenue recognition

Revenue recognition for subscription businesses seems like a straightforward task, however, it becomes much more complex when accounting for atypical discount structures, credits, refunds, cancellations, or multiple plan types, geos, or currencies. Manually working through thousands of transactions each month is unmanageable and inefficient, not to mention just hard to do. And the risk for non-compliant reporting or missed revenue is exponentially higher. AI-powered revenue recognition and reconciliation with Leapfin removes manual processes and delivers complete, fully auditable revenue data in real-time.
