Automate prepaid expense amortization, deferred revenue recognition, and period-end accruals. See MRR, ARR, burn rate, and runway in real time — without leaving your accounting software.
Start Free TrialAccrual accounting is the right basis for any business that bills in advance, prepays for annual services, or needs to recognize expenses in the period they're incurred. The downside: every prepaid invoice and every deferred receipt creates a stream of recurring journal entries that someone has to remember to post each month.
Kantivo handles those recurring postings automatically. Tell it that an annual software subscription should amortize over 12 months, or that a prepaid customer payment should release ratably, and Kantivo creates the schedule and posts the monthly entries on its own. Your books stay current and your auditor sees clean, period-correct numbers without a month-end scramble.
Annual insurance, software subscriptions, and prepaid rent get amortized automatically across the periods they cover.
Annual subscriptions, retainers, and pre-paid services release revenue ratably across the service period — exactly the way GAAP expects.
Recurring accruals — wages, utilities, professional fees — post automatically each period and reverse the next, keeping your accrual basis books honest.
Open any prepaid or deferred item to see the full amortization or recognition schedule — past, current, and future periods all in one view.
For SaaS and subscription businesses, the four metrics investors and operators care most about — MRR, ARR, burn rate, and runway — are also the most painful to maintain in a spreadsheet. Kantivo computes them directly from your books, so the numbers move the moment you book revenue or post an expense.

Manual recurring journal entries are the single biggest source of month-end stress for accrual-basis businesses. Miss one and your P&L is wrong; miss several and your balance sheet is wrong; let them stack up across multiple periods and you're rebuilding your books from source documents at year-end. Auto-accruals close that gap. Set the schedule once, let Kantivo do the posting, and your books stay accurate without the recurring administrative tax.
Any business that sells annual contracts, charges retainers, prepays operating costs, or runs on a subscription model benefits from auto-accruals. SaaS companies get clean MRR and ARR for board reporting. Service businesses get audit-ready deferred revenue. Operators get a real-time picture of burn and runway without keeping a separate model.
Set up an auto-accrual once and let Kantivo handle the rest. Try it free for 30 days.
