Accrual Accounting Without the Manual Work

Accrual accounting means recognizing revenue when it's earned and expenses when they're incurred, not when cash changes hands. The problem? Creating those adjusting journal entries every month is tedious and error-prone.

Kantivo's Auto-Accruals engine lets you set up a schedule once and it creates the journal entries for you, on time, every time. No spreadsheets, no forgotten entries, no month-end scramble.

Four Types of Accrual Schedules

Prepaid Expense Amortization

Spread a lump-sum payment over the months it covers. The prepaid asset decreases as the expense is recognized.

Example: $12,000 annual insurance paid Jan 1 → $1,000/month expense for 12 months

Deferred Revenue Recognition

Recognize collected revenue as it's earned over the service period. The liability decreases as revenue is recognized.

Example: $6,000 annual subscription collected upfront → $500/month revenue for 12 months

Accrued Expenses

Record expenses incurred but not yet paid. Recognizes the expense in the correct period even when payment comes later.

Example: $3,000/month rent, invoiced quarterly → Monthly expense accrual

Accrued Revenue

Record revenue earned but not yet invoiced or collected. Ensures financial statements reflect actual performance.

Example: $5,000/month consulting, invoiced quarterly → Monthly revenue accrual

SaaS Metrics on Your Dashboard

If you run a subscription business, you need more than income and expenses. Kantivo adds a dedicated SaaS metrics widget to your main dashboard, calculated automatically from your existing accounting data.

What Each Metric Tells You

MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue) shows your predictable monthly income from active subscriptions, normalized across all billing intervals. ARR is simply MRR annualized.

Burn Rate is your total monthly cash outflow from expenses. Net Burn subtracts revenue from expenses. If it's positive, you're growing. If it's negative, you're burning cash.

Runway tells you how many months of cash you have left at the current burn rate. Kantivo color-codes this: red means less than 6 months, yellow means less than 12, and green means you're in good shape.

Churn Rate shows the percentage of subscriptions canceled in the last 30 days. Lower is better.

Always On, Always Current

The SaaS metrics widget appears automatically when you have subscription data. It updates every time you open your dashboard. You can hide or show it with one click, and your preference is remembered.
