Definition
Ebenezer's digital organism ingests contract data and billing schedules, identifies performance obligations, allocates transaction prices using your configured methodology, and posts straight-line or milestone-based revenue recognition journal entries to the general ledger each period. It maintains a complete contract-level audit trail that satisfies ASC 606 and IFRS 15 documentation requirements.
Industry context
Why this matters
Manual revenue recognition spreadsheets are the leading cause of material restatements for SaaS companies
ASC 606 compliance adds an average of 3 to 4 days to the monthly close for mid-size companies without automation
Audit preparation for revenue recognition typically takes 20 to 40 hours annually for each revenue stream
Revenue recognition errors cost public companies an average of $1.2 million in restatement and audit costs
Automated rev rec reduces period-end journal entry posting time from hours to minutes
The problem
What teams deal with today
Rev rec spreadsheets break when contract modifications or upgrades are added mid-period
Month-end close is held up waiting for rev rec calculations to be reviewed and approved
Audit prep requires rebuilding the entire contract-level detail schedule from scratch

Common questions about Revenue Recognition Automation
How does Ebenezer handle contract modifications that change the performance obligation?
When a contract modification is detected in your CRM or billing system, Ebenezer identifies whether it represents a modification to the existing contract or a new contract under ASC 606 guidance. It recalculates the standalone selling prices for affected obligations, adjusts the revenue allocation, and posts the cumulative catch-up or prospective adjustment as required. The modification and the accounting treatment are both documented in the audit trail.
Can Ebenezer handle usage-based and subscription revenue in the same company?
Yes. Ebenezer applies different recognition methods to different revenue streams based on your configuration. Subscription contracts use straight-line recognition over the service period; usage-based contracts recognize revenue when usage is reported and invoiced. Companies with hybrid contracts that include both a subscription base and a usage overage are handled correctly with the subscription and usage components tracked separately.
How does Ebenezer prepare revenue data for external auditors?
Ebenezer maintains a contract-level revenue detail file that shows, for each active contract, the total transaction price, the allocated amounts per performance obligation, cumulative revenue recognized to date, and the deferred revenue balance. This file is exportable in the format your auditors specify and updates automatically each close. Most customers report that audit fieldwork for revenue is 50% to 60% shorter after deploying Ebenezer.
Does Ebenezer work for companies that haven't yet fully implemented ASC 606?
Yes. If you are in the process of transitioning to ASC 606, Ebenezer can model both your current and new recognition approaches simultaneously, making it easier to quantify the transition adjustment. For companies that are already compliant but still using spreadsheets, Ebenezer migrates the existing spreadsheet logic into its recognition engine so you don't lose historical accuracy during the switch.
