Accounting for SaaS Startups

Investor-ready books, without the guesswork.

Fundraising and board meetings reward firms that know their numbers cold. OnNumbers keeps your books close-ready every day, with GAAP-based accounting, runway, and SaaS metrics you can see in real time instead of reconstructing at quarter-end.

What gets in the way

The problems we see most

  • Deferred revenue and ASC 606 handled wrong until a diligence process exposes it.
  • Runway and burn calculated in a spreadsheet that is already out of date.
  • Board decks assembled in a scramble the night before the meeting.
  • No clear answer when an investor asks how the numbers were derived.

    On you

See the work, not just the result.

Log in and watch your accounting team work in real time: who is on what, how far along they are, and what is waiting on you. The end-of-month report stops being a surprise, because you have followed every step to get there.

Month-end stops being a surprise. You can see the close is on track before it’s late, instead of chasing somebody for a status update.

Follow month-end step by step, with a live progress bar covering bank recon, AP, AR, accruals, and sales tax.

Financial Close

Problems surface the day they appear rather than six weeks later, while they’re still cheap to fix.

Structured daily analysis of revenue, cash, runway, and anomalies. You see it the same day, well before month-end.

AI Pulse

Nobody rebuilds the same spreadsheet every month, and you know which numbers moved without having to ask anyone.

Live KPI and KRA dashboards and scorecards, so you can track performance without rebuilding spreadsheets.

KPI Engine

You know today whether your books can be trusted, rather than finding out halfway through a diligence process.

An AI-maintained account health score with open problems and prioritized recommendations.

Review Account

A board or lender request takes minutes. You’re not assembling a deck the night before the meeting.

P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, and trial balance with branded PDF and Excel export.

Reporting Engine

Runway becomes a number you can act on, instead of a spreadsheet cell somebody last touched two months ago.

Budget vs. actual and rolling forecasts tied to your books, so runway decisions use current numbers.

Budget & Forecast

You get the answer without commissioning a report and waiting a week to read it.

AI-powered insight packs for AR, AP, revenue, expenses, and cash. Answers without building reports.

AI Financial Insights

A finance question takes about thirty seconds, rather than three days of email with your bookkeeper.

Ask questions in natural language. AI returns charts, tables, and answers grounded in your data.

Ask AI

You stop paying the same invoice twice. Duplicate payments and unusual vendor activity get flagged the day they land, well before a year-end review would find them.

AI-powered checks for duplicate payments, unusual vendor activity, and risk, surfaced early.

Vendor Compliance

You can see what you actually spend and with whom, instead of four spellings of the same vendor scattered across the ledger.

AI-assisted vendor dedup, enrichment, and risk scoring, with spend visibility and ledger write-back.

Vendor Expense Management

Miscoded and out-of-policy spend gets caught as it lands, so year-end is a close rather than a cleanup project. Every line carries a control on it, and an audit trail behind it.

AI classification suggestions, policy rules, risk scoring, and approvals on GL transactions.

Transaction Assurance

You can answer “how are we doing” on any day of the month, without waiting for the next scheduled report.

On-demand AI-written read of your financial position, key trends, and what to watch. Run it when you need it.

AI Assessment

Every capability above is included with every plan, at no additional cost. See how the platform works →
