SaaS Bookkeeping and Accounting


Who/what are you using for bookkeeping for SaaS businesses? Who are you using for accounting services for Saas businesses?

A lot depends on the legal and tax structure of the business.

If you’re a small business - you can potentially do cash basis accounting with a disregarded entity LLC. Some SaaS services exists for this.

If you’re a c corp with employees and investor money, you might have more complex needs like accrual basis accounting and nexuses in multiple states. In this case, you probably need dedicated professional advice.

Why aren’t you talking to local established accountants?

I just use Quickbooks. Takes a little getting used to but I can just give my accountant access and they can get what they need to prepare the end of year accounts for filing.
