Prepayments & Revenue Recognition
Spread costs and revenue across the right periods, automatically.
What is prepayment and revenue recognition software?
Prepayment and revenue recognition software spreads costs and income over the periods they belong to. Rent, insurance, licences and annual contracts are often paid or billed up front but must be expensed or recognised month by month. Doing that with manual journals is slow and easy to get wrong.
In eVitalyst you record a prepayment once. The system builds the amortization schedule, posts the monthly entries automatically and shows exactly what remains to be amortized. Revenue recognition schedules work the same way for income that spans several periods, so both sides of the accruals picture are handled consistently.
