What SMEs Face With ASC 606

You're not an enterprise with a technical accounting department, but your contracts are complex enough to create risk. This is common ground for growing businesses:

If two or more of these sound familiar, your revenue recognition process needs a technical review before your next close.

How KnowVisory Right-Sizes ASC 606 for Mid-Market

Not a high-touch enterprise consulting engagement. Not a SaaS-only specialist. Technical accounting expertise scaled to your deal volume.

Technical Assessment

We review your revenue contracts and identify performance obligations, transaction prices, and standalone selling prices without disrupting your close timeline.

Contract Analysis & Classification

We assess new and existing deals for ASC 606 complexity, flag materiality thresholds, and recommend treatment before month-end close.

Implementation Support

We design revenue recognition policies, chart of accounts structure, and journal entry templates aligned with your actual contract mix.

Ongoing Revenue Accounting

Monthly or quarterly revenue review, performance obligation tracking, and adjustments, so your team focuses on operations, not compliance firefighting.

Audit-Ready Documentation

We build the contract-to-revenue mapping and technical memos auditors expect, reducing restatement risk and external audit costs.

Frequently asked questions

What is ASC 606 and why do mid-market companies need to comply?
ASC 606 is the US GAAP revenue recognition standard requiring businesses to recognize revenue when performance obligations are satisfied, not simply when cash is received. Mid-market companies need to comply because lenders, investors, and auditors expect financials built on this standard. Misapplied revenue recognition can trigger restatements, audit findings, or delayed financing.
How much does outsourced ASC 606 compliance cost for an SME?
Outsourced ASC 606 support through KnowVisory starts from $7.5 per hour, with actual cost depending on your contract complexity and volume, and whether you need a one-time technical assessment or ongoing monthly reviews. This is typically a fraction of the cost of a full-time technical accounting hire.
Can you handle ASC 606 if we use QuickBooks or Xero?
Yes. We work directly inside QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, SAP, and Zoho Books, building revenue recognition schedules, journal entry templates, and chart of accounts structures that fit the system you already use. No migration is required.
How long does it take to implement ASC 606 policies and procedures?
A technical assessment and initial policy design typically takes a few weeks depending on contract volume and complexity. Ongoing revenue review and documentation then run on a monthly or quarterly cadence once policies are in place.
What happens if our external auditors challenge our revenue recognition after you review it?
We build the contract-to-revenue mapping and technical memos your revenue treatment is based on, so you have documentation to support the classification. If auditors raise questions, we work with your team to walk through the analysis and adjust the treatment if the facts warrant it.
Do you offer ASC 606 support for a one-time project or only ongoing contracts?
Both. You can engage us for a one-time technical assessment or contract review, or set up ongoing monthly or quarterly revenue accounting support. Many clients start with a one-time assessment and move to ongoing support once they see the gap in their existing process.
How is ASC 606 different from revenue recognition under the old rules (ASC 605)?
ASC 605 recognized revenue based on realization and earned criteria, with industry-specific guidance layered on top. ASC 606 replaces that with a single five-step model based on identifying performance obligations and allocating transaction price to each one, which changes the timing and amount of revenue recognized for contracts with multiple deliverables, variable consideration, or long-term terms.
