Specialized ASC 606 Support for Growing Businesses
ASC 606 is the revenue recognition standard under US GAAP that establishes a single framework for recognizing revenue from customer contracts. It applies to virtually all businesses that generate revenue from customers. However, compliance becomes significantly more complex for companies with subscription models, bundled contracts, milestone-based projects, variable consideration, or multi-element arrangements.
As contract structures evolve, finance teams often struggle to balance compliance requirements with growing operational demands.

Expert ASC 606 Revenue Recognition Services, Tailored to Your Needs
Our outsourced revenue recognition services cover the complete ASC 606 lifecycle. Every engagement is tailored to your contract structure, industry, and audit requirements.
We identify gaps in your current revenue recognition practices and determine whether existing policies align with ASC 606 requirements. Our assessments include revenue process evaluations, accounting policy reviews, contract sampling and analysis, risk identification, and compliance recommendations.
Our accountants review customer contracts—including amendments, order forms, statements of work, and master service agreements—to identify performance obligations and determine how revenue should be recognized. For bundled arrangements, we assess whether goods and services should be accounted for separately and document our conclusions with audit-ready support.
We establish and document standalone selling prices for each performance obligation to ensure revenue is allocated accurately. When SSPs aren't directly observable, we apply appropriate estimation methods and maintain a consistent framework that supports compliance and auditor review.
Our experts assess discounts, rebates, bonuses, usage-based fees, and other forms of variable consideration to determine their impact on revenue recognition. They then update these assessments as circumstances change, helping ensure accurate reporting throughout the year
We allocate transaction prices across performance obligations using documented methodologies that support consistent application and withstand audit scrutiny.
Our experts calculate and record contract assets and contract liabilities, maintain the roll-forward schedule required for disclosure, and ensure contract-related balances are classified and presented accurately in your financial statements.
Changes to contract terms, prices, scope, renewals, and early terminations require careful reassessment under ASC 606. We assess each modification, update revenue schedules, and document the accounting treatment to maintain ongoing compliance.
We determine whether revenue should be recognized over time or at a specific point in time based on the nature of your contracts. Our team applies the appropriate methodology, measures progress accurately, and documents the rationale to support compliance and audit review.
We help identify and account for eligible contract acquisition costs, such as sales commissions, ensuring they are capitalized and amortized appropriately under ASC 340-40. Our team also supports practical expedient elections where applicable.
Whether you are implementing ASC 606 for the first time or reassessing an existing approach, we guide you through the transition process, establish compliant methodologies, and prepare the supporting calculations and disclosures required for adoption.
For US-headquartered companies with international subsidiaries reporting under IFRS, we run both frameworks in parallel, maintaining separate workpapers and managing the differences without duplication or confusion.
ASC 606 requires extensive qualitative and quantitative disclosures. We prepare all the required disclosures as part of our standard monthly and year-end deliverables — in the exact format your auditors and preparers expect.
Our team prepares audit-ready workpapers and serves as a point of contact during fieldwork, responding to auditor inquiries and providing supporting documentation so your finance team can stay focused on core responsibilities.

Take the Complexity Out of Revenue Recognition
FAQs
Why should I outsource ASC 606 revenue recognition?
Outsourcing ASC 606 allows you to access specialized technical expertise without hiring additional in-house resources. It can help reduce compliance risk, accelerate close cycles, improve audit readiness, and free your finance team to focus on strategic priorities. Whether you need support during implementation, month-end close, or audit season, our flexible engagement models adapt to your needs.
How do I know if my business is ASC 606 compliant?
If you're unsure whether your current practices align with ASC 606, we recommend starting with an ASC 606 Readiness Assessment. This structured review identifies gaps in your existing processes and provides a clear roadmap for remediation.
The assessment includes:
- Contract and revenue recognition review
- Policy gap analysis
- SSP methodology evaluation
- Disclosure assessment
- Prioritized remediation recommendations
- Technical memo for management and auditors
This is often the first step for businesses preparing for audits, responding to auditor questions, or navigating new contract structures.
Do contract modifications affect revenue recognition?
Yes. Changes in contract scope, pricing, renewals, or early terminations can impact how revenue is recognized. We assess each modification, determine the appropriate accounting treatment, and update supporting documentation to maintain compliance.
What disclosures are required under ASC 606?
ASC 606-10-50 requires extensive disclosures, including disaggregated revenue broken down by category (geography, product line, contract type, timing of satisfaction), information about contract balances (opening and closing contract assets, liabilities, and receivables), remaining performance obligations (the backlog disclosure, with quantitative and qualitative information), and significant judgments and estimates including SSP determination methods, variable consideration, and over-time recognition methods. We prepare all required disclosures as part of our standard service.
What is the difference between ASC 606 and IFRS 15?
ASC 606 and IFRS 15 are largely aligned, but there are still some differences. They vary when it comes to the treatment of licenses of intellectual property, variable consideration constraint, and principal-versus-agent assessments. For businesses with US and international operations, we manage both frameworks in parallel.
Do I need new software to comply with ASC 606?
Not necessarily. It depends upon your business and contract structure.
Businesses with lower contract volumes or simpler contract structures can use Excel-based contract registers and workpaper models to support ASC 606 compliance. Businesses with higher volumes of contracts (above 200–300) can use dedicated revenue recognition tools such as Sage Intacct, NetSuite, or RevPro for automation and audit trail benefits. We can advise on the right approach for your specific situation.
How quickly can you onboard and get started?
Most engagements begin with a free discovery call to understand your contract portfolio, current revenue accounting practices, and compliance status. We can typically complete onboarding within 2–3 weeks before transitioning into ongoing support.
Do you support CPA firms?
Yes. We work with CPA firms as an extension of their teams, providing white-label ASC 606 expertise, technical accounting memos, revenue recognition workpapers, contract reviews, and busy season support.
Is my financial data secure?
We follow rigorous data security protocols, including encrypted file sharing, role-based access controls, and multi-factor authentication to safeguard your financial information.
