Revenue Schedule
What is Revenue Schedule?
A revenue schedule is a plan that outlines how and when revenue from a contract will be recognized in the company’s financial statements. It breaks down a large payment into smaller portions that are “earned” over the duration of the service period.
Why It Matters
-
It ensures compliance with accounting standards like ASC 606 and IFRS 15.
-
It provides a more accurate view of monthly and quarterly financial performance.
-
It helps in tracking the transition of deferred revenue into recognized revenue over time.
-
It is essential for SaaS companies that collect annual payments but provide services monthly.
