In this episode, we are excited to welcome Jeff Alley of Everest Systems. The discussion covers a range of topics from the challenges faced by SaaS companies to how Revenue Accountants have a similar mind-set to system developers. He also tells us more about the SaaS ERP application his company is building which covers the full end-to-end process from booking to record and reporting.

ASC606 requires that adjustments to revenue be done at the transaction level. That's not always feasible due to a high volume of transactions or the inability to identify specific contracts to which the adjustment applies. In this episode, we discuss the Portfolio Method and how a top-level adjustment can be made which results in reporting revenue that is not materially different from adjusting on a transaction by transaction basis.
