If you are seeking external financing, pursuing an audit, or your revenue exceeds $25 million, GAAP-compliant accrual accounting is typically required. Even below those thresholds, accrual accounting provides a more accurate financial picture for decision-making.
ASC 606 is the GAAP revenue recognition standard that applies to virtually all businesses. It governs when and how revenue is recognized in your financial statements. If your business has contracts, subscriptions, or multi-element arrangements, ASC 606 likely affects your reporting.
Most US-only businesses report under GAAP. IFRS may be relevant if you have international investors, foreign parent companies, or are planning cross-border transactions. SMAART advises on which framework applies to your situation.
Cash-to-accrual conversions and straightforward policy updates typically complete in 4 to 8 weeks. Full ASC 606 or ASC 842 implementations for contract-heavy businesses run 10 to 16 weeks, including policy documentation, system configuration, and team training.
Fixed engagement fees based on scope, conversion, implementation, or ongoing advisory. You receive a written quote after an initial scoping call, and the quote holds through delivery. No hourly billing, no scope-creep surprises.
