AI-native ERP for SaaS that automates rev-rec, deferred revenue, and the close directly from billing data.
Rillet is a general ledger and ERP built specifically for SaaS and subscription businesses: it connects natively to billing systems, payment processors, and banks, then automates the accounting those data flows imply — revenue recognition schedules, deferred revenue rollforwards, journal entries, and month-end close tasks. The pitch is an ERP that understands ARR as a first-class concept, producing investor-grade SaaS metrics from the same ledger that closes the books. Controllers and accounting teams at growth-stage software companies are the buyers, usually migrating off QuickBooks or Xero before committing to NetSuite.
Which of the capability map's modules Rillet covers — each links to the module's own page, with every tool that supports it.
| Module | Phase | Depth | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fulfill & Bill | |||
| GL Posting / Accounting Sync | Rate & Bill | Core | A native GL fed directly by billing, payments, and bank data. |
| Run Revenue Operations | |||
| Revenue Recognition (ASC 606) | Financial Operations | Core | Recognition schedules generated automatically from contracts and billing events. |
| Financial Period Close | Financial Operations | Core | AI-assisted close automation for entries, reconciliations, and checklists. |
| Deferred Revenue Management | Credit & Compliance | Supported | Deferred balances and rollforwards maintained alongside recognition. |
Vertical focus is the differentiation: where horizontal ERPs treat subscription revenue as a customization project, Rillet ships rev-rec, deferred revenue, and SaaS reporting as native behavior wired to billing data. Layering AI over the close — drafting entries, reconciling, flagging anomalies — targets the labor that makes month-end slow, positioning it as the modern alternative in the QuickBooks-to-NetSuite gap.
A full general ledger — that is the distinction. Rev-rec point solutions sit beside your existing GL; Rillet is the GL, with subscription accounting built in. You adopt it as your accounting system of record, not as another integration on top of one.
SaaS companies that have outgrown small-business accounting but dread a NetSuite implementation. Rillet bets that a vertical ERP with native billing integrations covers what a software company needs with far less configuration. Companies with inventory, manufacturing, or very complex multi-entity needs still fit the horizontal suites better.
