Case Study: Animalz streamlines accounts receivable and achieves accurate revenue recognition for under 1% of ARR with Chargebee

How Animalz streamlined their Account Receivables at a cost of less than 1% of their annual recurring revenue, using Chargebee

Animalz, led by founder Walter Chen, was struggling with messy financials: accrual accounting and revenue recognition were being handled incorrectly by an outsourced back-office using spreadsheets, while Bill.com and Stripe created manual reconciliation headaches. The inaccurate recognized revenue threatened the company’s ability to understand profitability and make informed decisions.

By adopting Chargebee (integrated with Stripe) and back-importing invoices, Animalz centralized billing, implemented compliant revenue recognition reporting, and automated offline ACH Credit Transfer reconciliations (95% of their payments). The result was a single, auditable source for accounts receivable and ageing reports, major time savings and operational autonomy, elimination of the costly back-office mediation, and all at a cost of less than 1% of their annual recurring revenue.
