Case Study: Marqeta achieves automated billing, revenue recognition, and scalable subscription growth with Sage Intacct

Modern Billing for Modern SaaS Companies

Marqeta, led by Ahmed Siddiqui, is a payment-innovation platform powering prepaid, debit, and credit card solutions for major commerce companies. As the business scaled, a home-grown billing system created data silos and manual hand-offs between sales, operations, data, and finance—driving about 80 hours of monthly effort that was increasing alongside rapidly growing sales. The team needed a unified approach to support flexible billing scenarios, automated usage tracking, reliable revenue recognition, and accurate metrics for stakeholders from Sales to the CFO.

Marqeta implemented Sage Intacct’s revenue management solution, connecting usage data via native APIs and consolidating customer records into a single Contract Master. That enabled automated billing, instant revenue recognition, flexible tiered pricing, real-time subscription dashboards, and improved forecasting and reporting for the board. The result was a dramatic reduction in manual effort (previously ~80 hours/month), faster time-to-bill, clearer cross-functional visibility, and better financial metrics to support growth and cash flow.
