Case Study: Perch achieves accurate, automated revenue recognition and saves time with TrueRev

Perch - Customer Case Study

Perch, a New York–based retail technology company founded in 2012, faced complex revenue recognition across three streams—hardware sales, SaaS subscriptions and client services—with differing recognition cadences and a 2–3 month lag from contract signing to subscription accrual. Relying on Excel and outsourced accounting created inaccuracies and inefficiency, so Perch turned to TrueRev and its revenue recognition/FinOps software to solve the problem.

TrueRev’s platform (which syncs directly to QuickBooks and automates accrual schedules) eliminated errors, increased accuracy and visibility, and materially reduced month‑end close effort—saving the CEO a couple hours per month and reducing external accounting fees. TrueRev enabled straightforward accrual reporting, let the CEO handle closes himself, and improved Perch’s MRR and overall revenue recognition processes.
