Perfect for Accounting Seasonal Patterns
Revenue-based financing calculates payments as a percentage of your deposits. Since accounting billings follow predictable seasonal patterns, payments automatically match your actual cash flow.
Seasonal Match
An 8% revenue share on a $60,000 tax season month means $4,800 payment. That same 8% on a $25,000 summer month means only $2,000. Built-in flexibility.
Off-Season Protection
May-December billings are lower for many CPA firms. Fixed payments continue full amount. Revenue-based drops automatically.
Tax Season Acceleration
Strong January-April billings mean comfortable accelerated repayment when you have the cash.
Automatic Adjustment
No negotiation or modification requests. Structure adjusts based on actual deposits automatically.
Why Fixed Payments Create Stress
Seasonal revenue concentration is accounting reality. Financing should acknowledge this.
Fixed Payments vs. Seasonal Revenue
A $4,000 monthly payment is comfortable in April but challenging in August.
Off-Season Cash Strain
May-December revenue is lower. Fixed payments continue regardless of seasonal drop.
Tax Season Concentration
40-60% of revenue in four months creates significant variation throughout year.
Billing Timing Variation
Engagement timing creates billing variation that fixed payments ignore.
Cash Flow Strain
Fixed payments during slow periods strain operations.
New Service Development
Growing advisory services creates revenue variation during transition.

The Challenge
Seasons had typical accounting seasonality: $55,000 monthly in tax season, $22,000 in summer. Fixed $3,500 payments were comfortable in spring but strained summer cash.

The Result
Financing repaid primarily during tax season when cash was abundant. Summer cash flow stress eliminated entirely.
“Summer months with fixed payments were always tight. Revenue-based means June payments drop when billings drop. Finally financing that understands accounting seasonality.”
