About the team

The Revenue Subledger is a core system powering Stripe Revenue Recognition and other accounting and reconciliation products. Stripe Revenue Recognition enables accountants and financial officers to automate the calculation of their accrual accounting reports, reducing manual work and errors in complex financial scenarios, and get accurate reports faster than ever before. The revenue subledger system is responsible for managing the overall debits and credits ledger entries for all the revenue generated by these customers and building the configurability of how those ledger entries are processed to enable real-time accounting automation.

By coordinating billing, tax, accounting, reporting, and data services in one modern stack, Stripe’s revenue and finance automation suite eliminates the inefficiencies of legacy finance tools and supports revenue growth.
