What it does

Gives finance an early-warning signal instead of close-day surprises. Each day it tallies Stripe billings for the open period and compares them to the deferred-revenue and unbilled balances in Snowflake, tracking the running variance against a materiality threshold.

When to use it

When you want continuous assurance during the open period that billing and recognition are tracking together, so a drift is caught on day 3 rather than at close.

How it works

  1. 1A daily scheduled trigger fires during the open accounting period.
  2. 2The flow sums current-period billed amounts from Stripe.
  3. 3It reads the deferred-revenue and unbilled balances from Snowflake for the same period.
  4. 4A logic step computes the variance and tests it against the configured materiality threshold.
  5. 5If the threshold is breached, a Slack alert notifies the controller with the variance, the drivers, and the day's trend.
