What it does

Watches Stripe for paid invoices and checks each one against the deferred-revenue recognition schedule stored in Snowflake. When an invoice's billing date and its service-period start fall on opposite sides of the accounting close boundary, it raises a cutoff mismatch so revenue lands in the correct period.

When to use it

For controllers and revenue accountants running monthly or quarterly close who need invoice-level assurance that cash receipts and recognized revenue are sitting in the right period before they lock the books.

How it works

  1. 1A Stripe `invoice.paid` webhook fires and delivers the invoice payload.
  2. 2The flow queries Snowflake for the deferred-revenue schedule row keyed on the invoice's subscription or line item.
  3. 3A logic step compares the invoice date and the schedule's recognition start against the current period-end cutoff date.
  4. 4If they straddle the boundary, the mismatch (amount, periods, suggested entry) is appended to an Airtable exceptions table.
  5. 5A Slack message tags the controller with the flagged invoice and a link to the Airtable row.
