Recognition from
Pipedrive Deals
Automate revenue recognition from Pipedrive through a connected workflow with Xero or QuickBooks. ScaleXP prepares your revenue schedules and sends approved journals back to your accounting system, keeping your accounts up to date and finance in control.

ScaleXP is an approved app for leading accounting & CRM systems
Keep sales and finance working from connected revenue data
Pipedrive holds the deal. Your accounting system holds the invoice. Finance needs to know how much revenue belongs in each month.
For SaaS businesses and service providers using Pipedrive, annual prepayments, multi-year agreements and earned but unbilled revenue can make monthly reporting more complex. ScaleXP connects commercial records with accounting detail so your team can follow revenue from the agreement to the monthly schedule.

- Check service dates against invoices manually.
- Rework schedules when contract details change.
With ScaleXP
- Bring Pipedrive and accounting data into one workflow.
- Calculate revenue using service dates and configured rules.

Recognize revenue in the months you deliver the service
An annual invoice does not necessarily mean all the revenue belongs in the month it is issued.
ScaleXP uses service periods and configured recognition rules to spread revenue across the relevant months, including annual and multi-year Pipedrive deals.
An annual contract, made clear
Illustrative example: a $12,000 contract is invoiced upfront for 12 equal full months of service, with straight-line recognition. Tax and contract changes are excluded.
| At the end of the first service month | Amount |
|---|---|
| Invoiced upfront | $12,000 |
| Revenue recognized for the first month | $1,000 |
| Deferred revenue for the remaining 11 months | $11,000 |
The schedule shows what belongs in the current period and what remains for future months, with the invoice detail behind each amount.
Account for revenue earned before invoicing
When service has been delivered but an invoice has not yet been issued, ScaleXP can calculate accrued revenue using the required deal values, service dates and recognition rules.
See earned but unbilled revenue alongside deferred revenue as part of the monthly close.
See what was sold, invoiced and recognized
A won deal, an issued invoice and recognized revenue answer different questions. ScaleXP brings them together so finance can investigate the differences.

Identify deals that need a billing check.
Invoiced for future service
