Why Rillet
The AI-native ERP that modern finance teams are switching to.
Rillet is not another accounting tool with AI bolted on. It was built from the ground up to automate the work that kills finance team productivity. Here is what that means for your business and why we chose to build our entire practice around it.
What is Rillet
A general ledger built for the speed and complexity of modern business.
Rillet is an AI-native ERP and general ledger designed specifically for software and services companies. Unlike legacy platforms that were built for manufacturing businesses decades ago and retrofitted for SaaS, Rillet was designed from scratch around how modern revenue models actually work.
It connects directly to your billing system, your bank, your payment processor and your CRM. It automates revenue recognition under ASC 606, reconciles transactions in real time and gives your finance team a live view of the business at any point in the month.
Rillet is trusted by fast-growing companies that have outgrown QuickBooks and do not want the complexity and cost of NetSuite.
Rillet vs Legacy ERP
How Rillet compares to the alternatives.
Most finance teams choose between a tool they have outgrown and a platform that costs more than it delivers. Rillet is the third option.
| Category | QuickBooks / Xero | Legacy ERP | Rillet |
|---|---|---|---|
| Built for SaaS | Designed for small business: SaaS needs workarounds | Broad platform: requires configuration for SaaS | Purpose-built for SaaS revenue models |
| Rev rec automation | Manual process or third-party plugin required | Available as a separate module add-on | Built in natively: ASC 606 and IFRS 15 |
| AI capabilities | Not available | Add-on features available separately | AI-native: built into the core platform |
| Reporting | Standard reports: limited customization | Real-time: canned and customizable reports | Real-time: AI-enabled and automated |
| Implementation time | Quick to start: outgrown as complexity grows | 6 to 12 months depending on configuration | 4 to 6 weeks |
| Total cost | Low entry cost: add-ons increase over time | Enterprise pricing: licenses plus services plus admin | Right-sized: fixed-fee and predictable |
| Multi-entity support | Limited: one entity per account typically | Supported: requires additional configuration | Native: clean consolidation built in |
This comparison reflects general market positioning. Every business is different.

Why buy through ZeroDayClose
One Partner,
Zero Surprises
You can buy Rillet directly and hire an implementation firm separately. That approach creates a gap between purchase and go-live, misalignment between your software vendor and your systems team and no single point of accountability when something needs resolving.
When you work with ZeroDayClose, the license and implementation come from one team under one contract. We are incentivized to get you live and operating well. Not to extend the engagement.
What sets us apart is who does the work. Our team is not made up of generalist consultants. It is financial systems managers and directors who have owned and run the finance tech stack at software and services companies, alongside CPAs who understand what the system needs to produce: not just how to configure it. We have sat in the seat. We know what good looks like on day one and at month-end close.
Common questions about working with us.
Q1
Is Rillet only for SaaS companies?
Rillet works best for B2B SaaS companies, AI and tech startups, fintech businesses, ecommerce operations and professional services firms with recurring or usage-based revenue models. If your business has complex revenue recognition needs and wants real-time financial visibility without the cost and implementation timeline of a legacy ERP, Rillet is worth a serious evaluation.
Q2
How does Rillet handle revenue recognition?
Rillet automates revenue recognition under ASC 606 and IFRS 15. It pulls data directly from your billing system, calculates deferred and recognized revenue automatically and posts the journal entries without manual intervention. Your rev rec waterfall is always current.
Q3
What systems does Rillet integrate with?
Rillet integrates natively with Stripe, Salesforce, HubSpot, Rippling, Gusto, Mercury, Brex, Ramp and major banks. Additional integrations are available through their growing partner ecosystem. We handle all integration setup as part of every implementation.
Q4
How long does it take to implement Rillet?
With ZeroDayClose, most implementations take 2 to 6 weeks depending on the complexity of your business model and the number of integrations. We have completed implementations in as little as 10 days for straightforward setups. We scope every project before you commit so you know exactly what to expect.
Q5
What happens to our historical data when we switch to Rillet?
We migrate your historical financial data as part of every implementation. The scope and depth of migration depends on your needs. At minimum we establish clean opening balances. For clients who need full historical transaction detail, we handle that migration as part of the project scope.
