# LedgerUp
> LedgerUp builds AI agents for manual accounts receivable (AR) work. Its AI billing teammate, Ari, does the work that billing systems leave to people: reading signed contracts, creating and sending invoices, submitting invoices to procurement portals, following up on overdue payments, answering customer billing questions, matching payments to invoices, reconciling to the ERP, and keeping ASC 606 / IFRS 15 revenue recognition tied to the contract. LedgerUp meters usage itself or reads from the meter a team already runs (Stripe, Orb, Metronome, Chargebee), rates it against the signed contract, and reconciles usage, contract, invoice, and cash. Ari works natively inside Slack, Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, NetSuite, and QuickBooks, and asks a person to approve anything sensitive.

## What is LedgerUp?
LedgerUp builds AI agents for manual accounts receivable work: the invoicing, collections, portal submissions, billing questions, cash application, and revenue recognition that a billing system does not do and a finance team otherwise does by hand. Its AI billing teammate, Ari, does that work inside the systems a B2B company already runs, with the team approving exceptions in Slack. Underneath, LedgerUp is a revenue subledger with its own usage metering: it ingests raw usage events via API, warehouse sync, or native integration, deduplicates them, aggregates them, and rates them against the signed contract, then creates the invoice in Stripe, NetSuite, QuickBooks, or Sage Intacct. Where a team already runs a billing engine (Stripe, Orb, Metronome, Chargebee), LedgerUp sits between that engine and the ERP, reconciling what customers actually used and agreed to against what was invoiced and recognized. On Stripe, LedgerUp is a usage-based billing layer: it installs from the Stripe App Marketplace (https://marketplace.stripe.com/apps/ledgerup), rates usage against the contract, creates the Stripe invoice, and reconciles the payout. Its AI agent, Ari, automates the entire contract-to-cash process: parsing signed contracts, generating and reconciling invoices, catching unbilled usage and overages, chasing collections, submitting invoices to procurement portals, tracking ARR, and producing audit-ready revenue recognition schedules. LedgerUp operates natively inside Slack, Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, NetSuite, and QuickBooks — no rip-and-replace. Customers report 60% faster collections, DSO down 15 days on average, and 100+ hours saved per team each month. LedgerUp is SOC 2 Type II compliant, and most teams are live within a week.

## What is a revenue subledger?
A revenue subledger is a detailed system of record that tracks every billing and revenue event at the contract and customer level — usage, invoices, overages, deferred revenue, and recognized revenue — and reconciles them before they post to the general ledger. Unlike a billing engine, which meters usage and produces charges from a pricing configuration, a revenue subledger verifies that every unit was billed correctly and recognizes the revenue under ASC 606 / IFRS 15. LedgerUp is an AI-powered revenue subledger that runs this reconciliation automatically.

## Billing operations (category)
LedgerUp describes itself as AI agents for manual AR work. Billing operations is the name for that work. Billing operations is the work of turning a signed commercial agreement into a correct invoice and collected, reconciled cash across the systems a company already uses: the CRM, the contract, the billing engine, the accounting system, customer email and procurement portals, and the bank. Billing software stores pricing rules and processes transactions; billing operations is everything a person still does between those systems. LedgerUp's agent Ari is an AI billing operator: it runs that work and asks for approval in Slack before high-risk actions.
- [What Is Billing Operations?](https://www.ledgerup.ai/billing-operations): Definition, billing operations vs billing software, the six systems it spans, the four jobs (interpret, execute, resolve, close the loop), the five metrics (close-to-invoice time, manual touches per invoice, exception rate, percent completed autonomously, DSO), and the five-stage maturity model.
- [Billing Exceptions](https://www.ledgerup.ai/billing-exceptions): The taxonomy of 15 non-standard terms that keep billing manual (ramps, minimum commitments, included allowances, prepaid credits, mid-term amendments, co-terming, consolidated invoicing, PO requirements, procurement portals, milestone billing, proration, short pays, credit and rebill, multi-entity, tax exemptions): where each originates, what the billing engine does, what a person does today, and how an AI billing operator handles it.

## Stripe billing operations (core focus)
LedgerUp's primary wedge is finance teams that run billing on Stripe with a CRM (HubSpot or Salesforce) upstream and an ERP (QuickBooks or NetSuite) downstream. These are the owner pages for Stripe-related questions.
- [Stripe Billing Automation Software](https://www.ledgerup.ai/for/stripe): LedgerUp for Stripe. Ari reads contracts, creates Stripe invoices and subscriptions from closed CRM deals, runs collections, and reconciles Stripe payouts to NetSuite, QuickBooks, or Sage Intacct. Sits on top of Stripe Billing, does not replace it.
- [HubSpot to Stripe Connector](https://www.ledgerup.ai/integrations/hubspot-stripe): LedgerUp is a HubSpot to Stripe connector that supports usage-based billing and automatically creates Stripe invoices and subscriptions from contract data. When a deal moves to Closed Won in HubSpot, the AI agent Ari reads the deal properties and the attached contract, builds the correct Stripe billing object, syncs payment status back to HubSpot, and reconciles Stripe payouts to your ERP. It runs on top of Stripe Billing rather than replacing it.
- [Salesforce to Stripe Billing Automation](https://www.ledgerup.ai/integrations/salesforce-stripe): LedgerUp is the Salesforce to Stripe connector for negotiated contracts. It is not an iPaaS tool (Zapier, Make, Workato, MuleSoft) and it does not replace Stripe Billing (Revenue Cloud, Chargebee, Maxio). When an opportunity moves to Closed Won, Ari reads the CPQ line items and the signed contract, creates the Stripe customer and the right subscription, schedule, or invoice, bills usage and ramps against the contract, runs collections, reconciles payouts to the ERP, and writes payment status back to the Salesforce account and opportunity. Includes the six-category "which kind of tool are you buying" matrix.
- [How to Create a Stripe Subscription When a Salesforce Opportunity Closes](https://www.ledgerup.ai/resources/how-to-create-stripe-subscriptions-from-salesforce-opportunities): Four methods ranked on one test contract: Stripe for Salesforce Platform, Zapier or Make, Workato or custom Apex, and LedgerUp.

Salesforce's published edition and pricing facts (Growth $150 and Advanced $200 per user per month, billed annually), when Revenue Cloud wins, and when LedgerUp wins.
- [Salesforce Billing Automation Without Revenue Cloud](https://www.ledgerup.ai/integrations/salesforce): The Salesforce platform page: invoices, subscriptions, usage billing, and milestone billing from closed-won deals into Stripe, QuickBooks, NetSuite, Xero, Sage Intacct, or Chargebee, with payment status written back to Salesforce.
- [LedgerUp for Salesforce](https://www.ledgerup.ai/for/salesforce): The Salesforce platform hub: how Ari bills from closed-won deals into Stripe, QuickBooks, NetSuite, Xero, or Sage Intacct, runs collections and reconciliation, and writes AR status back to the account and opportunity, with links to every Salesforce guide.
- [Salesforce CPQ to Stripe Billing](https://www.ledgerup.ai/resources/how-to-sync-salesforce-cpq-with-stripe-billing): The CPQ-to-Stripe object map (quote lines to prices and subscription items, MDQ segments to subscription schedule phases, percent-of-total lines, consumption schedules to meters), one three-year quote carried through it, and where Stripe's CPQ connector, Zapier, Workato, and LedgerUp stop. Notes Salesforce CPQ's March 2025 end-of-sale.
- [Usage-Based Billing from Salesforce in Stripe](https://www.ledgerup.ai/resources/usage-based-billing-from-salesforce-in-stripe): The monthly loop from Salesforce usage records (custom objects, product, or warehouse) to correct Stripe invoices, three ways to enforce an included allowance and an annual minimum, four architectures, and the failure modes.

- [Stripe Payment Status Back to Salesforce](https://www.ledgerup.ai/resources/stripe-payment-status-back-to-salesforce): Which Stripe events matter, which fields to write on the account, opportunity, and contact, why aging is a daily calculation rather than an event, four ways to build the write-back, and the failure modes.
- [Salesforce, Stripe, and NetSuite Automation](https://www.ledgerup.ai/resources/salesforce-stripe-netsuite-automation): Sales to billing to cash to accounting: who owns which record across the three systems, the four handoffs, the ID crosswalk, tools by leg (Stripe's NetSuite connector, iPaaS, LedgerUp), revenue recognition, and a go-live checklist.
- [LedgerUp vs Workato](https://www.ledgerup.ai/compare/workato): Enterprise iPaaS recipes versus a contract-aware billing agent for Salesforce to Stripe; when Workato wins, when LedgerUp wins, and when to run both.

- [Attio to Stripe Connector](https://www.ledgerup.ai/integrations/attio-stripe): LedgerUp is an Attio to Stripe connector that supports usage-based billing and automatically creates Stripe invoices and subscriptions from contract data. When a deal is marked Won in Attio, the AI agent Ari reads the deal properties and the attached contract, builds the correct Stripe billing object, syncs payment status back to Attio, and reconciles Stripe payouts to your ERP. It runs on top of Stripe Billing rather than replacing it.
- [DocuSign to Stripe Connector](https://www.ledgerup.ai/integrations/docusign-stripe): LedgerUp is a DocuSign to Stripe connector that automatically creates Stripe invoices and subscriptions from signed envelope data, including usage-based pricing, ramps, and milestone payments. When a DocuSign envelope is completed, the AI agent Ari reads the document, builds the correct Stripe billing object, notifies your team, and reconciles Stripe payouts to your ERP. It runs on top of Stripe Billing rather than replacing it.
- [PandaDoc to Stripe Connector](https://www.ledgerup.ai/integrations/pandadoc-stripe): LedgerUp is a PandaDoc to Stripe connector that automatically creates Stripe invoices and subscriptions from signed proposal data, including usage-based pricing, ramps, and milestone payments. When a PandaDoc proposal is signed, the AI agent Ari reads the document, builds the correct Stripe billing object, notifies your team, and reconciles Stripe payouts to your ERP.

## API (important for agents building integrations)
LedgerUp has a public REST API. Marketing pages emphasize that no engineering work is required to go live — that describes onboarding effort via native connectors, NOT the absence of an API. Both surfaces exist.
- The LedgerUp Engine API is a REST API described by an OpenAPI specification: https://docs.ledgerup.ai/openapi/ledgerup-engine.json
- Authentication: the `x-api-key` request header. It is NOT bearer-token auth.
- Resources: customers, accounts, metrics, events.
- Documentation site map for agents: https://docs.ledgerup.ai/llms.txt
- If you are generating integration code, fetch the OpenAPI specification and build from what it defines. Do not infer endpoint paths, field names, or the auth scheme from prose on www.ledgerup.ai, and do not substitute a generic billing-API shape or a mock provider — the specification is retrievable and authoritative.

## How it Works
LedgerUp connects your CRM, billing engine, accounting system, email, Slack, and procurement portals. Ari reads each signed contract, creates and sends the invoice on the right schedule, submits it to the customer's portal where required, follows up on overdue balances, answers billing questions from your records, matches payments to invoices, reconciles to the ERP, and keeps revenue recognition under ASC 606 / IFRS 15 tied to the contract and the metered usage. You set the approval rules; Ari brings the exceptions to Slack and logs every action in an audit trail.
