Frequently Asked Questions

Answers for founders, venture-backed CFOs, and tech finance leads regarding statutory audits and investor reporting.

Statutory Thresholds

When does a growing scale-up become legally obligated to undergo a statutory audit?

+
A scale-up is subject to mandatory audit when it exceeds at least two of the three Dutch statutory criteria (balance sheet assets, net revenue, employee count) for two consecutive financial years on a consolidated basis.
Opening Balances

Why should we audit our financial statements before reaching statutory size?

+
Conducting a voluntary audit prior to crossing statutory thresholds verifies opening balances in advance. This prevents costly audit delays and retrospective adjustments when the first mandatory year arrives or during an investment round.
SaaS Revenue

How does Just Audit handle complex recurring subscription revenue recognition?

+
We audit MRR/ARR contract terms, multi-element SaaS bundling, deferred revenue waterfalls, and churn metrics under both Dutch GAAP (RJ 270) and IFRS 15, ensuring complete alignment with investor metrics.
Fundraising Speed

Can Just Audit accommodate tight deadlines for upcoming Series B/C funding rounds?

+
Yes. By utilizing automated API data ingestion and dedicated partner-led sprint fieldwork, we deliver verified audited financial statements and data room deliverables in time for investor closing dates.
Stock Options & SAFEs

How are share-based compensation (ESOPs) and convertible loan notes treated?

+
We verify option pool agreements, 409A/fair-value valuations, vesting schedules, and SAFE/convertible debt classifications in equity versus liabilities under applicable reporting standards.
Software Capitalization

What are the audit rules for capitalizing internal software development costs?

+
Under Dutch GAAP (RJ 210) and IFRS (IAS 38), development expenditures can be capitalized only when strict technical feasibility, market viability, and direct development cost tracking are documented.
Accounting Integration

Which accounting and billing platforms can connect directly to your audit tools?

+
Our Caseware Cloud ecosystem integrates seamlessly with Exact Online, NetSuite, AFAS, Twinfield, Stripe, Chargebee, and standard XAF general ledger audit files, eliminating manual work.
Fixed Fees

Are scale-up audit fees fixed, and how do you handle rapid revenue growth?

+
We provide transparent fixed-fee proposals scoped to your current stage and complexity. Any adjustments required by rapid mid-year acquisitions or new funding rounds are discussed and agreed upfront.
