AccrualAlign
Never miss another accrual
Tracks patient visits and aligns them with site budgets for accurate, GAAP-compliant accruals (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), helping companies book expenses in the correct period despite invoicing delays from CROs (Contract Research Organizations).
AccrualAlign is currently in development. Try our interactive demo to see it in action.
The Clinical Trial Accrual Challenge
Clinical trials face a perfect storm of accrual complexity:
-
✗
Delayed CRO Invoicing
Invoices arrive 30-90 days after patient visits occur
-
✗
Manual Visit Tracking
Spreadsheets can't keep up with thousands of patient visits
-
✗
GAAP Compliance Risk
Expenses must be booked when incurred, not when invoiced
-
✗
Budget Variance Blindness
No visibility into actual vs. expected visit costs until it's too late
