Irregular expenses distort the month

Dealing with irregular expenses and long-term liabilities affects the accuracy of time-based profitability performance. A warranty claim from last spring's sales, a rebate earned all year and booked in December — each one true, each one in the wrong place.

Skönto applies deduction techniques to allocate these costs over their related revenues. Provisions accrue the moment the revenue is booked — warranty reserves, conditional bonuses and rebates, prompt-payment discounts — first-class objects in the ledger, not month-end journal heroics.

Provisioning, made ordinary

Real-time insight into profitability

Provisioning irregular expenses in line with their corresponding revenues gives a clear view into trends and patterns — decisions rest on numbers that are already true.

Conditional bonuses & rebates

Performance-based pricing policies by customer tier, product category and brand — applied automatically, accrued as they are earned, never trued up blind at year-end.

Warranty provision

Reserves for future warranty claims are allocated against the sales that created them, so a claims spike lands on the ledger without landing on the month.
