Why time zones can influence the MRR calculation

In Fincome, invoice lines are interpreted according to their start and end date and time. To ensure the consistency of calculations, the platform automatically applies the time zone configured on the account (default: UTC +1 for France).

This means that when an invoice line starts, for example, on 01/31/2025 at 11 p.m. UTC, it is converted to 02/01/2025 at 12 a.m. (UTC +1) in the MRR calculation. ➡️ As a result, this line will be taken into account from February and not from January.

Concrete example

• Actual start date on the invoice: 01/31/2025 at 11 p.m. UTC
• Applied time zone (UTC +1): +1 hour offset
• Start date interpreted in Fincome: 02/01/2025 at 12 a.m.
• Result: the MRR only appears from February.

How to avoid a "gap" in the MRR

If you observe a one-day offset due to the time zone: ➡️ Simply set the previous period's end to the 1st of the following month to ensure continuity without a "gap" in the MRR.

Example:
If your previous period ends on 01/31/2025, instead enter 02/01/2025 as the period end. This way, the MRR will flow smoothly from one month to the next.

Best practices

• Check that your invoice dates are consistent with your local time zone.
• If you import data from an external tool (Stripe, Pennylane, etc.), make sure the exported dates are aligned to the same time zone.
• When in doubt, always prefer "round" times (e.g. 00:00) to avoid one-day offsets.
