I found a new very promising looking vendor. And I quote from their website....
PaySimple is an easy to use web-based payment processing application providing a complete payment gateway for electronic check (e-check) processing, ACH direct-debit processing, credit card processing, recurring billing, online bill-pay, and check processing via phone or online.
PaySimple provides one simple time and money saving solution for a variety of credit card and ACH payment processing needs:
RECURRING BILLING

Merchant Accounts and accounting
We just finished the final kickoff meeting for the accounting team for 2009. We implemented a series of changes about how we get our accounting done.
Most significantly, we are considering the receipt of payment at our merchant account vendor account to be revenue. Previously, the accounting system recognized revenue only when the funds were transfered from my merchant account into my bank account. The result was that our revenues appeared uneven. For example, January 2009 ended with a three day holiday. So all the funds received by us from Friday Jan 27 until Tuesday, February 1st were deposited on the first.
So 10% of our January revenues would have, under our old system, been reported in February so our accounts were arbitrarily uneven. New system more accurately reflects revenues.
