Course Description

If you’re like most when you first started in financial operations for your company, the company's primary focus was on selling and development. Metrics and analytics were a “nice to have”, but seemed secondary to the GAAP Financials you've long worked with. As your company grows, your needs change and metrics, such as MRR, ARR, and CLV, and analytical approaches, such as Cohort Analysis, take on much greater operational importance—and are simply a requirement if you’re talking to investors or an acquisition is in your future.

As a SaaS business, you need a combination of GAAP-compliant financials and subscription metrics to drive business decisions – financials alone are not enough. Accurate and real-time insight into MRR, ARR and general business momentum is needed so you have all the subscription metrics you need to run your business, automated and in one place.

SaaS metrics aren’t just about checking a box; they’re much deeper than that. Join us and learn the real value of metrics and how they impact your business.

Learning Objectives

  • Which metrics and analytics are most critical to growing your business and why.

  • How to scale SaaS metrics with your business.

  • How to discover hidden trends in your metrics.

  • The importance of leveraging a single source of truth.
