Most SaaS financial models are either a nightmare or a joke. Some are too complex; a maze of broken formulas only one person understands.

Everything that matters: ARR, churn, revenue retention, margins, no fluff. ?? Easy to use, easy to trust: A connected model with built-in checks to ensure your 3 statements are always balanced. Clear structure with separate sheets for assumptions, actuals, and P&L. ?? Metrics at a glance: A clean dashboard with ARR waterfall, revenue trends, and profitability. Whether you're presenting to investors or planning your next quarter, you'll have answers at your fingertips. Want to take it for a spin?

We’re six weeks into the year, and I am already thinking about Q1 board meetings. Here’s why: Most of us will walk into those meetings armed with our actuals vs. budget comparisons. But if that's all you're showing, you're missing a massive opportunity. The game-changer? Benchmark data. I've sat on both sides of the board table, and I can tell you this: the most engaging discussions happen when companies show not just how they're tracking against their own targets, but how they stack up against the market. Think about it: 1. Your sales efficiency (magic number) is 0.9. Is that good? Depends if your peers are at 0.7 or 1.2. 2. Your R&D spend is 25% of revenue. High or low? Let's see what the top quartile in your sector and stage of company look like. 3. Your net retention is 110%. Solid? Sure. But if the best in your space are at 130%, you’re leaving money on the table. It isn't just about metrics. It's about a narrative. It's about showing your board you have a pulse on the market, beyond your spreadsheets. And here’s the good news: Benchmark data has never been more accessible. OPEXEngine by Bain & Company, Benchmarkit, Meritech Capital, Battery Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, ICONIQ Capital, Andreessen Horowitz; there's quality benchmark data out there for nearly every metric that matters. So before your Q1 board meeting, try this: Pick your three most critical metrics. Find the benchmarks for them. Add it to your deck. Watch how it changes your board conversation from "here's what we did" to "here's where we stand and what we’ll be doing next.” What metrics would you benchmark first? #benchmarks #cfo #fpna
