ARR and MRR cohort analysis, churn and expansion revenue modelling, CAC and LTV tracking, SaaS metrics dashboards, and R&D capitalisation for technology and SaaS companies.
Subscription economics invert traditional finance: revenue is earned over time while acquisition cost is paid upfront, making growth itself a consumer of cash. The metrics that matter — ARR movement, net revenue retention, churn by cohort, CAC payback, the Rule of 40 — do not exist in a standard chart of accounts; they must be constructed, governed, and reconciled deliberately. Pricing and packaging decisions ripple through NRR for years. Investors have institutionalised these benchmarks, and a company that reports them loosely is discounted on credibility before it is discounted on performance. World-class SaaS finance is a genuine competitive weapon: it tells you which growth is worth buying.
Best-in-class SaaS companies govern ARR with accounting-grade rigour: waterfalls reconciled to billing, NRR decomposed by cohort and segment, CAC payback managed by channel, and the Rule of 40 treated as a strategic constraint. Board reporting meets institutional-investor standards every quarter.
Efficient growth — proven by your own metrics — is what commands premium multiples: companies that demonstrate strong NRR and disciplined CAC raise more, dilute less, and exit better.
