As the CFO of a mid sized SaaS company I understand the importance and complexity in calculating the metrics of our business. Ben Murray's class is a must have for CEOs and CFO in understanding the important benchmark and financial presentations of the business. Aside from the materials Ben's community is a constant source of answers to tricky questions going forward. An incredibly helpful course to have taken

I recently completed the SaaS Metrics Foundation Live course and it was great. As a SaaS CFO for a number of years, it was good to see a system and framework for SaaS metrics that clearly defined explained and categorized these metrics. Lastly I should mention that Ben is very knowledgeable and is a great instructor.

As VP of Ops for a high-growth SaaS business, it was critical for me to have a deep understanding of the financial drivers and KPIs for the business. Sure, there are plenty of free resources online, but Ben's SaaS metrics class offers a structured and efficient walkthrough of how to think of a SaaS business. It has provided great insight and value, and saved me a ton of time.

I recently attended the SaaS CFO Course and I have to say it is probably the best money I’ve ever spent on training! Anyone running a start-up or scale-up SaaS business should either attend themselves or get their FD/CFO to attend without hesitation. The knowledge I gained is priceless, understanding the nuances around SaaS metrics and KPI’s will avoid difficult investor conversations down the line, and the Excel templates and benchmarking tools have enabled me to fine tune our business model and projections in line with industry benchmarks.

After searching for answers to SaaS metrics, I came across the SaaS CFO. I followed Ben for a few months since he had good content and knowledge. I was excited to see Ben offer the SaaS Academy and immediately signed up. There are very few CFO's who actually get metrics and how to use them. I was not disappointed! I was very impressed with the detail, quality of answers and depth of knowledge! I feel I gained the depth of how to develop the key metrics and the understanding of how to use the metrics. This is the first place I have seen such depth and quality. Thank you Ben.

I recently completed a SaaS course, and it was an amazing experience! This course is suitable for beginners and advanced learners alike who are interested in gaining a deeper understanding of SaaS. Ben, was fantastic at explaining the concepts in a clear and concise manner, making it easy for everyone in the class to understand. What I found most valuable about the course was the comprehensive knowledge it provided. I learned everything I needed to know about SaaS, from the basics to more advanced concepts. Ben provided us with real-world examples, which made it easier for me to apply what I learned to my day-to-day work. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to gain a solid understanding of SaaS. I feel much more confident in my knowledge of SaaS now than before taking the course. Thanks, Ben, for an incredible learning experience!

My company is 7.5 years old and we have successfully made the 'pivot' from a consulting company to a SaaS+ company while building our Healthcare Data Interoperability Platform. I've done a fair amount of finance and accounting over my career, but what I realized after making this pivot was that I just didn't have the information that other SaaS companies had, and it was driving me nuts. Not only did I not have a straight-forward way of calculating the metrics I needed, I was unable to benchmark my company against others in our field. I started researching and ran across Ben's website and the plethora of information he provides. That lead me to look into his SaaSCFO course, and after doing a pretty detailed investigation, I elected to take the course, and I enrolled my Director of Finance as well. We attended the January 23 cohort for six weeks. Honestly, I was blown away. From the very beginning, it became clear why I was struggling. Like many, I was using a standard QB Chart of Accounts to produce a standard P&L & Balance Sheet, and that just flat does not work. Ben's advise was clear, it made sense, it was very applicable the problems we were facing. The only thing I don't like about taking the course is that we had a fair amount of restatement to do on our chart of accounts to get them where they need to be. I can tell you that, as a result of Ben's course, we now have a very SaaS compliant accounting system, and I'm already creating the historical metrics and future projections that I've needed for a very long time. If your interested in getting your SaaS company's books right, and need those metrics anywhere near as much as I did, do yourself a big favor and take Ben's SaaSCFO course. You'll be glad you did. Maybe even as glad as I am.
