Confessions of a subscription CFO

Coping with the business challenges of growth using Sage Intacct

You know it all too well. But, if you’re like many, you hesitate to admit the reality: It just isn’t easy being a CFO. Your company relies on you for financial leadership, but as your organisation grows, so do the challenges—board reporting, SaaS metrics, managing burn, faster closes, smarter revenue management, deeper analyses, regulatory compliance, multinational consolidations. Add it up, and the headaches and sleepless nights are almost inescapable. If outdated or constrained financial software infrastructure has held you back, there’s a better way. Sage Intacct offers powerful, flexible, best-in-class financial management solutions that are transforming the way small and medium-sized companies do
subscription billing, manage deferred revenue, and produce SaaS metrics. In other words, Sage Intacct helps Subscription CFOs make a difference.

“We didn’t want our finance people wasted on just doing consolidations, we wanted their time and skills to be focused on analyzing results to grow the business. What’s great is that we’re doing all of this with a pretty tight team and don’t have to add non-revenue producing overhead before it’s necessary. Sage Intacct makes that possible, yet we’re still just scratching the surface of the system’s capabilities.”
