During startup and early growth phases, SaaS companies often need to raise capital to fund their infrastructure and marketing needs. At this time, cash outflow is much greater than cash inflow; therefore, it is critical that CFOs receive accurate and timely, decision-focused metrics. These key metrics will help guide investment decisions to achieve the highest ROI and future growth potential.
