Dear CFO by Phoenix Strategy Group

For saas

Your SaaS metrics, current every morning.

Dear CFO connects Stripe subscriptions and your CRM to your accounting, so MRR, churn, pipeline and runway come from the same live data instead of a board-deck spreadsheet.

The problem

The board deck is always a month old

Subscriptions live in Stripe, pipeline in the CRM and spend in the books. Every month someone rebuilds MRR, churn and runway by hand, and every version disagrees a little.

  • Subscriptions and invoices in Stripe
  • Pipeline in HubSpot or Salesforce
  • Spend and payroll in the books

Product usage from your own database can come in through BigQuery.

Questions

Dear CFO for saas companies

Where does MRR come from?

From your Stripe subscriptions, subscription items and invoices, synced into the same place as your books.

Can I include product usage data?

Yes. Save a query in BigQuery and its results sit next to Stripe, your CRM and your accounting.

Can the board pack use these numbers?

Yes. Metrics are defined once and kept current, so the same figures appear on dashboards, in the model and in answers from the AI analyst.
