Completed the course last evening and wanted to thank you for a very useful course. The organization of the course made it immediately implementable. I completed our company's own SaaS metrics dashboard while going lesson by lesson.

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.

Ease of signing up, clarity of presenting the material, and all around great value. The course covers key performance metrics that are unique to SaaS business models. It is complete with examples how to calculate and what to measure and track with the included excel templates. Super helpful in order to benchmark your company's performance to other SaaS industry leaders.

There Is No Course Like It!

As a practioner of SaaS metrics, I understand first hand how to source the data, apply the calculation, and make the metric useful to your business.
