The founders of this business are accountants. But we don't want to do this ourselves. We seek an experienced financial modeler and analyst to create a comprehensive 5-year financial projection model to support fundraising and strategic planning efforts for an early-stage B2B SaaS startup. The model should include detailed projections for revenue, costs, operating expenses, cash flow, and profit/loss and balance sheets. Revenue projections must be segmented by product/service and customer industry with thoughtful assumptions for growth rates, churn, pricing, and sales/marketing efficiency. Expense forecasts should account for headcount needs by department, equipment/infrastructure costs, third party services, and overhead. Capital requirements and cash balance projections over the 5-year horizon must also be modeled. Monthly and annual reporting views of the KPIs are required, in graphical form. The successful candidate will have proven experience creating financial models for SaaS or technology companies. Creation of well-documented, user-friendly models in Excel that clearly communicate assumptions and implications is essential. We attach our P&L format from Xero which we wish to replicate, and feed the budget numbers from the model back into Xero. We will also require SaaS metrics including CAC, Cost of ARR, LTV, LTV to CAC Ratio, CAC Payback Period, Margins, ROSE Metric, ACS. Once the model is built and populated, you should allow three further iterations of numbers within your quote. |
