The Systems CFO Newsletter
Bimonthly frameworks for finance leaders navigating complexity.
When pipeline, bookings, and recognized revenue tell three different stories, the CFO becomes the referee of a game nobody designed. RevOps β done well β is not a rebrand of sales ops. It is the architectural layer that aligns customer acquisition economics with financial reality.
Start with one metric: CAC payback by segment. If marketing and sales optimize top-of-funnel while finance optimizes gross margin, you get local maxima and a broken LTV model. Map the loop. Find the delay. Fix the handoff.
This issue includes a free unit economics template and three case patterns from PE-backed B2B SaaS.
