BS Forecasting for software companies
Hi everyone,
Few weeks ago I posted a question about LBO modeling for SaaS companies and I appreciated the responses. As I am digging into forecasting financials some questions are surfacing:
-
When you are forecasting key BS items (AR, AP, Deferred revenue), do you use the traditional methods (% of revenue or COGS) or are there other drivers?
-
Are there other things to consider when forecasting financials / building a 3-statement model for SaaS companies?
You should check out some VCs blog posts / VC Financial models. Tons of great templates over there. You will also have different metrics such as churn and customer cohort, lifetime value etc. PM me and i can send you a sample model. Once this base mode is set then you should build upon the traditional LBO model
Just PMed you.
Hey, would you mind sharing the model with me as well. Sincerely appreciate it.
