Von Donald Trump über die AfD bis zur FPÖ wettern rechte Parteien gegen Windkraftanlagen. Die Rhetorik ist scharf, die Versprechen radikal: Neue Projekte verhindert werden, oder bestehende Anlagen gar abgerissen werden. Doch hinter der Empörung über Landschaftsverschandelung und Vogelsterben stecken oft ganz andere Motive. Benedikt Narodoslawsky und Lukas Kapeller vom STANDARD zeichnen nach, wie sich die FPÖ vom Befürworter erneuerbarer Energien zur schärfsten Kritikerin gewandelt hat. Sie erklären die Verbindungen zu Klimawandelleugnern und fossiler Industrie und analysieren am Fall Kärnten, wie eine Volksbefragung den Windkraftausbau praktisch zum Erliegen gebracht hat.

Die Journalisten Cathrin Kahlweit (Süddeutsche Zeitung) und Michael Fleischhacker (ServusTV) debattieren mit Falter-Chefredakteur Florian Klenk über die innenpolitische Dynamik an der Jahreswende 2025/2026.

Mejorcita, hoy hacemos balance de un año que ha sido un auténtico terremoto político, social y cultural. 2025 nos deja guerras que no acaban, escándalos que huelen a podrido y movimientos que nos recuerdan que la dignidad se defiende en la calle. Vamos a repasarlo todo para que entres en 2026 con la cabeza bien puesta. Este año no hemos apartado la mirada de Gaza: el alto el fuego que nunca fue, la “normalización” de la guerra permanente y un plan de paz hecho a medida de Israel. Mientras tanto, la Flotilla de la Libertad y las protestas en la Vuelta Ciclista nos devolvieron algo de esperanza. La participación de Israel en Eurovisión hace que España se plante y abandone el festival tras 65 años por la participación de Israel. RTVE promete un Benidorm Fest más ambicioso que nunca. Los casos de corrupción XXL: Ábalos y Koldo en prisión provisional por el caso mascarillas, Mazón dimite tras la DANA y el fiscal general condenado en un hecho sin precedentes. Spoiler: la justicia no está para tirar cohetes. Sanidad en crisis: Andalucía lidera listas de espera, escándalo en los cribados de cáncer de mama y huelga médica histórica en diciembre. ¿Quién cuida a quienes nos cuidan?En cuanto a educación: huelga universitaria en Madrid contra la infrafinanciación y la LESUC, privatización de la FP y represión de la protesta estudiantil. Y, por supuesto la vivienda: año de movilizaciones, huelgas de alquiler y la creación de Casa 47 para gestionar vivienda pública. Pero ojo: en 2026 vienen subidas brutales.

Financial consolidation has long been treated as a “back-office necessity,” but in today's complex, data-dense businesses, it's becoming a strategic engine. Craig Schiff, Founder and CEO of BPM Partners joins Melissa to unpack the evolution of consolidation, why it's resurging in importance, and how AI is reshaping both FP&A and controllership. Craig shares what companies are getting wrong, why consolidation and planning belong together and the trends he's seeing as organizations move from legacy systems, Excel-heavy processes and fragmented tools toward unified performance management. He also explains the critical connection between actuals, planning accuracy and strategic speed, and why more CFOs now lead with consolidation at the center of their data strategy. Discussed in This Episode: Critical features of modern financial close and consolidation software Building a unified finance tech stack AI in performance management: What CFOs need to know The future of close and consolidationFor CFO insights, episode show notes and exclusive blog content, visit thecfoshowpodcast.com.
In finance, success often means getting bigger, yet time and again, the market cheers when a huge company decides to intentionally break itself up. Why does spinning off a subsidiary so often unlock massive shareholder value?In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained on FinPod, we break down the strategic logic, mechanics, and critical financial challenges behind corporate spin-offs, making it essential listening for anyone in corporate strategy, M&A, or investor relations.Spinoff Mechanics & Value DriversA spin-off is a powerful, generally tax-free maneuver where the parent company distributes shares of a subsidiary directly to its existing shareholders, creating a fully independent "pure play" company.Here are the four main reasons this strategy often makes the total value of the combined entities much larger than the original conglomerate:Strategic Focus: Separation enables each management team to focus solely on their specific business model (e.g., utility cash flow vs. software growth), thereby removing internal friction and distraction. Valuation Re-Rating (Pure Play Effect): The market hates complexity (conglomerate discount). Breaking the company apart allows analysts to value each "pure play" unit against specific, comparable peers (such as healthcare vs. aviation), instantly increasing the collective value. Better Incentives: Boards can tailor executive compensation (e.g., high stock options for a growth startup) to attract and retain specialized talent, which was impossible under the slow-growth parent. Capital Allocation Freedom: Separated companies can develop capital plans tailored to their specific needs (e.g., one invests billions in 5G, while the other focuses solely on dividends), thereby eliminating internal competition for resources.Case Studies: Breaking Up for GrowthWe examine pivotal spin-offs that redefined industries:PayPal & eBay (2015): PayPal, tethered to the eBay marketplace, was unable to partner with rivals like Amazon. Independence enabled it to launch an aggressive partnership blitz, resulting in its market cap more than doubling in three years due to the strategic freedom it afforded.AT&T & Warner Media (2022): Driven by massive capital allocation issues (feeding both the capital-intensive telecom core and the cash-burning streaming empire). The spin-off allowed AT&T to focus on paying down debt and 5G buildout.General Electric (GE): The ultimate pure play story. Separating the conglomerate into three focused businesses (Aviation, Healthcare, Energy) is projected to unlock significantly higher collective value by removing the devastating conglomerate discount.The Finance Challenge: Pitfalls and ExecutionThe strategy is powerful, but the execution is risky. Finance teams (FP&A, Treasury) must nail these critical areas:Standalone Viability: Building full financial statements from scratch to ensure the new company can survive and thrive without the parent's scale and support. Stranded Costs / Dis-Synergies: The hidden risk where the cost of duplicating shared services (IT, HR, accounting) and building new infrastructure is underestimated, potentially wiping out the expected value.Capital Structure Design: Carefully dividing the corporate debt to ensure both companies emerge with a healthy credit rating and leverage profile that fits their new strategic mission. Investor Communication: Crafting a crystal-clear narrative for investors, providing honest estimates for dis-synergy costs, and proving the math with a robust Sum-of-the-Parts (SOTP) valuation.The next time a spin-off is announced, look past the headlines: Check the clarity of the dis-synergy estimates and whether the new capital structure makes strategic sense. Radical simplification and the quest for pure play are often the most powerful tools in the corporate strategy playbook.

Dans cet épisode du podcast Business Partner, Jonathan reçoit Maxime KHATSIANOVICH ancien auditeur chez PwC devenu CFO en startup, pour un échange dense, authentique et extrêmement pratique pour tous les DAF, CFO et contrôleurs de gestion qui évoluent dans des environnements en transformation.Maxime partage les coulisses de six années passées chez The Plug, une startup en hyper-croissance spécialisée dans la recharge de véhicules électriques. Il raconte comment il a dû construire la fonction finance from scratch : recrutement, structuration comptable, création du pôle FP&A, gestion du corporate finance, modélisation, pricing, pilotage commercial… mais aussi RH, juridique, opérationnel — car en startup, un CFO doit être un généraliste capable d'absorber tous les sujets que le CEO ne peut pas gérer.L'épisode plonge également dans la réalité des levées de fonds :Comment bâtir un business plan crédible,Comment gérer les attentes des investisseurs,Comment arbitrer croissance vs rentabilité dans un contexte de cash burn,Pourquoi la transparence, la pédagogie et les bons rituels de communication sont indispensables avec un fonds.Maxime dévoile ce qu'on ne dit jamais dans les manuels : un bon CFO doit être capable de synthétiser en quelques minutes les informations clés et les décisions possibles — parce que dans une startup, chaque jour de retard coûte cher.Enfin, l'épisode s'ouvre sur le marché du CFO part-time, la montée du freelancing dans la finance, l'évolution du rapport au CDI, et la nécessité — pour tout professionnel de la finance — de construire son réseau bien avant d'en avoir besoin. Maxime explique pourquoi il se lance aujourd'hui dans l'indépendance, ce qu'il attend de cette transition et pourquoi elle représente une opportunité unique d'apprendre ce que la vie salariée ne permet jamais d'acquérir.Un épisode riche, concret, inspirant, qui montre le CFO moderne dans toute sa complexité : business partner, data-curious, créateur de structure, pilote du cash, interlocuteur des investisseurs et… parfois DRH improvisé.Je m'appelle Jonathan Plateau. Je suis passé par EY, Valeo et Safran et j'essaye d'engager des échanges et des réflexions sur nos métiers de la finance.Ma mission : vous offrir une expérience éducative, divertissante et parfois surprenante.Ce podcast est fait pour les directeurs financiers (DAF, CFO), les contrôleurs de gestion, qu'ils soient juniors ou confirmés, et qui souhaitent profiter des échanges entre pairs pour enrichir leur pratique de la finance au quotidien et tendre vers le business partner.Joignez-vous à notre communauté passionnée qui explore chaque facette du contrôle de gestion et du business partner.N'oubliez pas que la finance, c'est aussi une question de mindset !N'hésitez pas à partager vos interrogations sur nos discussions ou sur le podcast.

En la actualidad en España hay cerca de 150.000 puestos de trabajo que han quedado vacantes, y de ellos un tercio pertenece al sector público. Carlos Victoria asegura que uno de las causas que generan estos puestos vacantes son los desajustes en competencias. En el caso de los puestos digitales las vacantes alcanzan los 120.000 puestos y es que según Victoria el sector digital es de los que mayores problemas presenta por las condiciones laborales ya que se necesita un buen sueldo para atraer el talento. La formación en estos puestos es muy importante por lo que la Universidad lanza las microcredenciales para adaptarse a esas necesidades del mercado laboral.El sector de la construcción es otro de los sectores que no encuentra profesionales sobre todo, explica Carlos Victoria por la dificultad de las condiciones de trabajo. "En este sentido la FP dual está proporcionando mucha mano de obra cualificada"

Excel Data Visualization & Dashboards: Turn Raw Data into Executive-Ready StoriesExcel is the foundational tool for analysis, but simply having data isn't enough; you need to tell the story behind the numbers.In this episode of What's New at CFI on FinPod, CEO Tim Vipond introduces the new Excel Data Visualization and Dashboards course. Learn how to transform raw data into clean, clear, and powerful visuals that drive business decisions, no matter your industry.This course is a masterclass in building executive-ready dashboards from scratch, making it essential for FP&A, Marketing, Operations, and all analytical roles.This episode covers:The Power of Excel: Why Excel remains the ultimate "blank canvas" for visualization and the foundational skill set for tools like Power BI or Tableau.Mastering the Visual Toolkit: Learn to build and use advanced charts like Waterfall Charts (for variance analysis), Combo Charts (for margin vs. revenue), Sparklines, and Football Field Charts (for valuation ranges).End-to-End Dashboard Creation: Gain the confidence to plan, set up, and build complete, beautiful dashboards that are clearly sectioned, titled, and formatted for maximum impact.Highlighting Insights: The critical skill of moving beyond just building a chart to actively using color, arrows, and annotations to highlight the specific insights that drive business change (e.g., maximizing margins or accelerating growth).Developing Taste: Tim shares career advice on how to develop "good taste" in data visualization by actively seeking out and being inspired by varied internal and external reports (pitch decks, board reports, operations decks).
This week, we're joined by Richie Mashiko - Head of Beacon at Iris Finance for a full breakdown of how BFCM played out across their businesses. Together, the group recaps what actually drove performance this year, from media-mix diversification and top-of-funnel investment to traffic dynamics, conversion-rate behavior, and how different brand sizes approached Cyber Five strategy.From there, Richie walks through his forecasting philosophy - including how he builds bottoms-up financial models, how diminishing returns shape CAC and forecasting assumptions, and how finance and marketing need to stay aligned around realistic growth expectations. The group also dives into contribution margin, AMER, customer mix, and why so many brands forecast incorrectly when marketing isn't part of the planning process.They then unpack the levers that actually make an ecommerce business profitable: cohort behavior, scaling past category saturation, interpreting flat conversion rates alongside surging traffic, and what contribution dollars really tell you. Richie shares lessons learned from She's Birdie's rebuild year and how smaller brands can apply the same financial discipline as companies operating at nine-figure scale.If you're trying to understand your BFCM results, build a forecast that reflects reality, or get finance and marketing speaking the same language, this episode is a must-listen.If you have a question for the MOperators Hotline, click the link to be in with a chance of it being discussed on the show: https://forms.gle/1W7nKoNK5Zakm1Xv6Chapters:00:00:00 - Introduction00:06:40 - BFCM recap00:24:47 - Media Mix Strategy00:41:52 - International Markets00:53:44 - FP&A Background01:07:05 - Building a ForecastPowered by:Motion.https://motionapp.com/pricing?utm_source=marketing-operators-podcast&utm_medium=paidsponsor&utm_campaign=march-2024-ad-readshttps://motionapp.com/creative-trendsPrescient AI.https://www.prescientai.com/operatorsRichpanel.https://www.richpanel.com/?utm_source=MO&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=ytdescAftersell.https://www.aftersell.com/operatorsHaus.http://Haus.io/operatorsSubscribe to the 9 Operators Podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/@Operators9Subscribe to the Finance Operators Podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/@FinanceOperatorsFOPSSign up to the 9 Operators newsletter here: https://9operators.com/

L'Autriche célèbre, cette année, les 30 ans de son adhésion à l'Union européenne. La République alpine de 9 millions d'habitants a, en effet, adhéré à l'UE en 1995 et trois décennies plus tard, un constat s'impose : l'Autriche profite largement de son adhésion sur le plan économique. De notre correspondante à Vienne, Gabriel Felbermayr, directeur de l'Institut de recherche économique Wifo, voit trois avantages essentiels de cette adhésion pour l'Autriche : « Il y a d'abord, évidemment, le marché intérieur [européen]. Si l'Autriche ne dépendait que de son propre marché, les entreprises ne pourraient pas se spécialiser autant. Cela est beaucoup plus vrai pour les petits pays comme l'Autriche que pour les grands comme la France. Il y a aussi l'espace Schengen et enfin, la politique monétaire européenne. Elle est très importante pour un pays comme l'Autriche, qui s'était auparavant aligné sur le mark allemand, mais qui n'avait pas son mot à dire. » Gabriel Felbermayr a mené une étude pour Wifo dans laquelle il quantifie ces avantages et donc ce que le pays perdrait s'il y avait un « Öxit », le terme qui désigne une sortie de l'Autriche de l'UE. Et les résultats sont sans appel : « On arrive, selon nos calculs, à un effet positif de l'adhésion de l'Autriche à l'UE qui se situe entre 7 et 8% du PIB. C'est beaucoup. Et comme l'Autriche est un pays riche, 7% représentent environ 4 000 euros par habitant. En Autriche, on critique souvent le fait que ces 4 000 euros ne sont pas gratuits, qu'il faut payer une contribution. Mais cette contribution est relativement faible. L'Autriche verse environ trois milliards d'euros à l'UE et en récupère deux milliards, soit une contribution nette d'un milliard. Nous avons 9 millions d'habitants, ce qui signifie que la contribution nette par habitant est d'environ 110 euros. On paie donc 110 euros et on en récupère 4 000, ce qui est un assez bon investissement ! » Une forte insatisfaction Pourtant, année après année, les enquêtes Eurobaromètre, études d'opinion réalisées à l'échelle de l'Union européenne, montrent l'insatisfaction des Autrichiens vis-à-vis de l'Europe. Dans la plus récente, publiée en septembre 2025, seuls 60% d'entre eux se disent convaincus que leur pays bénéficie de son adhésion à l'UE contre une moyenne de 73% dans l'ensemble de l'Union européenne. Et seuls 38% des Autrichiens ont une opinion positive de l'UE. L'Autriche est ainsi l'un des pays les plus insatisfaits des 27. Un thème cristallise ce mécontentement et est, selon cette étude, la priorité pour les Autrichiens : l'immigration. On le constate à Nickelsdorf, village de moins de 2 000 habitants, situé à la frontière avec la Hongrie, dans la région autrichienne du Burgenland. En 2015, lors de ce qu'on a appelé « la crise des réfugiés », ce village a été l'un des principaux points de passage. En quelques semaines, 300 000 réfugiés, principalement originaires de Syrie, d'Afghanistan et d'Irak, sont arrivés dans ce village, depuis la Hongrie - jusqu'à 20 000 par jour au plus fort de la vague. Des tentes ont été installées, des moyens de transport déployés, car ces réfugiés voulaient gagner l'ouest de l'Europe, notamment l'Allemagne. Le maire social-démocrate de la commune depuis près de 30 ans, Gerhard Zapfl, reconnaît qu'ils se sont sentis seuls à l'époque pour faire face à cette situation d'urgence, déplorant le manque de stratégie coordonnée des 27 États européens : « En 2015, l'Union européenne n'avait pas de réponse à ce problème et, jusqu'à présent, je constate qu'elle n'en a toujours pas. » Cette crise a, selon lui, laissé des traces durables à Nickelsdorf, mais aussi dans toute l'Autriche. « La conséquence de cette vague de réfugiés est que le scepticisme à l'égard des étrangers n'a cessé d'augmenter. Et cette situation peut être instrumentalisée. C'est le cas en Autriche avec le parti d'extrême droite FPÖ, qui ramène tous les sujets qui touchent le pays à l'immigration », affirme-t-il, ajoutant que ce scepticisme concerne aussi l'Union européenne. « L'UE échoue totalement sur cette question et cela déçoit un très grand nombre de personnes. » Intéresser les jeunes à l'UE Le FPÖ est actuellement dans l'opposition, mais il est le premier parti dans les sondages, crédité d'environ 35% des intentions de vote. Kevin dit se reconnaître dans ce parti. Ce jeune homme vit à Sattledt en Haute-Autriche, commune de moins de 3 000 habitants « où tout le monde se connaît » et où il a ouvert un café, il y a deux ans. « L'idée d'une union entre les pays européens, du point de vue d'une communauté économique, d'un projet de paix, est quelque chose de très positif », reconnaît-il. Mais s'il se dit aujourd'hui très critique de l'Union européenne, c'est avant tout, insiste-t-il, en raison de la politique migratoire de l'UE : « Nous ne parviendrons pas à maîtriser la situation si nous n'avons pas de protection aux frontières. [...] C'est typique de l'UE : nous discutons et négocions éternellement au lieu de prendre rapidement des mesures. » C'est pour comprendre cette insatisfaction des Autrichiens vis-à-vis de l'UE et la combattre que Rüya Buga parcourt l'Autriche depuis deux ans. Cette jeune bénévole de l'association ÖGfE anime des ateliers sur l'Union européenne dans les écoles, partout dans le pays. « J'entends souvent la réponse suivante de la part des élèves : "Ça ne m'intéresse pas." Mais alors, je leur réponds : "Tu es jeune, n'est-ce pas ? Tu aimerais peut-être déménager un jour, avoir un bon travail, pouvoir t'offrir certaines choses ? Tout ça, ce sont des sujets politiques qui influencent ta vie. Alors, cela doit t'intéresser d'une manière ou d'une autre." » Le but des ateliers qu'elle anime est de mieux faire connaître le travail de l'UE et ses effets concrets dans notre vie de tous les jours. Faire naître « une prise de conscience » car, conclut-elle, « nous vivons tous dans l'Union européenne et devons contribuer à la façonner. Parce que nous sommes la masse et ici, il s'agit de notre avenir. »
In episode #333, Ben answers a foundational SaaS metrics question: Should expansion revenue be included in your Lifetime Value (LTV) calculation? Ben walks through the correct LTV formula and highlights how misalignment between LTV and CAC can distort your LTV:CAC ratio. He also covers when expansion should be included. The episode provides a practical framework for SaaS founders, CFOs, and operators to ensure they calculate LTV accurately, compare it properly to CAC, and model unit economics using consistent, reliable inputs. Key Topics Covered The correct LTV formula using average new-customer MRR × subscription gross margin Why the churn input should align with dollar-based metrics using 1 – Gross Revenue Retention (GRR) Why expansion revenue is deliberately excluded from LTV in most SaaS models How including expansion artificially inflates the LTV:CAC ratio The cost mismatch between acquiring new customers (CAC) and generating expansion revenue When PLG motions justify including limited, time-bound expansion revenue in LTV How organic upgrades differ from sales-assisted expansion How SaaS+ businesses must adjust their LTV formula to account for usage revenue The role of gross margin in determining true unit economics The importance of aligning metric definitions when evaluating customer profitability Why This Matters This episode is essential for: SaaS founders calculating LTV for budgeting, pricing, and forecasting CFOs, controllers, and FP&A leaders managing unit economics and CAC payback Finance teams modelling customer profitability and revenue expansion Operators working in PLG environments assessing organic expansion patterns Investors reviewing LTV:CAC ratios in diligence and portfolio monitoring Anyone building SaaS Plus (subscription + usage) revenue models Resources Mentioned Ben's deep dive on SaaS+ LTV: https://www.thesaascfo.com/how-to-calculate-ltv-with-variable-revenue/ SaaS Metrics course: https://www.thesaasacademy.com/the-saas-metrics-foundation

In episode #332, Ben Murray explains why AI companies with high inference costs and lower gross profit margins must scale dramatically faster—up to 6x larger—to match the financial performance of a comparable SaaS business. Using simple financial modeling and the core principles of SaaS economics, Ben breaks down how AI margins, variable COGS, and TAM expansion interact to shape the financial trajectory of AI-native companies. This episode builds on a recent blog post and downloadable Excel model, both linked in the show notes. Key Topics Covered Why SaaS metrics still apply to AI companies, but with different economic inputs The impact of AI inference costs on gross margin and scalability Comparing a SaaS company at 80 percent gross margin vs. an AI company at 55 percent Why an AI company needs 6x the revenue to generate the same EBITDA How lower gross profit changes cash flow, EBITDA, and company valuation Why larger TAM and higher ACV potential in AI may offset lower margins How attacking labor budgets expands revenue opportunity for AI products The myth that SaaS metrics are “broken” for AI companies Understanding how COGS scale in SaaS vs. AI and why the math still works Evaluating OPEX profiles when modeling scale scenarios How to use the downloadable template to test scenarios for your own AI or SaaS business Why This Matters This episode is critical for: AI founders modeling their unit economics SaaS founders embedding AI and needing to understand margin changes CFOs, controllers, FP&A leaders, and finance teams navigating AI cost structures Investors assessing the scalability and valuation profile of AI companies Operators planning cash runway, revenue forecasts, and growth investment Understanding these financial dynamics early ensures you can forecast accurately, raise capital more effectively, and prepare for due diligence with confidence.

Die ÖVP ist im Umfragetief. Seit der vergangenen Nationalratswahl hat die Partei rund sieben Prozentpunkte verloren. Unterdessen befindet sich die FPÖ auf dem Höhenflug und kratzt an der 40-Prozentmarke. Wie kann die Volkspartei aus dem Abwehrtsrend wieder herauskommen und warum scheint die Partei derzeit nur mit sich selbst beschäftigt zu sein? Das analysieren Sandra Schieder aus der STANDARD Innenpolitik-Redaktion und Michael Völker, Leiter des Innenpolitikressorts beim STANDARD.
L'immigration reste un sujet qui divise en Autriche. Le pays est celui qui accueille le plus de réfugiés en Europe, par rapport au nombre d'habitants. Une situation exploitée par le parti d'extrême droite FPÖ arrivé en tête lors des dernières législatives. C'est sous sa pression que le regroupement familial a été suspendu pour six mois... lui aussi qui distille un discours anti-migrants sur les jeunes réfugiés qui seraient de potentiels criminels. La moitié des demandes d'asile concernent des mineurs et c'est plutôt la précarité de leur situation qui inquiète les associations. Car l'obligation de scolarisation n'a plus cours après l'âge de 15 ans. Résultat : de nombreux mineurs non accompagnés n'ont même pas la possibilité d'apprendre la langue allemande. Reportage à Vienne signé Céline Béal auprès d'une de ces associations qui a justement pris le relais de l'école... Et en Espagne aussi, la question des mineurs non accompagnés est un sujet très politique. Ils sont des milliers à être arrivés dans les enclaves de Ceuta et Melilla près de la côte marocaine ou aux Canaries. Les centres d'accueil sont débordés et ils attendent les autorisations des régions espagnoles pour venir sur le continent... Mais les transferts peinent à se concrétiser, Elise Gazengel. La transition de la voiture thermique vers la voiture électrique est à la peine en Allemagne. Le secteur automobile reste toujours un mastodonte dans le pays avec 800 000 emplois directs. Mais la concurrence chinoise est bien là, et si les consommateurs achètent de plus en plus de véhicules électriques, la croissance n'est pas encore suffisante.

In episode #331, Ben breaks down the true financial and economic differences between a SaaS company and an AI company. Inspired by a tweet claiming that “SaaS metrics are broken” and that AI companies generate more absolute profit per customer, Ben puts the theory to the test using real financial modeling. This episode walks through detailed revenue, gross margin, EBITDA, pricing power, TAM dynamics, and unit economics scenarios to determine whether AI companies actually outperform SaaS businesses. What This Episode Covers Why investors are questioning traditional SaaS metrics when evaluating AI companies The importance of recurring revenue fundamentals, whether the company is SaaS or AI A side-by-side comparison of a $1M SaaS company versus a $1M AI company Gross margin profiles: 80 percent SaaS vs. 55 percent AI How EBITDA changes when OpEx is held constant The revenue scale required for an AI company to match SaaS gross profit The revenue scale required for an AI company to match SaaS EBITDA Why AI companies need a TAM that is 6x larger How pricing power tied to labor displacement can shift AI unit economics Modeling ARPA increases to see when AI gross profit matches SaaS Why the underlying P&L structure does not change, but the inputs do How founders should think about forecasting and financial strategy when building AI-native products Why This Matters Founders embedding AI into SaaS products AI-native startups modeling their financial future CFOs and FP&A leaders forecasting revenue, cash, and margins Investors evaluating early-stage AI companies Operators building long-term company valuation strategies Ben emphasizes that the P&L, revenue streams, cost structure, and core KPI's still apply. What changes are the inputs—gross margin profile, pricing power, TAM, ACV, and scalability assumptions.

FinPod: Subscription Economics: Mastering LTV, Churn, and Recurring RevenueThe Subscription Economy has fundamentally reshaped corporate finance, moving the focus from one-time sales to long-term customer relationships. For professionals in FP&A, IR, and Corporate Strategy, understanding this shift is critical for forecasting and valuation.In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained on FinPod, we break down the unique financial mechanics of recurring revenue, examine key metrics, and explore how the most successful companies manage this model.The Core Shift: Value & Metrics: The subscription model swaps short-term cash hits for long-term predictability, which investors reward with higher valuation multiples.The Critical Ratio (LTV:CAC): We break down the relationship between Customer Lifetime Value (LTV) and Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC). Learn why the benchmark is LTV ≥ 3x CAC and the pitfalls of inflating LTV with non-recurring revenue.The Accounting Challenge: We explain revenue recognition (ASC 606/IFRS 15) and the concept of Deferred Revenue. Cash is received upfront, but revenue is recognized over time, which can make financial statements appear less profitable during high-growth periods.The Cautionary Tale: Analysis of MoviePass reveals the danger of fundamentally broken unit economics, where the cost to serve the customer (CoGS) was higher than the subscription fee, accelerating the path to bankruptcy.Strategic Playbooks & Success Stories: Successful companies master the mechanics of growth and retention, managing complex P&Ls and investor expectations:The Content Giant (Netflix): The challenge of balancing liquidity and leverage while managing billions in content amortization to drive retention and reduce churn (even a half-percent increase means millions in lost ARR).The SaaS Pioneer (Salesforce): Leveraging deferred revenue as an interest-free loan and obsessively tracking Net Revenue Retention (NRR), measuring if existing customers increase their spending over time.The Strategic Pivot (Adobe): The painful but successful transition from a lumpy license model to the predictable Creative Cloud subscription, which required transparent communication to manage market expectations.The Hybrid Model (Peloton, Amazon Prime): Understanding that the high-cost hardware sale is primarily a customer acquisition channel for the much more valuable, low-cost recurring content stream.The Modern Finance Mandate: Mastering the subscription model requires blending traditional corporate rigor with data science:Cohort Analysis: Shifting forecasting models to track groups of customers based on sign-up time, revealing granular insights into renewal rates, upgrades, and churn patterns.Proactive Scenario Modeling: Forward-looking planning (FP&A) must run rigorous sensitivity analyses, modeling the impact if CAC jumps 15% or if churn spikes, to prepare leadership for potential volatility.Communication is Strategy: Clearly articulating metrics like NRR and the path for LTV expansion to maintain premium public market valuations.
In episode #330, Ben explains one of the most common and costly SaaS finance mistakes: failing to allocate CAC between new and existing customers. This oversight leads to misleading KPI's, inaccurate CAC payback, flawed LTV to CAC ratios, and unreliable unit economics. Ben walks through exactly how to allocate CAC the right way, how to segment sales and marketing expenses, and why this matters for accurate revenue efficiency metrics and due diligence. Key Topics Covered Why fully burdened sales and marketing expenses are required for accurate CAC The danger of pushing all sales and marketing expenses into CAC without allocation How to allocate CAC between new customer acquisition and expansion How to segment sales teams (hunters vs. farmers) and avoid co-mingled headcount Allocating marketing spend based on acquisition channels Typical allocation benchmarks for sales (60-80% to new) and marketing (80-90% to new) Why accurate CAC is essential for CAC payback, LTV to CAC, and cost of ARR How the Cost of ARR provides a blended benchmark without requiring allocation Using allocation methods for businesses with multiple product lines or motions What You'll Learn How to correctly calculate CAC using fully burdened sales and marketing expenses How to evaluate marketing economics and sales efficiency with proper allocation Why unallocated CAC leads to distorted financial strategy and misleading KPI's How CAC allocation flows into CAC payback period, LTV to CAC, and ARR efficiency How to build a repeatable, defensible go-to-market metrics framework that withstands due diligence Who This Episode Is For SaaS founders scaling beyond early customer acquisition CFOs, FP&A leaders, and finance teams who own KPI modeling Operators who need accurate CAC, CAC payback, and LTV calculations Investors or advisors assessing revenue efficiency and go-to-market economics Related Resources SaaS Metrics Foundation course covering CAC, LTV, ARR, and unit economics: https://www.thesaasacademy.com/the-saas-metrics-foundation Coaching resources on building an accurate, SaaS-specific chart of accounts: https://www.thesaasacademy.com/saas-cfo-coaching
In this episode of Planning Aces, we spotlight FP&A insights from three CFOs leading innovation with discipline: Chris Sands (InvoiceCloud), Steve Sutter (Celigo), and Niels Boon (Cint). Each shares how finance is shaping AI, go-to-market models, and data-driven transformation without losing rigor. From building an “AI Ops” function and embedding finance in sales strategy, to piloting AI tools in small, staged experiments, these leaders treat innovation as a managed process. Our resident thought leader joins to connect the dots, emphasizing structure, clear metrics, and portfolio thinking as the new essentials of FP&A.Chris Sands leans into organizational design, reallocating talent into a formal AI Ops team and emphasizing change champions.Steve Sutter focuses on commercial mechanics, tying FP&A to sales economics, talent mix, and scale-up guardrails.Niels Boon emphasizes risk-staged innovation, using small pilots for operational wins while ring-fencing bold synthetic-data bets as long-horizon R&D.
Runway is building FP&A software that solves what Siqi Chen calls "the impossible problem"—matching Excel's speed and flexibility for thinking while functioning as an enterprise finance platform. In this episode of The Front Lines, wew sat down with Siqi to unpack Runway's mischief marketing playbook, why they enriched hot sauce pre-orders for lead gen, and how they're implementing AI as a coworker rather than a copilot. Topics Discussed: The unit economics behind the Burn Rate hot sauce campaign: $40K spend, 5K pre-orders, millions of views How Siqi justifies creative marketing spend as CEO and CFO: downside scenarios must break even, upside gets uncapped returns Naval's prescient 2020 advice: don't call it CFO AI because "everything's going to be AI anyway" Why finance buyers completely flipped on AI in 24 months—from indifferent to requiring it The three emotional triggers that drive FP&A tool adoption: frustration, resentment, anxiety Runway's approach to competing with Excel by changing abstraction layers, not features Building AI as a coworker (Ari) that lives in Slack, email, and comments—not a sidebar Why proof-of-human marketing compounds in value as AI slop becomes the baseline GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Model creative campaigns like venture bets with downside protection: Siqi's framework: $40K for 200 hot sauces wrapped with $100 bills equals 1.5 deals to break even at mid-five-figure ACVs. But the real play was generating 5,000 pre-orders, enriching the top 200, and converting ICP matches at "well above 1%" into pipeline. The math ensures you don't lose money in downside scenarios while creative execution delivers uncapped upside. For B2B founders: calculate your break-even deal count, then structure campaigns where lead gen mechanics provide a safety net under the brand play. Hire for proof of work, not creative credentials: When Cal (Taika co-founder) cold-emailed Siqi with designed mockups of Burn Rate hot sauce and Runway jerseys, that was the interview. Siqi was already a Taika customer who remembered the 415 phone number branding on the can. His advice: "There's no better resume than someone saying 'hey, I submitted a pull request' or 'here's some designs.'" For creative roles especially, evaluate the artifacts directly rather than filtering through credentials or pitches about what they could do. Sell to emotion-driven active searchers, not satisfied users: Runway identified three specific emotions that trigger FP&A software searches: frustration (manually pulling from 20+ data sources monthly, copy-pasting QuickBooks exports), resentment (department heads treating finance requests as "the stupid form" and ignoring deadlines), and anxiety (one error in 10 million Google Sheets cells breaks the entire model). These aren't rational pain points—they're emotional breaking points that drive active solution-seeking. Don't build go-to-market around convincing satisfied Excel users. Instead, optimize for discovery when these specific emotions converge. Treat abstraction changes as category creation opportunities: Siqi explains Airtable's success came from changing Excel's abstraction from cell to row, enabling databases and applications. Runway's insight: business planning requires abstraction changes that Excel can't provide—specifically treating the model as a "game engine" or "simulation of a business" rather than a spreadsheet. The category emerged from that technical insight, not from marketing positioning. For technical founders: identify where your abstraction layer change creates fundamentally new capabilities, then let category definition follow from customer language around those capabilities. Time creative marketing to buyer perception shifts: Two years ago, Runway demoed AI features to leads who "didn't care at all." Today, buyers "don't care what the AI feature is, they just care that it's AI"—a complete flip. Meanwhile, Runway's competitors use .ai domains while Runway uses .com, creating unexpected differentiation. The lesson: buyer perception of emerging technologies follows unpredictable curves. Creative marketing that feels early can land perfectly if timed to perception inflection points. Track not just technology maturity but buyer discourse and demand signals to time creative bets. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.
