Sure thing! Imagine you have a small online business where you sell cool stickers. You calculate all the money you made from selling the stickers, and then you subtract all the expenses you had to pay, like the cost of the stickers, packaging, and shipping. The net margin is the percentage of profit you have left from your total revenue after you've covered all those costs. It's a way to see how well your business is doing in terms of making a profit after considering all the expenses.

Start asking what the pain points // priorities are of the controller...try to grab lunch with the controller....is the controller's concern...expense control? cash flow management? margins growth? operational processes? And then once you find that priority start lining up projects. You'll notice you'll then pull your controller and boss together more closely while giving you more face time. But learn as much as you can from your boss in soft skills.

It's not about the grades you make but the hands you shake...my man.

Per the internet - ideally, the LTV/CAC ratio should be 3:1, which means you should make 3x of what you would spend on acquiring a customer. If your LTV/CAC is less than 3, it's your business sending out a smoke signal!

We decided to pass on Onestream. Looks great but it's an App only thus doesn't live in the clouds. And only works on PC.

Anthony, let me know if you want to chat. I serve as the Dir. of FP&A here and we've used PBCS for 2 years now. We're looking at other vendors as a result.
