Date: September 10, 2025 at 11 am PST / 2 pm EST

Prep call: August 26, 2025 at 3 pm EST

Format: 30 minute conversation with Jason + 15 minutes of audience Q&A

Target Audience: CFOs, finance directors, controllers, FP&A leads, and revenue operations managers at subscription-based and SaaS companies

Description:
Join Salvatore Tirabassi (Managing Director at CFO Pro+Analytics and Fractional CFO) as he discusses why subscription-led growth demands a fundamentally different finance architecture. Contrast of the legacy model, where billing systems, revenue-recognition logic, and the ERP all lived in one suite to today, where you treat your cloud ERP as “just the GL” and layer on specialized sub-ledgers (SLGs) for subscription billing, churn analysis, and deferred revenue management.

[Could also be how to mature into a system with best of breed systems that are low cost and easy to implement to give you what used to be found in hard and expensive to implement monolithic ERPs.]

Salvatore will walk through a blueprint for designing a tech stack optimized for recurring revenue and share his insights on what the ideal finance tech stack is for companies.
