Standard Financial Model

The Standard Financial Model is now even more standard. Kind of.

One thing that has been difficult for me to communicate is that the Standard Financial Model is prebuilt for a variety of different business models. For the last couple years, one way in which I communicated that was with different product titles - SaaS Financial Model, Standard Financial Model for Ecommerce, etc. - to show that the model was prebuilt for those types of business models. But the reality is that it's always been the same model, just with different starting assumptions, but that it was prebuilt to fit those businesses equally well. And while I noted that at every chance, it was still a bit confusing to some.

To make that more clear, I've simplified the product suite down to just the Standard Financial Model. Same product, same name, same focus, just clearer messaging and communication. There's no Standard Model for SaaS, etc. because there is no need for one. What I started writing are a series of guides on how to use it for different types of revenue models. Here are a few detailed examples:

If there's a guide that would be helpful for you, please let me know, happy to help.
