Model ARR, hiring ramps, and burn rate together so you can scale without guessing.
Your Board Wants ARR, Your VP Wants Headcount

Centage gives tech CFOs and finance leaders a platform that models subscription revenue, hiring ramps, and burn rate together, so you can plan confidently through every stage of growth.
Industry Challenges
Subscription Revenue
MRR/ARR modeling with churn, expansion, and contraction requires dynamic models that update as assumptions change.
R&D Budgeting
Engineering costs and capitalization decisions demand careful tracking of project hours and qualifying activities.
Aggressive Hiring
Scaling teams rapidly while managing burn rate means every hire must be modeled with start dates, ramp times, and loaded costs.
Multi-Product Reporting
Understanding profitability by product line requires precise revenue attribution and shared cost allocation.
SaaS Metrics
Tracking KPIs like LTV, CAC, and net retention alongside financial data is essential for board reporting and fundraising.
Cash Flow Management
Monitoring burn rate and runway is critical—especially between funding rounds when every month matters.

Real-World Scenario
The Challenge
A Series B SaaS company projecting growth from $8M to $15M ARR needs to model hiring 40 engineers while maintaining 18 months of runway—and present the plan to its board with confidence.
The Centage Solution
Finance builds a hiring ramp model with staggered start dates and compensation packages, ties it to ARR growth assumptions with churn scenarios, and monitors runway impact in real time.
The Outcome
The CFO presents three scenarios to the board—aggressive, moderate, and conservative—each showing the interplay between hiring speed, ARR growth, and runway. The board approves the moderate plan with clear milestones.
