Introducing SaaS School: A Smarter Way to Learn SaaS Finance

Finance teams at SaaS companies are facing more complexity than ever before. Revenue recognition, deferred revenue tracking, MRR calculations, churn analysis—it’s a lot to navigate, especially when you’re also managing growth.

That’s why we created SaaS School—a free educational hub from TrueRev, built specifically for founders, CFOs, and finance leaders who want to master the business of SaaS.

What Is SaaS School?

SaaS School is your go-to resource for breaking down the most important (and often most misunderstood) financial topics in SaaS. Think of it as a modern finance playbook—designed for operators, not accountants.

We cover topics like:

  • 📊 How to Calculate MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue) the Right Way
  • 🔁 The Difference Between Bookings, Billings, and Backlog
  • 🧮 Why Revenue Recognition Gets So Complicated—and How to Fix It
  • 🧠 Key SaaS Metrics Every VC-Backed Startup Should Track
  • 🧰 Real-world case studies on moving beyond spreadsheets

Every article is built for clarity and speed—no fluff, just actionable insights you can apply to your business today.

Why We Built It

At TrueRev, we work with SaaS finance teams every day. We’ve seen how long it takes to manually track revenue, the pain of juggling multiple systems, and the uncertainty that comes from not having clear data.

We also know most SaaS leaders didn’t go to school for revenue recognition. So we built SaaS School to give you the tools, education, and confidence to get it right—without needing a CPA or a 500-page textbook.

Who It’s For

  • Early-stage founders who want to build a financial foundation investors will trust
  • CFOs and controllers juggling revenue operations across multiple tools
  • RevOps teams trying to bridge finance, sales, and systems
  • Operators who want to grow smarter—not just faster

Whether you’re bootstrapped, VC-backed, or just starting out, SaaS School is here to help you level up.
