The GTM finance forecast that breaks every month

The situation this course is for

Every month, the revenue forecast gets rebuilt, new inputs, new assumptions, new formatting, because the model can’t survive stakeholder feedback, product motion changes, or even a simple ownership handoff. The result? A recurring time sink that erodes credibility and delays strategic decisions.

Who this is for

Head of GTM Finance at a high-growth SaaS company, responsible for revenue planning, sales compensation alignment, and cross-functional forecasting

Who this is not for

Individual contributors not owning forecasting end-to-end, or finance leaders in non-SaaS environments without product-led growth dynamics

What you walk away with

  • Replace your fragile spreadsheet with a versioned, stakeholder-validated forecasting model
  • Automate data ingestion from CRM and billing systems using lightweight logic trees
  • Build a change-handling protocol so updates don’t break assumptions
  • Create a single source of truth that survives team turnover
  • Deliver a forecast that holds up through three revision cycles without rework

How this maps to your situation

  • When the forecast breaks after first stakeholder review
  • When sales leadership demands a new scenario mid-cycle
  • When product changes invalidate pricing assumptions
  • When onboarding a new analyst to the model

Before vs. after

Before
A forecast rebuilt from scratch every month, fragile to feedback, and dependent on tribal knowledge.
After
A stable, versioned model that evolves without breaking, trusted by leadership and maintainable by the team.

If nothing changes
