Choose the right perspective
Match the person to your customer, since finance at a company selling to K-12 districts differs from finance at a company selling training software to employers. Check each person's earlier roles too, because CFOs who rose inside an edtech company and those hired from other software or finance roles bring different experience.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you forecast bookings and cash when most school purchasing happens in a few months of the year?
- 02Which renewal and usage metrics do you watch to judge the health of an edtech subscription business?
