Financial reports should include revenue, gross margin, EBITDA, cash burn rate, and runway, which provide a clear picture of financial health. For SaaS companies, Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) is crucial, while other industries might emphasize different metrics like customer acquisition cost (CAC) or lifetime value (LTV). Consistency and transparency in reporting these metrics over time are essential.
The frequency of updates depends on the company’s stage and investor preferences. Early-stage startups often report monthly to keep investors closely aligned, while growth-stage or established companies typically send quarterly updates. Significant events, like fundraising or market shifts, may warrant ad hoc reporting.
Financials are often shared via standardized templates in Excel, PDF summaries, or through platforms like Carta or Fundequate. Visual dashboards and charts can simplify complex data, making trends and key insights easily digestible, while email updates remain a standard method for distributing reports.
KPIs should align with the company’s strategic goals and investor expectations. Highlight industry-relevant KPIs such as churn rate for subscription businesses or average deal size for B2B companies, including context and trends over time. A balance between numeric data and explanatory commentary ensures clarity.
Investors expect a balance of high-level summaries (e.g., revenue and profit margins) with detailed insights into specific areas like cash flow or sales pipeline. Include supplementary breakdowns when significant deviations occur but avoid overwhelming with unnecessary detail.
Be transparent about changes to forecasts, providing clear explanations for variances. Highlight the factors influencing adjustments, such as market conditions or operational shifts, and outline the corrective actions or strategies being implemented to address challenges.
Include updates on strategic milestones (e.g., product launches), market trends, team changes, or partnerships that impact the company’s trajectory. These insights provide context for financial performance and reassure investors about the company’s overall progress.
Communicate challenges openly, with a focus on solutions. Explain the reasons behind missed targets, such as market fluctuations or operational delays, and outline specific corrective actions being taken. Demonstrating accountability builds trust with investors.
Establish a centralized system for tracking investor communications, such as a CRM tool or a dedicated investor relations contact. Promptly address queries, provide clarifications, and include common concerns in subsequent reports to ensure alignment and transparency.
Use encrypted email services, password-protected documents, or secure investor portals to share sensitive financial information. Ensure compliance with data protection laws, and confirm that all parties understand the protocols for accessing and using the data.
