Every metric the board asks for. Steered, not just shown.
ARR, NRR, CAC payback, Rule of 40, runway — live from the systems you already run, each on one published definition. But a number you can only look at is a rear-view mirror. Beacon puts your target, your peers, and the next move on every one.
By the board meeting, the number is late, disputed, or both.
Nobody trusted the number
Sales, Finance and the board each brought their own ARR. The meeting went to reconciling it — not deciding on it.
You saw the drift too late
Net retention had slipped since spring. The scorecard only showed it at the board review — after the quarter had closed.
The pack ate a week
A finance lead's week, every month, exporting and formatting numbers that were stale the moment they were pasted.
Every number, against your target and your peers.
Growth, retention, efficiency, margins and cash — live from your billing, CRM and ledger, each on its published definition. Switch the lens: where each number moved, how it sits against the target you committed to, and where you stand versus peers.

Every number opens into what to do about it.
