Average Selling Price
Average Selling Price (ASP) is the average price a given product is sold for. This metric can be applied narrowly to a product or service or, more broadly, to an entire market. It's a common metric, often used to compare businesses or channels and is particularly interesting as a reflection of what consumers will pay for similar products or services.
Bessemer Efficiency Score
Bessemer Efficiency Score is a measure of capital efficiency that tracks net new ARR against net burn for a given period. This metric showcases the incremental ARR dollars added for every dollar of burn, effectively measuring a company’s spending habits.
Bookings
Bookings is a key sales metric that is calculated by taking the total dollar value, including subscription, implementation, and discounts, that a customer has committed to spend for a product or service within a specified period.
CAC Payback Period
CAC Payback Period is the time it takes for a company to earn back their customer acquisition costs. The value depends on how high the Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) is and how much a customer contributes in revenue each month or each year.
Cash Conversion Cycle
The Cash Conversion Cycle, also knows as Cash-to-Cash Cycle Time, is the time between when a business pays its suppliers and when the business receives payment from its customers, usually expressed in days. Keeping active tabs on your Cash Conversion Cycle will aid you in monitoring your finances as cash flows in and out of your business.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash Equivalents refers to legal tender of any form including cash, currencies, and other liquid assets such as money market assets and accounts receivable. Cash is a key indicator of business health, indicating a company’s ability to meet its operating obligations, including paying any short-term debt.
Charges
Charges refers to the total revenue you earn from payments, after deducting any fees, refunds, transfers, and disputes. Sometimes also known as Net Charges, this metric is your view of net earnings collected through a payment gateway.
Charges Count
Changes Count measures the total number of Charges you have made to your customers. Use this metric to have an overall view of how many payments you have accepted from your customers for the products or services you sold.
Cost Of Goods Sold
The Cost Of Goods Sold (COGS) is the measure of direct costs incurred by a company to manufacture or deliver their product or service. Costs typically include raw material and direct labour, but this varies from business to business, depending on the products or services that are being sold. COGS is the building block to understanding Gross Margin and Gross Margin Percent.
Cost Per Hire
Cost Per Hire is a fundamental recruiting metric, that helps Human Resource professionals budget, calculate a return on their effort, and understand how effective their employee brand is when recruiting talent. Cost Per Hire is defined as the internal and external costs required to hire a new employee.
Current Assets
Current assets reflect a company’s assets on the Balance Sheet or Statement of Financial Position and are easily liquidated or converted to cash within one year. Companies often use current assets in conjunction with current liabilities to calculate different liquidity ratios. Some common accounts that fall under current assets are cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, trade receivable, and many others depending on industry.
Current Liabilities
Current liabilities reflect a company’s short term debt on the Balance Sheet or Statement of Financial Position. This debt is short term and must be paid within a year. It's important for a company to identify current liabilities in order to understand their financial solvency, often this is done in conjunction with current assets. Some common accounts that fall under current liabilities are accounts payable, deferred revenue, interest payable, short-term debt, dividend payable, and many others depending on industry.
