It’s gaslighting you. https://sarahgschlott.com/your-erp-isnt-scaling-its-gaslighting-you/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=your-erp-isnt-scaling-its-gaslighting-you Tue, 07 Oct 2025 11:30:19 +0000 https://sarahgschlott.com/?p=5100 Every SaaS CFO hits this point — the system that was supposed to automate reporting now argues with itself every close. ARR doesn’t match CRM. Billings lag revenue. And the “integration” feels like a long-distance relationship.

The board call where ARR missed by 10%? That wasn’t a forecast issue. It was your ERP whispering sweet lies about deferred revenue while Salesforce quietly inflated bookings.

I’ve sat in those war rooms. Half the time is spent debating which system’s “truth” to believe. The other half is cleanup — duct-taped exports, pivot tables, late nights pretending control equals clarity.

It’s like flying a jet with two dashboards — both glowing, neither aligned.

I tore mine down, rebuilt from the data layer up, and watched FP&A go from reactive to predictive overnight. Not pretty, but necessary.

This is why SaaS finance breaks when the story outruns the numbers.

DM me if you’re ready to see what clean, scalable FP&A actually looks like.
