What’s in a chargebee financial dashboard?

A Chargebee financial dashboard is the governed view of your company's financial health built from Chargebee's billing objects: subscriptions for MRR, invoices and transactions for net revenue, credit notes and unbilled charges for accrual adjustments, and product catalog entries for plan-level margin. When paired with QuickBooks for the P&L and Stripe for payment settlement, every metric traces back to a source row.

Chargebee gives you a revenue number, but it's not the same number your accountant closes on. Credit notes offset invoices Chargebee still counts as billed; proration logic and usage metering shift the total between billing and recognition. This dashboard models one definition of each metric from Chargebee and your ledger, so the number you present to the board is the number in the bank.

Who it’s forCFOs and finance leads who run billing on Chargebee and need the board number to tie out.

Here's your chargebee financial dashboard, on your Chargebee, Quickbooks and Stripe data.
Here’s what’s in it

The top row leads with the 4 numbers that matter most: MRR, Net revenue, Monthly burn, Runway. Each shows a delta versus the prior period so you can see direction at a glance. Below that, 2 trend charts (MRR over time, Net new MRR by movement) show how the headline numbers have moved over time. A breakdown (Net revenue by product) splits the metric by dimension so you can see what's driving the total. A detail table (Margin & retention) rounds it out with the secondary metrics and their deltas. Every number is computed from the exact formulas shown in the metric table below. Composites are derived from their components, not pasted in, so the KPI tiles, breakdowns, and totals all reconcile to each other.

§ Why the numbers tie out

Every metric traces back to your systems

This is the part a BI tool can’t fake. Each metric is defined once, in your warehouse, from a specific object in a specific source. Change the definition in one place and every tile, report, and answer moves with it. So the number on the screen is the number in the source.

MetricWhat it measuresHow it's calculatedSources
MRRThe recurring revenue you're collecting this month, normalized to a monthly figure across every plan and billing cycle.prior MRR + Net New MRRChargebee, Stripe
Net RevenueRevenue you actually keep after refunds and credits, not what you originally billed.Gross Revenue − Refunds & CreditsStripe, Chargebee, Quickbooks
Runway (months)The number that sets the deadline on every plan: how many months of cash you have left at the current burn rate.Cash Balance ÷ Monthly BurnQuickbooks, Stripe
Net New MRRHow much your recurring revenue actually grew this month after new business, expansion, contraction, and churn net out, the single number that says whether the base is compounding.New MRR + Expansion MRR − Contraction MRR − Churned MRRChargebee, Stripe
Gross MarginThe share of net revenue left after the direct cost of delivering the product, the ceiling on how efficiently the business can grow.(Net Revenue − COGS) ÷ Net RevenueStripe, Chargebee, Quickbooks
Net Revenue RetentionThe clearest read on whether the product keeps earning its price: how much revenue this year's cohort of customers is worth versus last year, after expansion, contraction, and churn net out.(prior MRR + Expansion MRR − Contraction MRR − Churned MRR) ÷ prior MRRChargebee, Stripe
Gross Revenue RetentionThe share of recurring revenue you'd retain with zero expansion, the floor under the base once upsell is stripped out.(prior MRR − Contraction MRR − Churned MRR) ÷ prior MRRChargebee, Stripe
§ Then do something about it

Have our agent watch for you

A chargebee financial dashboard tells you what happened, and Fi tells you why. The last step is not having to remember to check. Point Definite at the one number you can’t afford to miss, and it watches that number for you off the same definitions as your dashboard. When it moves, you hear about it before the next review instead of during it. One metric, one action, always reversible.

§ FAQ

Common questions

Chargebee counts MRR its own way — it includes unbilled charges before invoicing and doesn't fully net credit notes until they're applied. QuickBooks recognizes revenue on a different date than Chargebee bills it. This dashboard models one definition per metric from both systems, so you see the number your accountant would close on, not Chargebee's approximation.
Chargebee for subscriptions, invoices, credit notes, and product catalog data. QuickBooks for the P&L, balance sheet, and cost data that produces margin and burn. Stripe for payment-level settlement if you route Chargebee payments through Stripe. Definite syncs all three and models them into one governed layer.
It's a live ECharts dashboard running on a deterministic synthetic dataset, labeled illustrative. The numbers reconcile because they're computed by the formulas in the metric table, not pasted in. Connect Chargebee, QuickBooks, and Stripe, and Fi builds the same view from your data.
Type a prompt like the one above. Fi proposes the metrics, models them on your connected Chargebee and QuickBooks data, and you refine by asking follow-up questions. The first version ties out without a spreadsheet reconciliation.
Credit notes and promotional coupons live in Chargebee's billing objects. The dashboard nets them into revenue by default, so your MRR and net revenue reflect actual collected value. Use a refinement prompt to split gross billings from net if you need to see the discount impact separately.
