Why finance operators use the ltv:cac ratio.

Calculate the ratio of customer lifetime value to acquisition cost. Industry benchmark is 3:1 — below that, you're subsidizing growth; above 5:1, you're probably under-investing in acquisition.

Financial services operators — wealth, lending, brokerage, fintech — are under pressure from rates, regulation, and AI-native entrants. SAZ helps financial services firms modernize systems, build AI-powered workflows, and accelerate growth under OSC, IIROC, and OSFI frameworks.
