Acquire Customers
Monthly marketing spend divided by CAC determines new customers, with seasonality shaping acquisition timing.
This editable Excel and Google Sheets workbook models five years of biometric security operations using customer cohorts, billable hours, costs, scenarios, and financial statements.
Plan how customer acquisition, service mix, customer lifetime, billable hours, and hourly rates translate into revenue and financial performance over time.
Edit launch timing, starting customers, marketing budget, seasonality, CAC, tier allocation, customer lifetime, hours, and rates; linked reports update from those operating assumptions.
The model acquires customers from marketing spend and CAC, retains tiered cohorts, converts active clients into billable hours, and applies hourly rates.
Monthly marketing spend divided by CAC determines new customers, with seasonality shaping acquisition timing.
New customers are allocated across service tiers and retained for each tier's stated lifetime.
Starting customers combine with every still-active customer cohort to determine active customers.
Active customers by tier multiply by average billable hours per active customer each month.
Monthly tier billable hours multiply by hourly rates, then revenue is summed across tiers and months.
The Revenue view organizes acquisition, customer allocation, lifetime, active customer counts, billable hours, and pricing inputs that feed the cohort revenue calculation.
REVENUE
The COGS & OPEX view separates direct costs, variable expenses, and fixed operating expenses so cost assumptions flow into margins and cash planning.
COGS & OPEX
The Scenarios view compares Low, Base, and High cases across revenue, gross margin, contribution margin, and EBITDA over the five-year forecast.
SCENARIOS
The Dashboard brings core setup controls, scenario outputs, revenue mix, profitability, cash flow, and investment payback visuals into one management view.

This template gave me a clear structure for what investors wanted, so I stopped guessing and built a model that made sense. It saved me hours and helped me walk into the meeting with a cleaner story.
The pricing, cost, and growth inputs are laid out in a way that’s easy to follow, so I spent less time untangling numbers. It cut my planning time by a full afternoon.
I don’t have advanced Excel skills, and this model kept me from getting stuck on formulas. I was able to finish the forecast and send it to my partner the same day.
