Clearer Models, Fewer Guesswork Hours
I’m not great with advanced Excel, and this template made the setup feel manageable instead of intimidating. I saved about 6 hours I would’ve spent trying to untangle formulas.

Before this, our statements and charts were scattered across files. Now I can pull the P&L, cash flow, and dashboard from one model and prep for meetings in under an hour.
The assumption section finally gave us one place for pricing, costs, and growth inputs. It cut down our review time by a full afternoon and made the numbers easier to explain.
The financial model for car maintenance products is an edited Excel workbook that projects five years of customer-based e-commerce revenue and related financial statements.
Use it to plan your marketing spending, CAC channel, repeat purchases, frequency of orders, unit mix, prices, costs and funding flows through forecast.
Changes in operational assumptions and the model makes these contributions through projected revenue, expenditure, cash flow, profitability and balance sheet reporting.
The model converts channel marketing spending into new customers, builds repeating cohorts, calculates orders and units, allocates product mix, and then applies category pricing.
The costs of channel marketing are divided by CAC, seasonality is applied and online and offline customers are added.
The percentage of new customers becomes repeat buyers, with each cohort active over a given lifetime.
First purchase orders shall be added to the active repeat customers multiplied by monthly recurring orders on average.
Total orders are multiplied by units per order and then allocated to categories using the sales mix.
The category units awarded are multiplied by price and the revenue category is summed in months.
Revenue sheet introduces the budget, the CAC, the recurring behaviour, the frequency of orders, the product mix and the price of the category into the forecast acquisition e-commerce.
REVENUE
The COGS and OPEX sheet shall separate the direct cost assumptions, the variable operating expenses and the fixed expenditure schedules used during forecast.
COGS & OPEX
In the scenario view, it compares Low, Base, and High cases with respect to revenue, gross margin, contribution margin and EBITDA with respect to forecast.
SCENARIOS
The Dashboard system combines model configuration, scenario controls, basic financial funds, a mixture of revenue, cash flow profitability and investment payback in one view of the management.
DASHBOARD
The ready-made model is compatible with the delivered e-commerce mechanics, whereas significantly different revenue logics, operating schedules or reporting may require individual modelling.
The indicator is the starting point for planning, not a guarantee of performance.
Financial Models Lab can build or customize the model when you need a different revenue logic, operational schedule, funding structure or reporting.
