Clear Investor Messaging
This template helped me turn scattered numbers into a clean story investors could follow. I booked two meetings the same week because the structure made the forecast easy to walk through.
This template helped me turn scattered numbers into a clean story investors could follow. I booked two meetings the same week because the structure made the forecast easy to walk through.
I’m not strong with advanced Excel, so this was a relief. The tabs and formulas were laid out clearly, and I had the model working in under an hour.
My pricing, labor, and growth inputs were all over the place before this. Once I put them into the template, I saved about 6 hours and finally had one place to review everything.
This is an editable five-year workbook that models client cohorts, billable hours, hourly rates and related financial statements for building safety advice.
Use the workbook to plan how customer acquisition marketing, the mix of services, customer life expectancy, billable hours and hourly rates affect consulting over time.
The editable operational assumptions are subject to the calculations, scenarios and financial statements of the model, so that changes in the underlying factors flow through the forecast.
The model converts marketing spending into new customers, retains each cohort for life, calculates billable hours, applies hourly rates, and aggregates monthly revenue.
New customers are equal to marketing expenses divided by the cost of acquiring customers each month.
New customers are assigned to different service levels and retained over the life of each customer level.
Starting clients and all still active client cohorts identify active clients by level.
Active customers multiply the average monthly billing hours per customer for each level.
The hours indicated shall be multiplied by the hourly rates and then the revenue shall be combined in each level and month.
Worksheet revenue assumptions combines marketing expenditure, CAC, service level allocation, customer retention period, billable hours and hourly rates with the revenue customer cohort.
