The editable five-year workbook models client cohorts, billable hours, hourly rates, costs, scenarios and related financial statements for defence contract management services.
Use the workbook to connect customer acquisition, customer cohort behavior, service level activity, billable hours and price to the five-year financial forecast.
The editable assumptions flow through the revenue, operating expenses, scenarios and related income statement, the cash flow report, the balance sheet and the management reports.
Marketing costs and CAC create new customers, retained cohorts identify active customers, and their billed hours and hourly rates generate revenue from services.
New customers equals marketing expenses divided by customer acquisition costs.
New customers are assigned by level and retained by each specified customer lifetime.
Active clients connect new clients with every cohort in their lives.
Billable hours are equal to active customers times the average monthly hours billed per active customer.
Revenue is equal to billed hours times the hourly rate, summed up in individual service levels and months.
The revenue article links marketing expenditure, CAC, customer allocation, customer retention period, billable hours and hourly price with the revenue engine of the customer cohort.
