DOULA CLIENT-COHORT REVENUE ENGINE
How Does the Doula Service Model Calculate Revenue?
The model acquires clients from marketing spend and CAC, tracks retained cohorts by service tier, then applies billable hours and hourly rates.
01
Acquire Clients
Monthly marketing spend divided by CAC determines the number of new customers.
02
Allocate Cohorts
New customers are assigned across service tiers and retained for each stated lifetime.
03
Track Active Clients
Starting customers plus still-active customer cohorts determine active customers by tier.
04
Calculate Hours
Active customers multiply by average billable hours per active customer each month.
05
Calculate Revenue
Billable hours multiply by hourly rates, with monthly revenue totaled across service tiers.
The Revenue sheet turns marketing, CAC, tier allocation, customer lifetimes, billable hours, and hourly rates into client-cohort revenue projections.

PRODUCT FIT
Is the Doula Service Financial Model Right for Your Planning?
It fits businesses using client cohorts, billable hours, and hourly pricing; different revenue logic or reporting structures may require custom modeling.
READY-MADE MODEL
A Good Fit
Your revenue is driven by acquired clients, service tiers, billable hours, and hourly rates.
You want to edit marketing, CAC, customer lifetimes, service mix, hours, and pricing.
You need five-year monthly and annual forecasts with Low, Base, and High cases.
You want linked P&L, Cash Flow, Balance Sheet, and dashboard reporting.
CUSTOM STRUCTURE
Consider Custom Modeling
Your revenue depends on subscriptions, product units, commissions, or another materially different mechanic.
You need operating schedules that do not follow client cohorts and billable hours.
You require reporting or calculations beyond the workbook’s financial statements and management views.
You need a model structure tailored to specialized financing, service delivery, or internal reporting requirements.
The template is a planning starting point, not a guarantee of performance.
