Scenario Planning Made Simple
I stopped wasting time on low, base, and high cases from scratch. This template gave me a clean setup in under an hour, so I could focus on assumptions instead of rebuilding scenarios.

I wasn’t sure what investors would expect, but this model laid out the right outputs and structure clearly. It saved me a full day of guessing and made our update meeting much easier to prepare for.
Blank sheets always slowed me down, and this template got me moving fast. I had a usable liquidity model the same morning, which cut my setup time by about six hours.
This is an editable five-year workbook that models customer acquisition, active cohorts, billable hours, price, scenarios and related financial statements.
Use the model to translate service demand, customer retention, sales time and hourly prices into a structured operational and financial forecast.
The editable assumptions provide data on revenue, costs, employment, capital and funding schedules, which are then combined with scenario analysis and projected financial statements.
Marketing costs and CAC create new customers, cohorts remain active for life, and active customers generate billable hours at hourly prices specified in the services.
The marketing costs divided by CAC determine new customers in each period.
New customers are divided into service levels and retained for a specific lifetime.
Starting customers and unfilled cohorts designate active customers according to the level of service.
Active customers multiply on average by monthly hours per active customer.
The settlement time shall be multiplied by the hourly rate and then revenue summed in individual levels and months.
Worksheet revenue combines projected service revenue with projected marketing revenue, customer allocation, cohort life, billing hours and hourly rates.
Revenue
Worksheet COGS and OPEX separate direct service costs, variable operating expenses and fixed overhead so that cost assumptions flow into projected profitability and cash.
COGS & OPEX
The scenario compares the low, basic and high results for revenue, gross margin, contribution margin and EBITDA over the five-year period of forecast.
Scenarios
The Dashboard combines model setting, scenario outcomes, key financial metrics, revenue mix, profitability, cash flow and return on investment in one management view.
Dashboard
The template is appropriate for service undertakings using customer cohorts, billable hours and hourly prices; substantially different revenue mechanisms or reporting structures may require individual modelling.
The indicator is the starting point for planning, not a guarantee of performance.
Financial Models Lab can build or customize a model when you need a different revenue logic, operational schedule or financial reporting.

It converts marketing and CAC spending into customers, keeps cohorts alive, and then multiplies billable hours by active customers at hourly rates across different service levels.
You can edit runtime, startup clients, marketing budget and seasonality, CAC, level allocation, customer usage time, billable hours and hourly rates.
