Saved Me Hours
Building the forecast by hand was eating whole afternoons, and this template cut that down to one clean setup session. I had numbers ready to share the same day.

Runway was hard to read before, but this model laid out monthly cash flow and shortfalls in a way I could actually follow. I booked a planning call with my cofounder after seeing the gap months clearly.
One broken formula used to make me second-guess every tab, so the built-in structure was a relief. I caught assumptions faster and sent a cleaner model without worrying that one cell would throw off the whole file.
This edited five-year workbook model of acquisition customers, repeat purchases, sales categories, costs, scenarios and combined financial statements for the luxury retail store.
Use the model to combine marketing budgets and CAC with customer size, recurring orders, category unit sales, prices, costs, and financial results.
Changes to operational requirements in the workbook and related calculations update the monthly forecast, scenario views, statements and management reports.
Revenue starts with expenditure on channel marketing and CAC, adds active repeat buyers, converts orders into units, allocates a mix of categories and applies category prices.
The cost of online and offline marketing divided by CAC channels is calculated by new customers per channel.
Some new customers become repeat buyers who remain active for a certain lifetime.
Monthly orders combine first purchases with active repeat customers multiplied by repeat order frequency.
Orders become units using units per order and then the category sales mix allocates a pool of units.
Category units awarded shall be multiplied by category prices and summed by category and month.
The Revenue view combines the acquisition channel, repeat customer behaviour, order volume, product mix and category prices that drive forecast sales.
