Finally Saw True Margins
The break-even tab made profitability clear in one place, so I stopped guessing and could see which pricing mix actually worked. It saved me hours of back-and-forth before our lender call.

I’m not strong in Excel, and this model kept the inputs simple enough that I could build the forecast without outside help. I had a clean draft ready the same day.
Everything was in one file instead of scattered across tabs and exports, so I pulled the statements and charts together for a meeting in under an hour. That alone saved me a full afternoon.
The personal financial model of Chauffeur is a five-year workbook that designs and combines the revenue from the customer service charges with scenarios and financial statements.
Use the workbook to plan customer acquisitions, service activities, billing hours, prices, operating costs, staff, financing and financial results over time.
You change the operating assumptions while related calculations transfer these changes to revenue, costs, cash flow, profitability, scenarios and management reporting.
The model converts marketing spending into buyers, maintains layered conglomerates, calculates paid hours and uses hourly rates to generate monthly revenues from services.
New customers equally spend marketing expenditure divided into the costs of purchasing the customer, using the monthly marketing seasonality.
New customers are allocated at different levels of service and retained for the duration of each level.
Active customers connect the start-up customers to each cohort acquired during its lifetime.
Active customers of each level are multiplied by average hours paid for an active customer each month.
The hours paid multiply by hourly rates and then the revenue is added up in different levels and months.
The income worksheet organises acquisition, allocation of cohorts, customer lifetime, billing hours and pricing assumptions which form the basis for the monthly model revenue calculations.
