Cleaner Reporting Fast
I stopped hunting through scattered files for charts and statements. Now everything sits in one template, and I could send a cleaner update to our lender the same day.

Building the full model by hand was eating up my evenings. This template cut the setup to one afternoon, so I could spend about 6 hours on pricing and bookings instead.
I could finally see margins and break-even without guessing. That made it much easier to plan our next shoot calendar and explain the numbers in one client meeting.
This is an editable workbook for the Excel 5-year program, which modeles customer cohorts, paid hours, revenue, basic financial statements and low/Base/High cases.
Use a planning workbook, such as marketing customer acquisition, mixing customers, retention, hours paid and hourly rates translate into studio income and financial results.
Editable assumptions are provided by a monthly calculation mechanism that combines operational schedules with financial statements, scenario views and management reporting.
The model converts marketing spending into customer cohorts, keeps active customers throughout their lives, calculates the hours paid at a level and then applies hourly rates.
New customers are spending marketing expenditure evenly divided by CAC, with a monthly marketing seasonality period.
New customers are assigned at different levels of customers or services using editable percentages.
The clients starting and running cohorts remain active for each given life period of the customer.
Paid hours equal to active customers times average monthly hours payable for each level.
Monthly revenues from the level apply to billing hours and then add up levels and months.
The statement of revenue combines marketing budgets and CAC with customer levels, lifetimes, billing hours and hourly prices throughout the forecast.
GROUNDS FOR THE REVENUE
COGS & Operating expenditure separates direct costs, variable expenditure and recurring fixed expenditure, thus transferring the operational assumptions to the financial results.
OPERATING EXPENDITURE COGS
In the light of the analysis, the scenarios compared low, basic and high revenue paths, gross margin, premium margin and EBITDA in the five-year forecast.
ANALYSIS SCENARIO
The table includes control of scenarios, basic finances, revenue mix, profitability, cash flow, key metrics and return on investment in one management view.
DASHBOARD
The ready model fits the cohort economy and cost-effective hours; structural non-standard work is better when the logic of revenue, schedules, or reporting vary significantly.
The template is the starting point of planning, not a guarantee of performance.
The financial models of Lab can build or adapt a model when the revenue logic, work schedules or reporting requirements differ from the final structure.
