Acquire Clients
New customers equal marketing spend divided by customer acquisition cost.
It is an editable five-year Excel or Google Sheets workbook that models client cohorts, billable hours, revenue, costs, scenarios, and financial statements.
Plan a preventive conservation service around client acquisition, retained customer cohorts, monthly billable hours, hourly pricing, staffing, costs, and funding needs.
Editable assumptions feed the operating schedules and financial reports, so changes to acquisition, retention, workload, pricing, expenses, or staffing flow through the forecast.
The model acquires clients from marketing spend and CAC, retains cohorts by tier, converts active clients into billable hours, then applies hourly rates.
New customers equal marketing spend divided by customer acquisition cost.
New customers are allocated across service tiers and retained for each tier’s stated lifetime.
Active customers combine starting customers with every customer cohort that remains within its lifetime.
Active customers are multiplied by average billable hours per active customer each month.
Billable hours are multiplied by hourly rates, then revenue is summed across tiers and months.
The Revenue worksheet brings acquisition budgets, CAC, client allocation, cohort lifetime, billable hours, and hourly pricing into one operating schedule.

The pricing, cost, and growth inputs were all over the place before, and this template pulled them into one clear model. It saved me a few hours of reworking assumptions and made the numbers easier to explain.
I used to dig through separate files for statements and charts, and it was a mess. Now everything is together, and I booked a review meeting 2 days sooner than expected.
The cash-flow view made it easier to see runway and possible shortfalls without guessing. I caught a funding gap early and had time to adjust the plan before it became a problem.
