Clear Assumptions, Better Planning
Megan Turner, NY

Easy To Use, Even For Me
Caleb Johnson, TX
I’m not strong in Excel, and this template made the modeling side feel much less technical. I was able to update the numbers myself and send the file to my partner the same day.
All Reports In One Place
Laura Bennett, CA
Before this, my statements and charts were spread across different files. Now everything is in one model, and I had investor-ready reporting ready for a meeting without piecing it together last minute.
Model review
What's the financial model of the record store?
The Financial model Record Store is an editable five-year workbook that transforms store movement, buyer behavior, cart, price, cost and financing into combined financial results.
Use the workbook to plan how visitors turn into customers by repeating orders, units sold, revenue categories, operating expenses, cash flow and profitability.
The editable assumptions feed monthly model calculations, financial statements, scenario analysis and management reports so that operational changes flow through the forecast.
Built around shop trafficChange visitor data, conversions, recurring customers, basketball, mix, prices, costs and time to update the connected forecast.
