Acquire Clients

Allocate Cohorts
New customers are allocated by tier and retained for each tier lifetime.

Count Active Clients
Starting customers and all still-active customer cohorts form the active client base.

05
Calculate Revenue
Billable hours multiply by hourly rates, with revenue summed across tiers and months.

The template is a planning starting point, not a guarantee of performance.

Assumptions Organized Fast
Megan Hart, CA
This template pulled pricing, costs, and growth into one place so I could stop guessing across different tabs. It cut my setup time by about 6 hours and made the numbers much easier to review.
A Better Starting Point
Daniel Reed, TX
I didn’t have to build the model from scratch, which removed the blank-sheet stress right away. In one afternoon, I had a working draft instead of an empty spreadsheet, and that saved me a full day of setup.
Runway Became Clear
Priya Shah, NJ
The cash flow view made it easy to see when shortfalls could happen, instead of finding out too late. That clarity helped me plan a funding conversation sooner and gave me a much cleaner runway check.
