Clearer Models, Less Guesswork
This template made advanced Excel work feel manageable instead of intimidating, with clean tabs and formulas I could actually follow. I saved about 8 hours I would have spent trying to build the model from scratch.

The cash-flow layout made it much easier to spot shortfalls and plan funding needs ahead of time. I had a clearer runway view in one afternoon instead of piecing it together across multiple sheets.
I finally had a model with the structure investors expect, so I wasn’t second-guessing what to include. It helped me book a funding meeting with a cleaner deck and more confident numbers.
This is an editable five-year Excel and Google Sheets workbook combining customer cohorts, invoicing hours, service rates, costs, scenarios and financial statements.
Planning of a seagrass recovery project by changing the assumptions of acquisition, maintenance, workload, prices, costs, employment, capital and financing in a single combined forecast.
The revenue programme contains calculated management reports and reports, so that operational assumptions pass through profitability, cash, balance sheet and scenarios.
Marketing costs and CAC create new customers, level allocation and customer life are defined by active cohorts and the hours invoiced multiplied by hourly rates result in monthly revenue.
Marketing costs ÷ CAC create new customers in each acquisition period.
New customers are allocated at level and each cohort remains active for a certain life-time.
Start-up customers and cohorts continue to identify active customers according to the level of service.
Active customers × mean monthly billing hours specify the workload to be invoiced at the level.
The above indicators indicate that the value of the above level is the total amount of revenue.
The spreadsheet of results combines marketing, CAC, level allocation, customer life, invoicing hours and hourly rates with customer cohort forecast.
Revenue
The COGS and OPEX spreadsheet separates the categories of direct costs, variable costs and fixed costs which are repeated throughout the expected period.

Scenarios
