Saved Me Hours
Building the model by hand would’ve taken me all week, and this template got it done in an afternoon. I had the numbers ready for planning calls without the usual spreadsheet drag.
Building the model by hand would’ve taken me all week, and this template got it done in an afternoon. I had the numbers ready for planning calls without the usual spreadsheet drag.
I used to worry one bad cell would throw off the whole sheet. This template kept the formulas organized, so I could update assumptions without second-guessing the results.
It made the margin and break-even view much easier to read, which helped me spot weak spots fast. I had cleaner assumptions to discuss with my team and a clearer path for pricing.
It is a fully editable five-year spreadsheet that modeled the acquisition of customers, the preservation of cohorts, invoicing hours and financial statements in the case of low, base and high.
Use your workbook to plan how to invest in marketing, customer maintenance, mix of services, invoicing time and prices translate into revenue and financial results.
Change of start-up time, initial customers, marketing budget and seasonality, CAC, level allocation, customer life, billing hours and hourly rates; related calculations update revenue and reports.
The model transforms marketing expenses into new customers, stops each cohort by service level, multiplys active customers by invoicing hours and then applies hourly rates.
New customers are equal to channel marketing expenses divided by customer acquisition costs.
New customers are divided into service levels using the selected allocation percentages.
The beginners and yet active acquired companies determine the active clients by level.
Active customers multiply the average monthly billing hours for each service level.
The settlement activities are multiplied by the hourly rates and then the level of revenue is summed in months.
The income calculation sheet combines expenses for acquisition and CAC with customer cohorts, invoice hours at service level, hourly prices and monthly income.
