Acquire Clients
New customers equal marketing spend divided by customer acquisition cost.
It is an editable five-year Excel and Google Sheets workbook that links client acquisition, billable hours, pricing, costs, scenarios, and core financial statements.
Use the model to plan how marketing-driven client acquisition becomes active service capacity, billable hours, revenue, expenses, cash flow, and financial results over time.
You can edit launch timing, starting customers, marketing budget and seasonality, CAC, tier allocation, customer lifetime, billable hours, and hourly rates while linked calculations update the forecast.
Marketing spend and CAC create new clients, cohorts remain active for their stated lifetime, and active clients generate billable hours priced by service tier.
New customers equal marketing spend divided by customer acquisition cost.
New customers are assigned across service tiers with each cohort’s stated lifetime.
Active customers combine starting customers with all still-active acquired cohorts.
Active customers are multiplied by monthly billable hours per client for each tier.
Billable hours are multiplied by hourly rates and summed across tiers and months.
The Revenue Assumptions view connects marketing spend, acquisition cost, service-tier allocation, client lifetime, billable hours, and hourly rates to forecast revenue.
REVENUE ASSUMPTIONS
The COGS & Operational Expenses view separates direct service costs, variable expenses, and fixed overhead so operating assumptions flow into margins and cash planning.

This template helped me spot runway gaps before they became a problem, and it saved me several hours of manual checking. I could see shortfalls by month and plan funding conversations with a lot less guesswork.
I used to waste time building low, base, and high cases from scratch. This model gave me a cleaner way to compare them in one place and cut my planning time by about half.
I’m not strong in advanced Excel, so this was a relief. The layout made the model easy to follow, and I could update the inputs without getting lost in formulas.
