Acquire Customers
New customers equal marketing spend divided by customer acquisition cost.
The Steel Jacketing Service Financial Model is an editable five-year Excel or Google Sheets workbook linking customer cohorts and billable activity to financial statements and management reports.
Use the workbook to plan how marketing-driven customer acquisition, retained client cohorts, service activity, hourly pricing, costs, staffing, and capital needs shape the business forecast.
Editable assumptions flow through monthly calculations into revenue, profitability, cash flow, balance sheet, scenario, and dashboard views for structured planning.
Marketing spend and CAC create new customers, cohorts remain active by service lifetime, and active customers generate billable hours priced at their matching hourly rates.
New customers equal marketing spend divided by customer acquisition cost.
New customers are allocated across service tiers and retained for each stated lifetime.
Active customers include starting customers plus every cohort still within its lifetime.
Active customers multiply by average monthly billable hours for the matching service tier.
Billable hours multiply by hourly rate, then revenue is summed across tiers and months.
The Revenue worksheet connects marketing spend, customer acquisition, service-tier allocation, customer lifetime, billable hours, and hourly rates to the revenue forecast.
REVENUE
The COGS & OPEX worksheet separates direct cost assumptions, variable expenses, and fixed operating costs for monthly forecasting and margin analysis.
COGS & OPEX
The Scenarios view compares Low, Base, and High cases across revenue, gross margin, contribution margin, and EBITDA over the five-year forecast.
SCENARIOS
The Dashboard combines model setup, scenario controls, key financial metrics, revenue mix, profitability, cash flow, and investment payback into one management view.
DASHBOARD
The ready-made model fits billable-hour service businesses using customer cohorts, while materially different revenue logic or operating schedules may require custom modeling.
The template is a planning starting point, not a guarantee of performance.
Financial Models Lab can build or adapt a model when your revenue logic, operating schedules, or reporting requirements differ from the ready-made template.

This template made the required outputs and structure obvious, so I stopped guessing what investors wanted. I had a clean model draft ready in a few hours instead of spending days piecing it together.
I used to have statements and charts spread across half a dozen files. Now everything sits in one place, and I built a lender update deck in under an hour.
The break-even and margin views made the numbers easy to read at a glance. I caught a weak assumption early and saved myself from presenting a flawed forecast.
