Acquire Customers
New customers equal marketing spend divided by customer acquisition cost.
It is an editable Excel and Google Sheets workbook that forecasts client-cohort billable-hour revenue over five years and connects those drivers to financial statements and scenario analysis.
Use the model to plan how marketing spend, client acquisition, service mix, retention, billable workload, and hourly pricing translate into operating and financial results.
Editable assumptions feed monthly and annual projections, while linked calculations roll operating inputs into statements, scenarios, and management reporting.
Marketing spend and CAC create new clients, retained cohorts remain active by service lifetime, and active clients generate billable hours priced at each tier’s hourly rate.
New customers equal marketing spend divided by customer acquisition cost.
Assign new customers across service tiers and retain each cohort for its stated lifetime.
Active customers include starting customers plus all customer cohorts still within their lifetimes.
Billable hours equal active customers multiplied by average monthly hours per active customer.
Monthly tier revenue equals billable hours multiplied by hourly rate, then totals across tiers and months.
The Revenue Assumptions sheet connects marketing spend and CAC to client cohorts, service allocation, retention, billable hours, and hourly rates.

This template made the required structure obvious, so I could present the model to our investors without second-guessing the format. It saved me about 6 hours of guesswork and helped me book our follow-up meeting faster.
I liked that the formulas were already set up, because one broken cell used to throw off my whole forecast. Here, I spent less time checking errors and more time finishing the model in one afternoon.
I am not an Excel expert, and this template kept the process straightforward from start to finish. The layout helped me build a clean five-year plan without hiring outside help.
