Acquire Customers
Marketing spend is divided by customer acquisition cost to calculate new customers.
This editable Excel and Google Sheets workbook models five years of sub-bottom profiling operations with monthly and annual projections, statements, scenarios, and dashboard reporting.
Plan customer acquisition, service-tier activity, billable hours, hourly pricing, operating costs, staffing, capital spending, financing, and financial outcomes in one forecast structure.
Editable assumptions feed monthly calculations, financial statements, scenario comparisons, and management views so operating changes flow through the model's projected results.
The model acquires customers through marketing, allocates them across service tiers, tracks active cohorts, and converts billable hours and hourly rates into monthly revenue.
Marketing spend is divided by customer acquisition cost to calculate new customers.
New customers are assigned across service tiers using the editable allocation mix.
Starting customers and still-active acquired cohorts remain active for each tier's lifetime.
Active customers are multiplied by average billable hours per month to calculate tier billable hours.
Tier billable hours are multiplied by hourly rates and summed into total monthly revenue.
The Revenue Assumptions view connects marketing, CAC, service allocation, customer lifetimes, billable hours, and hourly rates to the client-cohort forecast.
REVENUE ASSUMPTIONS
The COGS & OPEX sheet separates revenue-linked COGS, variable expenses, and fixed expenses so cost assumptions can flow into margins and cash planning.

The Scenarios view compares Low, Base, and High cases across revenue, gross margin, contribution margin, and EBITDA over the five-year forecast.

I was worried the modeling would be too technical, but the layout and assumptions were easy to follow. I finished the setup in under an hour instead of spending all day in formulas.
I didn’t know what investors would expect, and this template gave me a clear starting point right away. It helped me prepare a cleaner set of projections and book a meeting faster.
Starting from scratch felt overwhelming, so having a pre-built model saved me a lot of stress. I was able to plug in my numbers and get a usable draft in one afternoon.
