CLIENT-COHORT SERVICE REVENUE
How Does the Tax Exempt Status Application Service Model Calculate Revenue?
The model acquires clients through marketing, retains tiered cohorts, calculates active clients and billable hours, then applies hourly rates and sums revenue across tiers.
01
Acquire Clients
Marketing spend is divided by CAC, with the annual budget distributed through monthly marketing seasonality.
02
Allocate Cohorts
New clients are allocated across service tiers and each cohort remains active for its stated lifetime.
03
Count Active Clients
Starting clients are combined with all new-client cohorts that remain within their active lifetimes.
04
Calculate Billable Hours
Active clients in each tier are multiplied by average billable hours per active client each month.
05
Calculate Revenue
Billable hours are multiplied by the matching hourly rate, then revenue is summed across tiers and months.

Is the Tax Exempt Status Application Service Financial Model Right for You?
The ready-made model fits billable-hour application services driven by client cohorts and hourly pricing; materially different revenue or operating structures may require custom modeling.
READY-MADE MODEL
A Good Fit
You acquire clients through marketing spend and customer acquisition cost assumptions.
You allocate new clients across service tiers and retain cohorts for defined lifetimes.
You forecast revenue from active clients, billable hours, and hourly rates by tier.
You want five-year projections with Low, Base, and High scenarios and linked financial reports.
CUSTOM STRUCTURE
Consider Custom Modeling
Your main revenue is fixed per application, subscription, commission, retainer, or another non-hourly mechanic.
You need detailed case-stage workflows, specialist capacity, filing milestones, or document-production scheduling.
You need contract billing, pass-through filing fees, grants, success-based fees, or other specialized settlement logic.
Your reporting structure or operating modules need to differ materially from the ready-made service model.
The template is a planning starting point, not a guarantee of performance.

Formula Confidence Restored
Megan Turner, NY
The built-in checks kept one bad cell from throwing off the whole model, and that saved me about 2 hours of cleanup. I could trust the numbers before sending them to my advisor.
Clearer Runway Planning
Derek Collins, TX
The cash-flow view made it much easier to see shortfalls and timing gaps, so I booked a planning call with our team a day earlier. It gave me a cleaner picture of runway without digging through every tab.
Break-Even Finally Visible
