Acquire Clients
New customers equal marketing spend divided by customer acquisition cost.
It is an editable five-year Excel workbook compatible with Google Sheets, linking client acquisition, active cohorts, billable hours, and hourly rates to statements and dashboard outputs.
Use the workbook to plan how marketing spend, acquisition cost, client mix, retention, billable hours, and pricing shape revenue and cash needs over five years.
Editable operating assumptions feed monthly and annual projections, scenario analysis, the income statement, cash flow statement, balance sheet, and dashboard.
Revenue starts with marketing-driven customer acquisition, retains clients by service tier, converts active clients into billable hours, and prices those hours by tier.
New customers equal marketing spend divided by customer acquisition cost.
New customers are allocated across service tiers and retained for each tier lifetime.
Starting customers plus still-active acquired cohorts determine monthly active customers.
Active customers are multiplied by average monthly billable hours per customer.
Billable hours are multiplied by tier hourly rates and summed across tiers and months.
The Revenue Assumptions sheet organizes acquisition, service-tier allocation, cohort lifetimes, billable-hour usage, and hourly pricing that drive the client-cohort revenue calculation.
REVENUE ASSUMPTIONS
The COGS & OPEX sheet separates direct interpretation costs, variable operating charges, and fixed expenses so the forecast can calculate margins and operating results.
COGS & OPEX
The Scenarios view compares Low, Base, and High paths for revenue, gross margin, contribution margin, and EBITDA across the five-year forecast.
SCENARIOS
The Dashboard combines global setup, scenario controls, key metrics, revenue mix, profitability, core financials, cash flow, and investment payback in one management view.

I’m not great at Excel, so this template kept the advanced modeling from feeling overwhelming. I had my first draft done in a couple of hours instead of spending a full day guessing at formulas.
Our statements and charts were all over the place before, and this pulled everything into one view. I cut meeting prep by about 3 hours because the key outputs were already organized and easy to share.
Pricing, labor, and growth were scattered across notes before, but this model put them in one place. That made our forecast a lot easier to explain and saved me from rebuilding assumptions twice.
