What Is the Time and Motion Study Consulting Financial Model?
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 hourly pricing shape consulting 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.
Built around client cohortsEach acquired customer stays active for its modeled lifetime before billable hours and hourly pricing drive revenue.
CLIENT-COHORT REVENUE ENGINE
How Does This Model Calculate Time and Motion Study Consulting Revenue?
Revenue starts with marketing-driven customer acquisition, retains clients by service tier, converts active clients into billable hours, and prices those hours by tier.
01
Acquire Clients
New customers equal marketing spend divided by customer acquisition cost.
02
Allocate Tiers
New customers are allocated across service tiers and retained for each tier lifetime.
03
Track Active Clients
Starting customers plus still-active acquired cohorts determine monthly active customers.
04
Calculate Hours
Active customers are multiplied by average monthly billable hours per customer.
05
Calculate Revenue
Billable hours are multiplied by tier hourly rates and summed across tiers and months.
The Revenue Assumptions sheet organizes marketing acquisition, client allocation, cohort lifetimes, billable-hour usage, and hourly pricing that drive consulting revenue.

PRODUCT FIT
Is the Time and Motion Study Consulting Financial Model Right for You?
The ready-made model fits billable-hour client cohorts, while structurally different revenue mechanics, operating schedules, or reporting requirements may call for custom modeling.
READY-MADE MODEL
A Good Fit
You acquire consulting customers through marketing spend and a customer acquisition cost assumption.
You segment clients into service categories with different lifetimes, billable hours, or hourly rates.
You want a five-year monthly and annual forecast with Low, Base, and High cases.
You need linked statements, dashboard reporting, and editable operating and cost assumptions.
CUSTOM STRUCTURE
Consider Custom Modeling
Your revenue is mainly fixed project fees, retainers, outcome-based fees, or other non-hourly billing.
Client retention requires more complex churn, reactivation, renewal, or multi-contract cohort logic.
You need operating schedules that differ materially from the model’s client-category structure.
You require custom reporting or calculations beyond the workbook’s current planning structure.
The template is a planning starting point, not a guarantee of performance.

Clearer Margins Fast
Megan Carter, NY
I could finally see break-even and margin pressure without rebuilding the whole sheet. It cut my pricing review from hours to under 30 minutes.
No More Blank Sheet
Derek Johnson, TX
I used to stare at an empty workbook for days; this got me to a working draft the same afternoon. It was much easier to meet with my partner once the model was already laid out.
Assumptions Stays Organized

All my pricing, cost, and growth inputs were in one place, so I stopped second-guessing the numbers. That alone saved me a full day of cleanup before our lender call.
