Acquire Customers
New customers are calculated from marketing spend divided by customer acquisition cost.
An editable five-year workbook models consulting revenue from client cohorts, billable hours, and hourly rates, with monthly and annual statements, scenarios, and dashboards.
Use it to translate marketing-driven client acquisition, service-tier retention, billable workload, pricing, staffing, and operating costs into a structured consulting forecast.
Editable assumptions feed monthly calculations that roll into revenue, expenses, cash flow, balance sheet, scenario comparisons, and management reporting.
Marketing spend and CAC create new customers, cohorts stay active by lifetime, and active clients generate billable hours priced by service-tier hourly rates.
New customers are calculated from marketing spend divided by customer acquisition cost.
New customers are split across tiers, then each cohort remains active for its stated lifetime.
Starting customers and all still-active cohorts combine into the active customer base.
Active customers multiply by average monthly billable hours for each service tier.
Billable hours multiply by the tier hourly rate, then revenue is summed across tiers and months.
The Revenue Assumptions sheet connects marketing spend, CAC, client allocation, lifetime, billable hours, and hourly rates to the cohort-based revenue engine.
REVENUE ASSUMPTIONS
The COGS & OPEX sheet separates direct costs, variable expenses, and fixed operating expenses so service margins and overhead can flow into forecasts.

The color-coded tabs made the finance side feel manageable, even with my Excel gaps. I had a working transit-oriented development model the same day instead of getting stuck on formulas.
I used to build projections by hand, and it ate up whole afternoons. This template gave me a clean five-year model fast, and I booked our planning review two days earlier than expected.
The dashboard pulled the statements and charts together so I wasn't hunting through different files anymore. That made it much easier to present our assumptions and send a clear update to the team.
