Reporting Without The Mess
Megan Carter, NY
I stopped digging through separate files for statements and charts, which saved me a few hours every month and made updates much easier to share with my team.
Scenario Planning Got Easier
Derek Lawson, TX
The low, base, and high cases are all set up cleanly, so I built our next forecast in under an hour instead of rewriting the model three times.
Cleaner Assumptions, Faster Updates

I finally had one place for pricing, costs, and growth assumptions, and that cut my weekly refresh time by half. The model is simple enough that I can explain every number in a meeting.

Active clients
Starting clients and all still active cohorts shall identify active clients on a monthly basis.

Is the financial model of a translation agency right for you?
The ready-made model fits into the economy of a translation agency with a cohort of clients and a settlement time; different logical revenue structures or operational schedules may require individual modelling.
Model ready
It fits perfectly
You earn active translation agency clients with billable hours and hourly rates.
You're gaining customers through marketing spending and the measurable cost of acquiring customers.
You're assigning new clients to different service levels and you're keeping cohorts for a lifetime.
You want five years of financial statements with a low, basic and high scenario analysis.
Order structure
Think about the model
Your main revenue depends on prices per word, fixed project fees, subscriptions, commissions or services, instead of paid hours.
Your customer lifecycle requires recognition of revenue at the level of events, complex renewals, or the logic of contract-specific behavior.
Your activities require language skills, project-level staff or delivery schedules outside the cohort structure.
Reporting requirements differ significantly from workbook reports, scenario analyses and management views.
The indicator is the starting point for planning, not a guarantee of performance.
