Acquire Customers
Monthly marketing spend divided by CAC determines new customers entering the model.
This editable five-year workbook models client acquisition, active customer cohorts, billable hours, pricing, costs, scenarios, and integrated financial statements.
Use the model to plan how marketing-driven customer acquisition becomes active client work, billable hours, service revenue, operating costs, and cash requirements over time.
Editable assumptions feed the monthly calculation engine, which rolls operating activity into annual views, scenario comparisons, financial statements, and management reporting.
Marketing spend and CAC create new customers, retained cohorts generate active clients, and billable hours multiplied by hourly rates produce monthly service revenue.
Monthly marketing spend divided by CAC determines new customers entering the model.
New customers are assigned across service tiers and retained for each stated lifetime.
Starting customers and all unexpired cohorts combine into active customers by tier.
Active customers multiply by average monthly billable hours for each service tier.
Billable hours multiply by hourly rates, then revenue is totaled across tiers and months.
The Revenue sheet connects marketing acquisition, service-tier allocation, customer lifetime, active cohorts, billable hours, and hourly pricing to the service forecast.
REVENUE
The COGS & OPEX sheet separates direct service costs, variable operating expenses, and fixed expenses so cost assumptions can flow into margins and cash forecasts.

All the statements and charts were scattered everywhere before, and this template pulled them into one place. I saved hours each month and could share a clean summary without hunting through files.
I wasn’t sure what investors wanted to see, but the tabs and forecasts gave me a clear path. We booked a meeting sooner because the structure made the numbers easy to walk through.
I’m not strong in advanced Excel, so I liked that the model was already built and easy to edit. I filled in our assumptions in under an hour instead of getting stuck on formulas.
