Cleaned Up Our Reporting
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.
This editable five-year workbook models of customer acquisition, active customer cohorts, billing hours, prices, costs, scenarios and integrated financial statements.
Use the model to plan how marketing customer acquisition becomes an active customer job, hours paid, revenue from services, operating costs and cash needs over time.
Editable assumptions are the source of a monthly calculation mechanism that transfers operational activities to annual views, scenario comparisons, financial statements and management reporting.
Marketing expenditure and CAC create new customers, retained cohorts generate active customers, and paid hours multiplied by hourly rates generate monthly revenue from services.
The monthly marketing expenditure divided by CAC determines new customers entering the model.
New customers are assigned at different levels of service and retained for each defined life span.
The starter customers and all the unexpired cohorts combine in active customers at a level.
Active customers multiply by average monthly hours paid for each level of service.
Hours paid multiply by hourly rates, and then revenues are added up at different levels and months.
The revenue card combines marketing purchase, service level allocation, customer lifetime, active cohorts, hours paid and hourly prices with service forecast.
REVENUE
The COGS & OPEX card separates direct costs of services, variable operating costs and fixed costs, so that the cost assumptions can translate into margins and cash forecasts.
COGS & OPEX
The Scenarios plan shows low, underlying and high cases of the main revenue and profitability measures in the five-year planning horizon.
SCENARIOS
The board contains global settings, scenario controls, financial indicators, revenue mix, profitability, cash flow and returns visualizations in one management view.
DASHBOARD
The template fits with companies using customer purchases, cohort behaviour, hours payable and hourly prices; much different operating logic may require custom modelling.
The template is the starting point of planning, not a guarantee of performance.
The financial models of Lab may build or adapt a model where the revenue logic, operational schedules or reporting requirements differ from the final template.
