The break-even and margin view made it much easier to spot where the wedding business was actually profitable. I could explain the assumptions to our planner in one meeting instead of guessing at the numbers.
Save Hours on Forecasting
Daniel Brooks, TX
I used to spend hours building revenue, staffing, and expense sheets by hand. This template cut that work down to an afternoon, and I had a clean set of projections ready for review the same day.
Start Without The Stress
Hannah Lewis, FL
I was staring at a blank spreadsheet and didn’t know where to begin. The pre-built layout gave me a clear starting point, so I had the first draft of our model done in under an hour.

What does the financial model of a product called Wedding Planner include?
The Wedding Planner financial model is an editable Excel workbook that designs five years of monthly and annual P&L results, cash flows and balance sheet from the setting of customers, hours and rates.

The Editable assumptions feed the monthly model of calculation and flow through scenarios, profit and loss account, cash flow report, balance sheet, navigation desktop and related reports.

Model ready
It fits perfectly
The wedding planning revenue comes from active customers, paid hours and hourly rates.
You want editorial assumptions regarding acquisition, including marketing expenses, seasonality, CAC and the allocation of service levels.
You need five-year monthly and annual planning with low, base and high cases.
You need related P&L, cash flows, balance sheet, navigation desktop and management reports.
Order structure
Think about the model
You mainly count with fixed packages, commissions, locality markups or other revenue logic requiring different formulas.
You need an operating schedule that is very different from a group of customers, customer life, billing hours and hourly rates.
Additional reporting structures or calculations beyond the established financial results of the workbook are required.
You want to remodel the model around another business process, unit structure or planning workflow.
The indicator is the starting point for planning, not a guarantee of performance.
