Acquire Customers
New customers equal marketing spend divided by customer acquisition cost.
It is an editable five-year Excel and Google Sheets model linking customer acquisition, active cohorts, billable hours, pricing, costs, scenarios, and financial statements.
Plan how marketing, customer retention, recovery-service mix, billable workload, and hourly pricing translate into revenue, expenses, cash flow, and financial performance over time.
Editable operating assumptions feed monthly calculations, while the model rolls results into annual views, financial statements, scenario comparisons, and management reporting.
Marketing spend and CAC create new customers, cohorts stay active by lifetime, and billable hours multiplied by hourly rates produce monthly revenue.
New customers equal marketing spend divided by customer acquisition cost.
New customers are allocated across the defined service categories or tiers.
Starting customers and unexpired cohorts determine active customers by service tier each month.
Active customers multiply by average billable hours per active customer each month.
Billable hours multiply by hourly rates, then revenue is summed across service tiers and months.
The Revenue worksheet organizes launch timing, marketing budgets, CAC, service allocation, customer lifetime, active customers, billable hours, and hourly rates.

I opened this template instead of building from scratch, and it gave me a starting point right away. I saved a full day of setup time and could focus on the actual numbers instead of a blank sheet.
The statements, charts, and assumptions are already organized, so I wasn’t jumping between files to build the pack. It cut my reporting prep by several hours and made the whole review easier to follow.
I liked knowing the formulas were already set up, because one bad cell can throw everything off. That saved me from rechecking every tab and let me share cleaner numbers with my team.
