Inside your
financial model.
Follow the path from an operating assumption to a financial result. These modules can form the model; the reporting detail, forecast period and scenarios follow your agreed scope.
Build sales from customers, transactions, occupied capacity, contracts or product units. Separate revenue streams so you can see which assumptions actually drive growth.
- What informs the work
- Prices, volumes, conversion, repeat purchases, retention and the sales ramp for each revenue stream.
- What it gives you
- A revenue schedule you can update and explain, with the operating drivers behind each forecast.
01 / THE QUESTIONS THAT SHAPE THE WORK
A useful result starts
with the right questions.
I connect the work to your business, your audience and the next decision.
01
How much cash will we need?
Connect startup costs, working capital, operating performance and financing to see where the plan requires funding.
02
What drives the outcome?
Make the assumptions explicit: customers, pricing, capacity, margins, hiring and the timing of growth.
03
What changes under another scenario?
Compare slower sales, higher costs, different investment schedules or an alternative operating plan.
02 / THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
From the first brief
to the final files.
Custom projects start at $2,500 USD. The exact scope follows your objective and the complexity of the work. I agree the deliverables, review stages, timeline and final fee before starting.
Explore pricing & packages01
Operating assumptions
A clear structure for revenue, costs, staffing, capital expenditure and working capital, using the drivers that fit your business.
02
Connected statements
An integrated income statement, cash flow and balance sheet, with a forecast period and level of detail suited to the decision.
03
Scenarios & decision metrics
Relevant operating metrics, funding requirements and sensitivities. Important assumptions are visible and documented.
04
An editable model
Organized inputs, usable outputs and a walkthrough of the logic, so the model can support future updates.
03 / A LOOK INSIDE
See how the detail
comes together.
Source template previews from FinancialModelsLab. These illustrate document structure; your custom project follows its own brief and assumptions.
Read the dashboard as a summary of connected schedules: revenue mix, profitability and cash each answer a different question about the same operating plan.
The customer tiers and subscription assumptions show why software revenue needs more detail than one growth rate. Acquisition, pricing and retention should remain visible.
Compare the low, base and high views to see how a change in revenue assumptions flows into margins and operating profit. A useful comparison keeps the definitions consistent.
Monthly and annual views serve different purposes: the monthly schedule shows timing, while the annual summary makes the overall financial direction easier to discuss.
THE RIGHT FORMAT FOR YOUR NEXT STEP
Build it for the way you will use it.
An existing business
Start with historical performance, distinguish current operations from planned changes and create a structure for comparing actual results with the forecast.
A funding conversation
Connect the funding request to the operating plan, use of funds and milestones. Show the assumptions behind the base plan and relevant alternatives.
04 / PREPARING FOR THE WORK
Bring the context.
Start with what you have.
I identify the useful inputs after the first conversation. Existing materials can help establish the starting point.
- A description of how the business earns revenue
- Historical financials and operating data if available
- Pricing, volume and cost assumptions
- Staffing, investment and financing plans
- The decision, recipient and forecast period
