What's Inside — 9 Professional Sheets

📋 Cover Sheet
A polished landing page that includes a full color-coding guide (so any user immediately knows which cells to edit and which to leave alone), a workbook navigation menu, and quick-start instructions. Ready to present to investors or management on day one.

⚙️ Assumptions — Master Control Panel
The engine of the entire model. All inputs live here: company information, base-year revenue, year-by-year growth rates, gross margin, operating expense ratios, working capital days (DSO, DPO, DIO), capital expenditure rates, opening balance sheet values, and tax rate. Adjust any assumption and watch every downstream sheet recalculate automatically. Gold-highlighted cells tell you exactly where to focus.

📊 Revenue Forecast
A multi-driver, bottom-up revenue build across four business segments: Subscription / SaaS, Professional Services, Marketplace / Transactional, and Other Revenue. Each segment is independently sized as a percentage of total company revenue, giving you full control over your revenue mix. Includes a year-over-year growth analysis, incremental revenue calculation, segment mix table, and a live 5-year CAGR auto-calculated from your inputs. Comes with an embedded line chart that visualises your revenue trajectory at a glance.

📉 P&L Projection (Income Statement)
A complete, GAAP-structured five-year income statement covering every line from Total Revenue down to Net Income. Includes Cost of Goods Sold, Gross Profit, Sales & Marketing, Research & Development, G&A, Depreciation & Amortization, EBITDA, EBIT, EBT, Tax, and Net Income — all with automatic margin percentages displayed in a dedicated column. A Key Performance Metrics section at the bottom tracks Revenue Growth, Gross Margin, EBITDA Margin, and Net Income Margin across all five years.

💵 Cash Flow Statement
A fully correct indirect-method cash flow statement covering all three sections: Operating, Investing, and Financing Activities. Working capital movements are calculated using the textbook methodology — DSO, DPO, and DIO drive changes in Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, and Inventory based on the period-over-period change in revenue and COGS. CapEx is split between Maintenance and Growth spend. A rolling cash balance tracks Opening and Closing Cash for every year, and both definitions of Free Cash Flow are calculated (with and without growth CapEx).

🏦 Balance Sheet
A projected five-year balance sheet with a proper double-entry structure that always balances. Assets include a full working capital block (Cash, AR, Inventory, Other CA) plus a PP&E roll-forward (Opening PP&E + CapEx − Depreciation) and Intangibles. Liabilities include Accounts Payable, Accrued Liabilities, Deferred Revenue, and Long-term Debt. Equity is anchored to your Opening Common Stock and Opening Retained Earnings from the Assumptions sheet, with Retained Earnings building up through cumulative net income each year. A built-in Balance Check row confirms the model is in balance — it must always show $0.

🎯 KPI Dashboard
An executive-facing summary dashboard designed for board packs and investor updates. Four large scorecard tiles display your headline metrics at a glance: Total 5-Year Revenue, 2029 EBITDA Margin, 5-Year Revenue CAGR, and 2029 Free Cash Flow. Below the scorecards, an embedded grouped bar chart compares Revenue, Gross Profit, and EBITDA across all five years, and a line chart tracks all three margin percentages over the projection period. The dashboard updates automatically every time you change an assumption — no manual refresh required.

🔀 Scenario Analysis — Bull / Base / Bear
A structured three-scenario comparison framework that lets you stress-test your business plan against optimistic, base, and pessimistic growth assumptions — all on a single sheet. Define independent growth rates for each of the five projection years under each scenario, along with scenario-specific gross margin and EBITDA margin assumptions. The output summary automatically calculates projected revenue for each year, 2029 Gross Profit, 2029 EBITDA, and the 5-Year CAGR under every scenario. An embedded bar chart visualises the 2029 revenue spread across all three scenarios — a powerful visual for investor presentations.

🔬 Sensitivity Analysis — Two-Variable Heatmaps
Two fully formatted 7×7 sensitivity tables that allow you to see at a glance how your key outputs change across a range of assumption combinations. Both tables use Excel conditional colour-scale formatting — green for high outcomes, red for low, yellow for mid-range — making the risk/reward profile immediately legible. A built-in interpretation guide explains how to read the tables and how to use them in investor decks.
