I have some new revenue logic that fits perfectly with this kind of a professional services business model. Think about any organization that has professionals working for it and bills out time to clients at some hourly or daily rate. CPA and law firms are a perfect example, but also talent / creative art / photography agencies and general 'Request for Proposal' or RFP businesses fit perfectly. This also applies to a consulting firm of nearly any kind.

Preferred Equity Model - Up to 10 Years - Includes Common Equity Waterfall
In the last series of preferred return templates, I said I was going to do a preferred equity version. Well, I have done so and this is it. Also included is an optional common equity waterfall that sits below the preferred hurdle. I think the logic here is super cool as well as useful. It lets the user look at possible cash flows given various project funding structures.

Multi-family Real Estate Acquisition Excel Model - Includes IRR Hurdles and Refinance Options
I have done quite a few real estate models over the years. This forecasting template was made for quick underwriting analysis. The main output is an annual pro forma, cash flow waterfall with IRR hurdles (optional) and logic to account for a dynamic refinance liquidity event. All of these things affect the cash flow that is available and how it is split as well as the overall return on investment of the project.
Economics of a Zoo / Aquarium / Amusement Park: Startup Financial Model
Yes, most Zoos and Aquariums run as non-profits, but that doesn't mean they don't need financial planning. It is just that they don't distribute profits nor are supposed to have profits. They simply have cash in and out and all extra cash is supposed to be re-invested by the operator. Often times, a Zoo will be run by the government rather than private industry, but it depends on where you are in the world. This excel model allows the user to do the planning of startup costs and on-going operations really well.
SaaS Model - Ratio Driven Growth - For Startups
I have done quite a few SaaS financial models and quite a few more customizations therein. One of the main build-ups I had not done is one based on the ratio between different employee types combined with quota attainment of account executives. The below template offers this modelling style.

This fully functional and inter-connected Excel template has 3 financial statements functioning on it. Typically called a 3-statement financial model, it is commonly requested for startups by investors/creditors.

Security System / Alarm Services Startup Financial Model - Includes Expansion MRR and Negative Churn
Security systems / alarm services businesses fall into the product + service systems business category. This financial model was built specifically for security and alarm services businesses. It is very similar to a regular SaaS business where you have monthly recurring revenue for subscribers, except you will also make margins on installation of hardware.
When and How Much Inventory to Reorder: Excel Template
This is a useful Excel template to manage inventory reordering based on a few variable inputs per SKU. The logic in this model will display useful metrics to help you stay on top of inventory levels.

Enjoy this useful KPI scorecard template built in Excel. There are many approaches one can take to gauge the overall health of their organization or business. Often the best way is with a KPI dashboard that has a 12-month view and an annual total.
Product + Service: 5-Year Financial Model
This is one of the more important Excel spreadsheets I have been looking to build for a while now and I am really happy with the way it turned out. Product + Service, just means you sell a product (such as an elliptical machine or some tangible product for a one time fee) and you attach a paid subscription service add-on to it. There are many examples, such as adding fitness trainers that come on the screen of your elliptical or a security monitoring system.
Google Sheets Database Reporting: Multiple Criteria
There are severe limitations to the Google Sheet filter formula. For example, if you have a database composed of many columns it will be difficult to filter with multiple criteria and logic.
Template for Marketing Spend Return on Investment - Recurring Revenue
When I first thought about the difficulties of this calculation, I realized it is probably something nearly any recurring revenue business model struggles to figure out accurately. The problem is figuring out the ROI (return on investment) of the money you spend in a given month on sales/marketing as it relates to the future revenue directly related to that spend.

This is a simple template that anyone can use to manage employee schedules. It is based on a weekly time-frame and has a lot of smart summaries to check the schedule that you have submitted.
10-Year Financial Model for ATM Machine Business Startup
I have been looking for a new and different type of financial model to build over the last few months and I came across the ATM industry. There are some barriers to entry, such as regulations involving AML, data privacy, and accessibility for disabled individuals. Usually, you can get set up with an ATM processing company to protect you and they will take a fee per transaction. It also helps to have good relationships with vendors / merchants where you are plan to deploy the machines.
