Annual Operating Plan (AOP) Builder
The plan you set the year by: revenue built up stream by stream, cost of sales, and operating expenses by category — twelve months across, with gross profit and operating income falling out for you.
Open the tool →Recurring Revenue Model (SaaS / Subscriptions)
Build a subscription revenue forecast the way investors read it: new customers, ARPA, churn, and expansion drive a monthly MRR/ARR build, with the new → expansion → churn bridge tying out automatically. Industry presets for SaaS, memberships, subscription boxes, and retainers.
Open the tool →Capacity & Utilization Revenue Model
Forecast revenue for a capacity business: units × sellable slots × utilization × price, plus ancillary revenue. Industry presets for salons, restaurants, hotels, clinics, trucking/fleet, and professional services — tune capacity, occupancy, and rate and watch revenue (and RevPAR-style yield) build month by month.
Open the tool →Funnel / Transaction Revenue Model
Forecast a paid-acquisition business: spend → sessions → orders → revenue, with returns, repeat purchases, CAC, and contribution. Industry presets for ecommerce/DTC, marketplaces (take rate), and lead generation — see how spend and conversion translate into revenue month by month.
Open the tool →3-Statement Financial Model
Set a handful of assumptions — growth, margins, working-capital days, capex, financing — and project a fully linked income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow three years out, monthly. The balance sheet balances and cash ties, automatically.
Open the tool →Cash Runway Calculator
How many months of cash you have — counted the way a CFO would. Set your cash on hand, what you collect, and your monthly burn, and it solves runway both ways: the flat-burn number, and the honest one that grows burn and collections forward to the month cash actually hits zero — or shows you're default alive. Then it prices the levers: trim burn, collect faster, and watch the runway move.
Open the tool →Budget vs. Actual (Monthly P&L)
A month's P&L with plan set beside reality and the variance computed for you — so every number turns into feedback instead of weather.
Open the tool →Unit Economics Calculator (by business model)
What one order, subscription, billable hour, or cover actually earns — the profit hiding in a single sale that your P&L nets away and QuickBooks won't break out. Switch between D2C, SaaS, services, and restaurant models and it resolves the three-margin ladder (gross → contribution → net) plus the reads each model lives by: CAC payback, LTV:CAC, break-even utilization, prime cost, and break-even covers. Download a branded Excel where every result is a live formula off your inputs.
Open the tool →CAC & LTV Calculator (Ecommerce Unit Economics)
The number every ecommerce founder needs and the books can't give you: how much you can afford to pay for a customer. Set your order value, margin, and repeat rate against your ad spend, and it solves CAC, a contribution-based LTV, the LTV:CAC ratio, payback period, break-even ROAS, and your maximum profitable CAC — with a sensitivity table showing how the ratio and payback move as CAC changes. Built for DTC and online stores.
Open the tool →Break-Even & Contribution Margin Calculator
The number every owner should know: how much you have to sell to cover your costs. Set price, variable cost, and your fixed costs, and it solves break-even in units and revenue — then shows your margin of safety, the volume to hit a profit target, and how break-even moves when you change price.
Open the tool →Price / Volume / Mix Bridge
Revenue or margin moved — but why? Enter what you sold in two periods, line by line, and it splits the change into the three things that actually cause it: price (you charged more or less), volume (you sold more or fewer units), and mix (you sold a different blend of products). Add unit costs and it does the same for gross profit, isolating a cost effect too. New and dropped lines are handled cleanly, the bridge always ties out to the penny, and the download recomputes every effect as a live Excel formula. The decomposition QuickBooks won't do for you.
Open the tool →Financial Health KPI Tracker
The vital signs on one page — margins, current ratio, days-to-get-paid, the cash conversion cycle, runway — tracked month over month with the formulas already in.
