Rolling Revenue SaaS Forecasting Template in Excel
This is a pain point for any finance department or CFO or consultant that is charged with producing regular rolling revenue forecasts for a SaaS company. The future customers are not so bad, but figuring out the best way to account for revenue of existing customers is much more difficult if you want to do it properly. This involves knowing when customers joined, retention rates, and easily being able to update this over time to continue to get good numbers. The template you see here accomplishes just that.
Cumulative Distribution Joint Venture Cash Flow Model
This model is setup so that the cash flow splits between the LP and GP are based on the total cash that has been distributed to the LP over time. As the LP receives cumulatively more distributions, the cash flow share can be adjusted. It runs for up to 60 periods (to give max usability for annual or monthly period) and includes final effective percentage share per period and overall IRR for the periods defined. If it is a monthly analysis, just multiple the IRR by 12.
Accounting Ratios: Comprehensive Financial Statement Analysis Tool

Mixed-Use Real Estate Model: Leverage and Joint Venture Options
This is one of the most satisfying financial models I have done in the real estate space. It is for mixed-use properties, which means an investment in a given location / cluster of locations and each area can be used for different things i.e. residential / offices / food places / or what have you. Each 'use' is separated into its own development costs, operating assumptions, and exit caps, but they are all consolidated on the same model timeline with this Excel template. Model for up to 10 years.
Flat Fee or Fixed Fee Lending Business: 10-Year Financial Model
This type of lending business was spawned from the original lending business financial model I did awhile back. The difference in this kind of business model is that a fixed percentage or 'fee' is charged based on the total amount borrowed. There is no monthly interest or compounding interest. Also, this kind of endeavor is usually funded with leverage that is lower cost than the flat fee being collected from customers and usually the difference is substantial as that is where the margin is made.
CAGR - Compounding Average Growth Rate
This is a very simple, but easily forgetting formula that many people in finance or research use. The goal of the CAGR (compounding average growth rate) is to figure out the exact percentage that a beginning value must grow at per period in order to reach a final value in a given number of periods.

Cash Conversion Cycle: Excel Quarterly Tracker
Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) is an efficiency metric that comes up in the management of any business that deals with inventory. The goal is to figure out how long it will take (in days) to turn cash that is invested into inventory back into profits. In order for any organization to calculate this, they will just need a few items from the financial statements.
Self Storage Investment Analysis: Multi-fund Ramping
I actually found a twitter thread talking about scaling into self storage facilities (entering a deal, exiting, using those proceeds for a new deal, etc...) but there was not a lot of nuance or detail on how you can get from A to B and what kind of deal structure was used for the joint venture. So, I built a model that has all the logic to figure this out based on assumptions for up to 6 deals. (you can use it for just 1 deal as well)
General Rental Business Financial Model: Equipment, Furniture, Devices
If your business rents capital assets out to other businesses or people, this financial planner will help. I have done a bit of financial modeling in the equipment rental space. This MS Excel spreadsheet offers a general 5-year startup rental business template that can be used for any tangible good category. The model is simple (plan out purchase batches and how much your daily rental rate/utilization will be). The rental business is always booming!
How to Calculate Inventory Within a 3-Statement Financial Model
Inventory is complicated and figuring out the right formulas to use so the three statement model balances can be difficult even if you understand the Accounting entries. This will show the proper financial forecasting of all the items that effect inventory over time.

DCF Analysis with Robust Sensitivity Tables
A discounted cash flow analysis will help determine if the future cash flows are worth the risk of investment based on applying various required rates of return (discount rates) to the future cash flows. It is a widely accepted and used concept in valuation. This Excel template was built to show various NPV against up to 6 discount rate inputs.
Update to Enterprise SaaS Financial Model - Showing Cash Flow if Customer Receipts are Collected at Beginning of Contract Instead of Amortized
I built an enterprise SaaS financial model a few months ago to allow for the planning of startups where customers might have varying contract lengths i.e. 12 month contracts or what have you. The new update was a simple 'yes/no' configuration option so the user of this model can show cash flow accurately. For example, some organizations may collect the full value of the contract up front. With the new update, that can now be accounted for in the resulting cash flow and effect IRR/equity requirements/contributions/distributions. Also, check out this SaaS Rolling Revenue Forecast.
New Model Upgrade: Mobile Home Park / General Multi-Family Real Estate
This is just a notification to let everyone know the MHP model has been upgraded. You can find it here. The upgrade involves logic that I have been asked to do a few times, but just didn't have the time to get into. The reason why it has taken so much effort is that the usability is geared toward the purchase/construction of many parks or many properties over a longer period (up to 16 years).
Car Salesperson: Performance Tracker
This is an awesome template that anybody who sells cars can use to track performance, keep appointments, and more The main benefits include better organization, follow-ups, and win rate analysis.

10 Year Driving Range Financial Model - Monthly and Annual
This driving range financial projection template was fun to build. It includes a nice capacity matrix for seasonality that may have a lot of other uses for all sorts of industries. The model goes out for a period of 10 years and shows monthly and annual granularity with a ton of visuals. There are revenue and expense assumptions that can be used for robust sensitivity and cash flow analysis.
SaaS: Should You Offer a Discount at Cancellation?
I have done a wide range of SaaS financial models. One interesting aspect that such companies may be looking into or looking to optimize is retention rate. Retention rate just means the users that stay with your services over a period of time. The higher the retention rate, the better (meaning lower churn rate). One way to increase retention is by offering pricing discounts at the point of cancellation. Also, check out this SaaS Rolling Revenue Forecast.
Economics of an Ad Network: 5 Year Financial Model
An ad network connects ad inventory from publishers to advertiser demand. It can be considered a marketplace in most cases. By connecting these two groups, the ad network provides value and takes a fee for such value.
