One input sheet. Three statements, a KPI page, and a dashboard downstream.
Eight tabs in total, including a cover sheet and a written instruction sheet. Sample data ships in the file, so you can see a completed, balanced model before you change a single input.
Assumptions
Everything you control on one page: entity and forecast period, revenue drivers (product, service and subscription), pre-operation and ongoing costs, COGS and opex, capex, working capital, debt and equity funding, and the tax rate. Yellow cells with blue text are the only ones you edit.
Three linked statements
The income statement, balance sheet and cash flow, fully linked and self-balancing across five years — with a check row on the balance sheet that stays at zero. Change an assumption and all three re-tie automatically.
KPI sheet
20+ ratios in one place: profitability and return (ROA, ROE, ROIC), liquidity, leverage and solvency, efficiency (cash conversion cycle, asset turnover), and cash-flow metrics (FCF margin, CFO/EBITDA) — each across the full forecast.
Plus a one-page dashboard and the schedules that feed the model.
Dashboard
The whole model on one page — headline P&L, margins, returns and cash — built for a board slide or an investor update rather than a scroll through the workings.
Debt schedule
Debt drawdown, interest and repayment worked separately, then fed into the interest line, the cash flow, and the balance sheet — so financing flows through the model correctly.
Fixed assets & depreciation
Capex, gross fixed assets, accumulated depreciation and net book value on their own schedule, driving the depreciation charge and the balance-sheet asset line.
Every assumption on one sheet. Nothing hardcoded in the statements.
The reason most spreadsheet models cannot be reviewed — or trusted — is that assumptions are scattered through the workings, so a reviewer cannot tell an input from a calculation. Here every input lives on one sheet, in yellow, and the statements contain no hardcoded numbers at all.
Because it is built for a new business, pre-operation costs are handled explicitly and revenue is split into drivers you can forecast separately, rather than one blended growth rate that hides how the business actually scales.
Three tabs that do not talk to each other are not a model.
Plenty of "models" are three separate tabs that each look fine on their own. The test is whether they tie: net income has to flow to retained earnings and to the cash flow; capex has to hit the balance sheet and depreciation; debt has to move interest, cash and liabilities together. If any link is missing, the balance sheet stops balancing.
That is why the balance check matters. A model that self-balances is one where every assumption flows through all three statements correctly — so when you change revenue, or add a debt draw, or push capex out a year, you can trust that the whole picture updated, not just the tab you were looking at.
It is also what a lender or investor looks for first. A model that ties tells them the numbers are internally consistent before they even judge whether the assumptions are reasonable. One that does not tie ends the conversation early.
Fill one sheet. Read three statements.
Every input sits on the assumptions tab; nothing downstream needs touching.
General info & revenue
Entity, forecast period, currency and revenue start date, then your revenue drivers — product, service and subscription — entered separately so each can be forecast on its own terms.
Costs & operating expenses
Pre-operation direct costs, COGS as a percentage of revenue, and operating expenses. The pre-operation lines are what make this work for a business that spends before it sells.
Capital, debt & funding
Capex, working-capital assumptions, long-term debt and equity contributions, and the tax rate. The debt and fixed-asset schedules do the rest.
Read the outputs
The three linked statements, the KPI sheet and the dashboard build themselves — and the balance check confirms it all ties, every year.
Honest qualification. No fluff.
This model is for you if:
- You are starting a new business or launching a new venture and need a five-year financial plan.
- You need a proper, linked three-statement model — not three disconnected tabs.
- A lender, investor, or board wants projections that tie and balance.
- You have pre-operation costs to model before revenue begins.
- You can split revenue into a few drivers and estimate cost and margin assumptions.
- You want the ratios and a dashboard produced for you, not built by hand.
This is not for you if:
- You need a formal valuation opinion or a written report — that is a different engagement.
- You need multi-entity consolidation or FX-aware forecasting in one file.
- You need scenario or Monte-Carlo analysis across many variables at once.
- You want a short-term, weekly cash tool — a 13-week cash flow fits better.
- Your business is established with years of actuals you would rather model from directly.
This is a self-serve model built to a defensible standard. If you would rather we build it around your business — or review one you already have before a raise — book a call and we will do it with you.
Questions about the model, answered honestly.
What format is the model?
What does "three-statement" actually mean?
Is this for a new business or an existing one?
Do I need to be an Excel expert to use it?
Is this really free? Any catch?
What if I need it built or reviewed properly for a raise?
A template gets you a first draft. A model that survives diligence is built.
This model is built to a defensible standard, but a raise or a board process asks more of it: assumptions that hold up, scenarios, and a build a reviewer trusts line by line. EasePro's Financial Modeling Services build it around your business — and review the one you already have.
