This FREE SaaS Financial Model Has Raised Millions
The most downloaded Excel sheet in my circle. Used by founders to plan raises, extend runway, and close investors
Ben Murray built this SaaS Model for founders.
Not accountants. Not corporate CFOs.
Just you, trying to make good decisions and not run out of money.
Why It Works
Unlike most templates, this one is:
One single model — everything (revenue, cost, hiring, cash) flows together
Input-light — just change yellow cells and the rest updates
Unit economics-ready — it shows how every new customer affects your burn
Battle-tested — used by founders who’ve raised from top-tier funds
It gives you clarity over your cash.
And clarity builds confidence, for you and your investors.
What’s Inside the Model
Controls
Dates, currency, tax rate, share count: set your global assumptions
Revenue Drivers
3 customizable product lines: input logos, churn, pricing, and upsell
Cost Assumptions
Role-by-role hiring plan, salaries, opex buckets: all linked to runway and burn
Outputs
Monthly P&L, cash flow, balance sheet
Board-ready charts for growth, margins, headcount, and more
SaaS Metrics
CAC, LTV, Payback, Magic Number, Gross Margin, ACS: all live and auto-calculated
Benchmarks
Compare your metrics to industry medians for early-stage SaaS
Who Should Use This
This model works best if you’re:
A founder raising your first or next round
A finance lead planning budgets or investor updates
An investor or advisor pressure-testing a startup’s numbers
A fractional CFO needing a plug-and-play framework for clients…
Whether you’re at pre-seed or Series B, this will help you understand and communicate your numbers like a pro.
