CASH FLOW MANAGEMENT EXCEL DESCRIPTION
The Cash Flow Template for SaaS has been designed by Oak Business Consultant in order to understand the cash-ins and cash-outs for a SaaS Company. This model is an excellent tool to estimate the cash flows for a subscription-based software services provider.
The Cash Flow Template for SaaS tool helps the owners/ investors/ lenders understand the cash flows for a SaaS company over a period of five years. It consists of both yearly and monthly cash flows.
Further, the two main streams, the monthly subscription fees and the one-time registration fees paid by the new subscribers, are used to compute revenues. The monthly churn rate is used to calculate the number of total users.
Moreover, the Cash Flow Template for SaaS also evaluates the cost of acquisition of customers (CAC), which is the variable costs, the fixed costs based on monthly breakdowns, the monthly and yearly cash burn, monthly and annual recurring revenues, the customer lifetime value (CLV) and CAC/CLV ratio. It consists of the following sheets:
Input Assumptions
The input assumptions are specific to the SaaS business model. These provide flexibility to the tool. They can be changed as per user requirements, and the relevant numbers will change automatically.
Depreciation & Amortization
This sheet has been added to compute the fixed assets' monthly depreciation amount. It also computes the monthly interest and the loan repayment value for each month for five years.
Operating Cash Flows
This sheet has been prepared to calculate monthly and yearly operating cash flows. It starts by estimating the net subscribers for each month. Then it presents the figures for monthly and annual recurring revenues. It also provides gross profit margins. Finally, it represents CAC-CLV analysis as well.
Cash Flow Statement
This sheet is prepared to estimate the monthly and yearly cash flows over the period of the next five years. It provides the net cash flows after estimating the cash flows from financing and investing activities and adding these to the operating cash flows.
