Financial Model & Visual Construction for Board Presentation
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I’m looking for support in building a financial model and accompanying visual for a board presentation. The goal is to show break-even and profit growth over time for new AE hires.
What I need modeled:
Hiring cohorts: 4 AEs in Q3 and 5 AEs in Q4.
Compensation assumptions: $120K base salary + 25% burden rate (benefits/taxes) + 20% commission on net margin sold.
Ramp assumption: 18-month ramp to full productivity, with AEs expected to reach $250K in annual net margin at month 18. By month 12, they are expected to achieve ~50% productivity.
Outputs desired:
Cumulative P&L curve for each cohort and combined.
Break-even point identified and annotated.
Profit growth shown clearly beyond break-even (up to 4 years).
Clean, board-ready visual (waterfall, area chart, or other compelling format).
Underlying Excel model that shows all assumptions and calculations by month (costs, commissions, burden, margin booked).
Deliverables:
Excel model (with assumptions, AE-level detail, and cohort roll-up).
Visual chart(s) that make it easy for the board to see break-even timing and long-term profit potential.
