About this pro forma
The full bike shop Excel model drives the pro forma from pre-season book orders and supplier tiers through current, prior-year and clearance inventory. It separately projects bikes, parts, accessories, apparel and service labour, with each vintage carrying booked cost and markdown economics.
The projected outputs show how purchasing decisions affect gross margin, dating days, working capital and cash. Test order buffers, sell-through, service attach and store economics.
What every model includes
Live formulas, no hardcoded values
Outputs are driven by live formulas, so the workbook updates from its assumptions instead of relying on hardcoded results.
All assumptions in one tab
Inputs are clearly marked in the Assumptions tab and separated from calculations, making it clear what to change and what to leave intact.
Statements always balancing
For integrated-statement models, the balance sheet, cash flow, and supporting schedules tie through properly.
Distinct schedules for clarity
Debt, working capital, taxes, and cash flow can get messy quickly. We group calculations in clear schedules, not across disconnected tabs.
No hidden macros or external links
There are no unexplained external workbook links or macros to undermine auditability or portability.
Changes flow through the model
Update a key driver and see the impact carry through the forecast, financing, and return outputs. We never use hardcoded numbers in formulas.

Created by ex-finance professionals
Hey, I’m Alex and I created Finamodel.
Over my years in the finance industry I kept building the same models over and over again. Same structure, same assumptions, different logo. So I started building frameworks to turn them into clean, reusable templates.
Every model here is one I’d actually use for a client, and I personally vet each one before it goes up.
I’m not an expert in every industry, but I’ve built enough models to know what belongs in one. And when something is completely foreign to me, I reach out to my network for experts to work on our models with us.
Having a template library on hand cuts a first build from hours to minutes.
Need help finding your model? You’ll find me in the Finamodel app!
Frequently asked
Why separate inventory vintages?+
Unsold bikes age through current, prior-year and clearance categories with distinct markdown and booked-cost economics.
What does the supplier tier affect?+
The commitment ratio determines projected wholesale cost and payment dating, linking purchasing to margin and cash.
How is service revenue calculated?+
An installed base rolls forward from bikes sold, then repair orders, ticket size and attach drive service revenue.
Can I test a smaller order?+
Yes. Change the book-order buffer and compare supplier tier, aged inventory, lost sales, margins and working capital.
