About this model
Suma Wealth is an all-in-one fintech platform for Latino youth, combining in-culture content, AI coaching, and savings tools to address the Latino wealth gap. Its brand and community are designed to make financial education and action more relevant to its target audience.
The company has two commercial pillars: enterprise campaigns, consumer insights, and lead generation sold to financial-services brands, plus direct and enterprise-sponsored memberships. This creates a hybrid media, services, and consumer-subscription model.
The model should separately forecast enterprise contracts, campaign revenue, repeat rate, membership users, conversion, monthly ARPU, and churn. Content and community costs, enterprise sales productivity, and member-acquisition costs should be allocated by revenue stream rather than collapsed into one generic SaaS margin.
A turnkey financial model
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.

Recommended financial model
- Archetype + why: Dual-stream consumer fintech model - D2C subscription (membership ARR) + B2B enterprise revenue (annual contracts/campaigns). The B2B enterprise stream behaves like a professional-services / media-sales P&L (project-based, high repeat rate); the D2C stream is a subscription ARR model. Given the hybrid nature, build a combined model with two distinct revenue blocks rather than a pure SaaS ARR or pure DTC model. Non-dilutive grant revenue treated as a third, non-recurring line.
- Forecast horizon & granularity: 3 years (2024–2026), monthly for Year 1 (cash-flow visibility at seed stage), annual for Years 2–3. Monthly cohort tracking for D2C membership.
- Key drivers & assumptions:
*D2C Membership stream*
- Total registered users: 1,000,000; conversion to paid membership rate
- Monthly membership price
- Monthly churn rate
- New user growth rate
- Family multiplier effect: 3x stated - model as a qualitative reach multiplier for B2B pricing, not a direct D2C revenue driver
*B2B / Enterprise Sales Revenue*
- Number of enterprise clients
- Average contract value per enterprise engagement
- 87% repeat rate → model as 87% revenue renewal + upsell factor
- New enterprise client adds per year
*Non-dilutive / Grants* -
*Cost structure*
- Headcount: 6 named founders/leads; total team size not disclosed
- COGS: platform hosting, AI coaching infra, content production
- S&M: community-led, high organic engagement (17X industry avg)
- G&A
- Scenarios (Base / Bull / Bear - which variables flex):
- Base: 4% D2C conversion, 40% new user growth, $80K avg enterprise contract, 4 new logos/year
- Bull: 6% D2C conversion, 55% user growth (sustained 2023 momentum), $120K avg contract, 6 new logos
- Bear: 2% D2C conversion, 20% user growth, $50K avg contract, 2 new logos; grant revenue zero
- Required sheets / outputs:
- Assumptions - all drivers with toggle for Base/Bull/Bear
- User Funnel - registered → active → paid; monthly cohort table
- D2C Revenue - MRR/ARR by cohort, churn waterfall
- Enterprise Revenue - client count × ACV, renewal matrix
- Non-dilutive Revenue - grant schedule
- P&L - consolidated IS (Revenue, COGS, Gross Profit, OpEx by line, EBITDA)
- Cash Flow & Runway - monthly burn, cash balance, months of runway
- Dashboard - KPI summary (users, paid subs, ARR, enterprise clients, burn, runway)

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!
