Building a financial model shouldn't take this long

You need financial projections. But every path is painful.

"I spent two weeks on a spreadsheet and it still doesn't work."

Building financial models from scratch takes 15–60 hours. Most people give up or produce something they can't trust.

"A freelancer quoted me $1,500. For a spreadsheet."

Hiring a financial analyst costs $300–$3,000. For many founders and managers, that's not in the budget.

"I don't even know what a DCF is."

You shouldn't need a finance degree to project your business's future. But every template assumes you have one.

How DraftPlan Works

Answer a few questions. Get a professional Excel model in minutes.

1

Describe Your Business

Answer a few simple questions about your revenue, costs, and goals. Our wizard guides you — no jargon, no blank spreadsheets. Smart defaults handle the rest. Not ready to share your numbers? Hit "Prefill with dummy data" to explore first — then customize everything locally.

AI Builds Your Model

Three specialized AI agents work together: one designs the structure, one builds the spreadsheet, and one stress-tests every formula. This is why your model is reliable — not just fast.

What's Inside Every Model

Not a template. A custom model built for your business.

Scenario Analysis

Every model comes with three scenarios: Conservative, Expected, and Optimistic. One-click toggle in Excel — change the scenario and the entire model recalculates instantly.

Real Excel Formulas

No hardcoded numbers. Every cell contains a real Excel formula you can inspect, modify, and extend. Blue cells are inputs. Black cells are calculations. Fully transparent.

Quality Checked

Before you download, an adversarial AI reviewer stress-tests every formula, validates scenario wiring, and checks for errors. You get a Validation Report showing exactly what was checked.

Key Differentiator

Ready in Minutes

A freelancer takes days. DIY takes weeks. DraftPlan delivers a professional model in under 5 minutes. Time you can spend running your business.

See What You'll Get

Why Not Just…

You have options. Here's why people pick DraftPlan.

vs Excel Templates
Templates are generic. You'll spend hours reworking formulas to fit your business—and still wonder if the logic is right.
DraftPlan builds a model custom to your business, with working formulas and scenarios. Ready in minutes, not hours.
vs ChatGPT
ChatGPT can talk about finance, but it can't produce a real Excel file with multi-tab formulas, scenario toggles, or a validation report.
DraftPlan delivers a professional .xlsx you can open, edit, and present to investors. Every formula works.
vs Hiring a Freelancer
A freelance financial modeler costs $500–$3,000 and takes days to weeks. Great if you have the budget and time. Most founders don't.
DraftPlan gives you the same quality—custom model, real formulas, scenario analysis—for $49–$59, delivered instantly.

One payment. A professional Excel file you own forever.

Financial Models That Don't Require a Finance Team

You know your business. We handle the spreadsheet.

Managers, Analysts & Consultants

Skip the tedious setup. Get a solid starting point with proper structure, scenario analysis, and formatting — then customize to your needs. Jump-start, not replacement.
