We've been working on putting together the perfect MS Excel workbook that can be used to make our Sponsorship Program run as smoothly as possible. Something that can help us forecast out based on predicted retention rates, conversion rates, trail to join, etc.

We want the expenses, revenue, profit and loss broken down per site.

This is quite a task but something that must be done. The funny thing that I've found is that when asking around I've noticed that most of the people I know in this business don't have anything in place to track and predict cash flow, etc.

What are you guys doing out there in GFY land?
That is something any serious webmaster should be using. I want a copy - let's see if we can implement it with MPA2 too. As it is right now, and I am sure you are using it, the MPA2 will run profit reports and break down what you HAVE DONE in order to use this in your projections...
