Sectors

Professional services

Utilisation, work in progress and cash for accountancy, legal, engineering and consulting firms, without a finance team spending the week in spreadsheets.

The problems we hear most

  • Utilisation and recovery rates arrive weeks after the month has closed
  • Work in progress and lock-up are a mystery until the bills go out
  • Partners each keep their own pipeline spreadsheet
  • Onboarding a new client means the same details typed into four systems

How we help professional services firms

Practice management systems hold the data; the problem is getting it out in a form a partner will read. We build Power BI reporting over systems such as Xero, Sage, CCH and Clio that shows utilisation, recovery, work in progress and lock-up by partner, team and client, updated every night.

Client onboarding, engagement letters and anti-money-laundering checks are process work. Power Automate and a Power App turn them into a flow that is tracked rather than chased by email.

For firms with a lot of documents, AI tools in Microsoft 365 summarise, classify and draft, with the guardrails your regulator expects.

Typical first projects

  • A partner dashboard of utilisation, recovery and lock-up, refreshed nightly
  • A client onboarding flow with the checks and approvals built in
  • A pipeline report that replaces the partners' individual spreadsheets
