Where finance quietly breaks down in professional services
Work moves across clients and timelines, making finance harder to track.
Client Profitability Gets Unclear
Revenue may look healthy, but profitability is harder to see. Team time, delivery costs, and scope creep often eat into margins - making it difficult to know which clients are truly driving growth and which ones are draining resources.
8–12 hours/month
spent reconciling client billing manually
Invoicing and Cash Flow Become Unpredictable
Professional service cash flow rarely follows a smooth cycle. Invoices go out late, payments come in slower than expected, and billing varies across retainers and projects - making it stressful to plan payroll, hiring, and future investments confidently.

Month-End Reporting Turns Into Firefighting
As your firm grows, month-end becomes a scramble. Data sits across multiple tools, reconciliations take time, and reporting is often delayed - leaving leaders without clear, timely numbers when they need them most.
