industries
Excel for professional services firms - utilisation project margins and WIP in one Excel place without buying a new platform. 5 KPIs the partner opens monthly. Senior-led fixed scope from ₹6K.
Professional services firms live or die by the partner P&L, the utilisation rate and the WIP schedule. They are also the three numbers most often built by hand the night before the partner meeting. We turn them into a refresh-driven dashboard that the practice leads, the finance team and the partners can all read from the same file.
What we usually see
What we ship
A utilisation, realisation and project margin dashboard refreshed weekly
WIP, debtors and unbilled revenue with aging buckets and owner assignment
A partner P&L that is the same numbers the practice leads are looking at

Industry rules
Whatever the industry - finance, retail, CA, manufacturing - these are the six rules I never skip.
Norm 01
We don't ship generic dashboards into a CA practice or a manufacturing plant. Patterns are tuned to the industry's data shape and cadence.
Norm 02
Audit trails, segregation of duties, signed approvals - built into the workbook from day one, not bolted on after the auditor flags it.
Norm 03
Reports that don't reconcile are decorative. Every industry build ends with a checks tab that proves the numbers tie out.
Norm 04
Monthly close, daily stock, weekly AR - the build matches the operating cadence. No workbooks that 'refresh quarterly' on a daily business.
Norm 05
You talk to the senior who has shipped into your industry before. No juniors learning on your time, no account managers in the loop.
Norm 06
Industry data is sensitive. Standard NDA before any workbook is exchanged. Data stays inside the engagement, not on a shared drive.
