For Professional Services

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
  • utilisation
  • project accounting

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

The spreadsheets we work with.

  • Timesheets and utilisation trackers maintained by every practice lead
  • Project budgets maintained in different templates across regions
  • WIP, debtor and unbilled revenue spreadsheets that lag the GL by weeks
  • Partner P&L packs that are stitched together the night before the partner meeting

What we ship

The deliverables, in plain English.

  • 01

    A utilisation, realisation and project margin dashboard refreshed weekly

  • 02
