Where margin leaks

The work gets done. It is everything around it that leaks.

In a firm, profitability almost never hinges on the quality of the work, but on what was never logged, billed or found in time.

Lost hours

Time is logged from memory, on Friday

What is not logged in the moment is never billed. Margin vanishes before the invoice exists.

Billing lag

Invoices go out weeks too late

Manual compilation, partner back-and-forth, follow-ups: collection slips by a full month.

Client context

The file lives in inboxes

Deliverable versions, approvals and attachments scattered: nobody can pick up a file without its author.

Team load

Nobody sees real capacity

Engagements are accepted on instinct, with no view of hours already committed per profile and week.

Engagement lifecycle

One single chain, from opportunity to collection.

Each step feeds the next. That is what removes re-entry and makes profitability legible along the way.

  1. 01

    Opportunity

    Prospect, source and estimated value enter a pipeline shared by all partners.

  2. 02

    Engagement letter

    Scope, fees and conflicts checked, then e-signature and automatic file opening.

  3. 03

    Delivery and time

    Time captured in seconds, on mobile or inside the tool the team already uses.

  4. 04

    Deliverables and approvals

    Versions, comments and client approvals centralized in their space, time-stamped.

  5. 05

    Billing and collection

    Draft invoice generated from actual time, reviewed by the partner, sent and chased automatically.

By practice type

A shared foundation, rules specific to each profession.

A tax season you steer instead of survive.

  • Client document collection through a secure portal with an automatic checklist
  • Progress tracking per file, per preparer and per tax deadline
  • Fixed-fee or hourly billing, reconciled with your accounting system

Partner dashboard

Four numbers are enough to run a firm.

They already exist in your data. The work is making them available weekly, without an assistant spending two days rebuilding them.

Utilization rate

Share of billable hours per profile, per week, with no manual compilation.

Fee realization

Gap between hours logged and hours actually billed and collected.

Time to invoice

Days between a deliverable's completion and the matching invoice being sent.

Margin per engagement

Profitability per client, per engagement type and per responsible partner.

Client space

The portal that replaces the email thread.

Your clients mostly want to know where their file stands and what you need from them. A polished, bilingual and secure space removes most follow-ups.

  • Document upload with checklist and automatic reminders
  • Engagement progress and upcoming deadlines at a glance
  • Time-stamped deliverable approval that stands as proof
  • Invoice review and payment in the same place

Frequent questions

The questions partners ask us.

By reducing entry to a few seconds: one-click timer, suggestions from calendar and email, mobile capture. The goal is not surveillance, but making sure hours already worked do not disappear.
