For professional services

Give every engagement a clearer path to billing.

Connect client conversations, agreed scope, project work and invoices for a service business that needs a more consistent commercial routine.

Carry the agreed scope into delivery

Use the eligible quotation-to-project or billing handoff and keep the engagement and reviewed time connected.

Explain the work behind the invoice

Review approvals, linked corrections, materials and supported payroll attribution when investigating project results.

A clearer record for the work around the work

The advice or service may be clear, while the administration behind it is spread across messages and documents. Keep the engagement’s commercial record available when a colleague or client needs an answer.

Keep project progress and recorded work together.

A working routine for your business

1. Capture the enquiry and responsible person.

2. Agree the service and fee in a quotation.

3. Record the project and work performed.

4. Review billing and received payments.

Time to billing

Bring reviewed work into the billing conversation.

  1. Recorded time
  2. Review eligibility
  3. Select eligible entries
  4. Prepare invoice
  5. Excluded entries

Picture it in your working day

For example: A consultancy agrees a diagnostic engagement and records the work in a project. At billing review, the team checks the quotation and recorded effort before issuing the invoice.

Before you choose your setup

Can time need approval before billing?

Yes. Check the applicable approval state and agreement; closed projects and linked corrections follow their supported controls.

Does this establish regulated client-money compliance?

No. Assess trust accounting, escrow and profession-specific obligations separately.
