FP&A Software for Professional Services

Agencies and consultancies sell time, and time leaks silently. Utilization slips, projects overrun, and margins vanish before anyone notices. Reportly puts utilization, project margins, and cash on one live view. As a result, you spot a losing project in week two, not at invoice time.

Illustrative preview — not customer data

01 — The problem

What breaks in professional services finance

The same three failures show up in almost every professional services team we talk to.

  • Time leaks quietly

    Utilization slips a few points a month. The margin is gone before invoicing.

  • Project margin arrives late

    You learn a project lost money when it closes, not in week two.

  • Cash lags the work

    Long payment terms mean profitable months and empty accounts.

02 — Metrics that matter

The numbers your board actually asks about

Reportly builds these from your live accounting data, so they never depend on a spreadsheet refresh.
