Challenges for Finance Team in Professional Services

In professional services, profitability often slips through the cracks. With overlapping client projects, varying fee structures, and a mix of billable and non-billable tasks, finance teams struggle to track true margins in real time.

Challenge 1:

Lack of visibility into client and project spend

Finance's Struggle:

Without real-time spend visibility, finance teams can’t track profitability or manage budgets effectively across clients and engagements.

Lack-of-visibility

Challenge 2:

Manual expense and invoice workflows slow down operations

Finance's Struggle:

Relying on spreadsheets and emails for expense claims and invoice approvals wastes time and increases the risk of human error.

Challenge 3:

Untracked expenses lead to margin leakage

Finance's Struggle:

Incidental costs like travel and client-related spend often go unnoticed, quietly eroding project margins and affecting overall profitability.

Challenge 4:

Complex cost allocation across clients and projects

Finance's Struggle:

Finance teams struggle to reconcile joint expenses across departments, projects, and locations without centralised expense management tools.

Challenge 5:

Outdated financial data hinders decision-making

User Struggle:

Without real-time reporting and spend analytics by project and client, teams are stuck reacting to problems instead of preventing them.
