For professional services

Software for professional services firms

You're paid for your judgement and spend half the week chasing documents. Clients email to ask where things are up to, one at a time.

How these businesses run

Work is either a matter with an end, or a recurring deadline that turns up whether you're ready or not. Most firms run both.

Nearly every step needs something from the client, so chasing is the hidden job underneath everything.

Confidentiality isn't optional. Documents need to move safely, and who saw what has to be answerable later.

Where your week goes

  • Onboarding stalls the moment one person's on holiday.
  • Asking for a document the client already sent.
  • Deadlines tracked in one person's spreadsheet.
  • Answering “where are we up to?” emails all day.
  • Sending sensitive files as email attachments, again.

Sound like your business?

Tell us which one costs you the most time. We'll tell you what we'd build, roughly what it would cost and how long it would take.

What we can build for this

What we'd build for a business like yours. The work already delivered is further down.

  • Client onboarding with the chasing built in
  • A secure portal where each client sees their own work and next step
  • Document uploads by link, with no client account needed
  • E-signature on engagement letters, filed against the client automatically
  • Recurring deadlines with early warnings, not late surprises
  • Reporting on capacity and what's actually at risk
  • Permissions, so staff see their clients and partners see the practice

How a project would work

We start with the step where clients hold things up, because that's usually where the time goes.

Everything keeps a record of who did what and when. In a practice, that's what makes a system worth trusting.

Tell us how your business actually runs

We build around how you already work, not the other way round. Tell us the part that eats most of your time and we'll tell you what we'd build and roughly what it would cost.
