Reporting Dashboard Automation for Professional Services
Transform your professional services reporting dashboard automation with custom automation built by Harvard-educated experts. Measurable outcomes in 4-8 weeks, backed by 98% client retention.
Expected Outcomes
Measurable results our professional services clients achieve with reporting dashboard automation.
Monthly partner reports that previously required two days of preparation by the finance manager are generated automatically with data pulled from practice management and accounting systems.
Real-time visibility into WIP ageing and debtor days enables proactive billing and collection, freeing up working capital that was previously trapped in unbilled work.
Transparent utilisation tracking motivates practitioners to improve time recording discipline and enables managers to rebalance workloads across the team.
The Challenge
Common reporting dashboard automation challenges facing professional services businesses.
The finance manager spends two days before each monthly partner meeting compiling data from LEAP, Xero, and the firm CRM into a presentable report.
WIP (work in progress) sits unbilled for months because nobody has visibility into ageing WIP until the finance manager runs a manual report.
Individual practitioner utilisation rates are unknown until quarter end, making it impossible to address underperformance or rebalance workloads in real time.
New business pipeline data lives in partner heads and personal notebooks, meaning the firm has no aggregate view of future revenue or practice area growth trends.
Implementation
How we implement reporting dashboard automation for your professional services business.
Connect Practice Management and Financials
Your practice management system, time recording tool, accounting platform, and CRM are connected to feed data into a centralised reporting layer. Billable hours, WIP, debtors, and pipeline data flow automatically.
- ✓ Tools: Make, LEAP, Xero
Define Firm Performance Metrics
KPIs are configured including utilisation rate by practitioner, lock-up days (WIP plus debtors), revenue per partner, realisation rate, and new business pipeline by source and practice area.
- ✓ Tools: Google Sheets, Airtable, Google Looker Studio
Build Partner and Manager Dashboards
Partners see firm-level financials, practice area performance, and their personal client portfolio metrics. Practice area managers see team utilisation, WIP ageing, and pipeline conversion rates.
- ✓ Tools: Google Looker Studio, Power BI, Make
Automate Board and Partner Reporting
Monthly partner reports, quarterly board packs, and weekly WIP summaries are generated and distributed automatically, with commentary fields for partners to add context before distribution.
