Working in professional services
Legal, accountancy, architecture, engineering and consultancy firms tend to run on a mixture of practice management software bought a decade ago, a shared drive, and a large amount of email. The work we do here is usually about removing the manual steps between winning a piece of work and being paid for it, and giving clients a way to see progress without asking.
We hold no accreditation in this sector and do not claim any. Where an engagement touches a regulated activity, the obligations that apply are defined by your own legal and compliance advisers; our part is to build a system that can evidence what they require.
Problems we see in this sector
None of these is unusual, and none of them is a failing. They are what the work in this sector tends to look like before anyone touches it.
- Client documents scattered across email, shared drives and a practice management system that nobody enjoys using
- Time recording that depends on people remembering at the end of the week
- Matter or project status only knowable by asking the person doing the work
- Onboarding and identity checks handled as a manual checklist
- Reporting to partners assembled by hand each month

Tell us how your professional services organisation actually works
Sector familiarity gets us through the vocabulary. The part that decides the shape of the work is how your organisation does the thing it does — which is the part we would rather hear from you than assume.
We read every enquiry ourselves. If we are not the right fit, we will say so and tell you what to look for instead.
