Signs your professional services company has outgrown its current systems

Each one looks small. Together they take up the owner’s week.

  • 01Everything runs through the owner, from scoping a project to the final review.
  • 02Weekly and monthly client reports are built by hand and take up whole days.
  • 03Approvals and feedback are chased by email and Slack, one client at a time.
  • 04Nobody knows which clients are over budget until the month closes.

What owners tell us on our calls

  • “Every month for the last six months we have missed the date for… one of our biggest clients… that's just a calendar reminder.”
    Founder of an education consulting firm
  • “There's a lack of a hub right now for clients.”

  • “Things get lost in email all the time… you'll get a forwarded message but you're not really sure what it's for.”

The client work is fine, everything around it is manual

On ongoing client work, the work itself is rarely the problem. The hours go on everything around it: answering client emails and Slack messages, building weekly and monthly reports by hand, chasing approvals and feedback, and setting up each new client from scratch.

Each task is small, but it repeats for every client, every month. So every new client adds more admin, the owner gets pulled into more of it, and the only way to keep up is to hire.

What we build to fix it

We map how your client work runs today, from the signed proposal to the monthly report, and find exactly where the hours go. Then we build one system for it:

  • Client onboarding that starts from the signed proposal, not a blank form.
  • One place for every client, project and status that the whole team trusts.
  • Client reports built from live data, drafted by AI and approved by a person.
  • A client portal where clients check progress and approve work, instead of emailing to ask.
  • Approvals and feedback tracked in one place, with automatic reminders.

The tools your team uses for the work itself, such as design, research or SEO software, and your accounting usually stay and get connected.

Illustration on sample data: the tools that work stay connected, and each role works from one system.

Our process

It starts with mapping your operations. You can stop after any step and keep what it produced.

  1. 01
    Days 1–7See where your bottlenecks are

    We map your processes with your team in four or five calls, find where time and money leak and put a cost on each issue.

  2. 02
    Days 8–14See what your custom business system would look like

    We build a prototype system on your own data and jobs. Your team clicks through it before anyone commits to a full build.

  3. 03
    Day 14Get a clear roadmap of what to fix and in what order

    You get a roadmap of what to build and in what order, highest-value fixes first. You keep it, with the map and the prototype, even if you stop here.

  4. 04
    Day 14 onwardBuild it with us, or in-house

    You decide: we take care of everything for you, including the full build, or your team builds it in-house.
