Know what an engagement earns while it is still running.
Most firms find out a project lost money after it has finished. The hours are in one system, the rates in a spreadsheet, the invoices in accounting — and nobody reconciles them until quarter end.
What it is
Leprechaun PSA puts staffing, timesheets, expenses, billing and revenue recognition in one place, so utilization and margin are numbers you look at on a Tuesday rather than discover in April.
It handles fixed fee, time and materials, and milestone billing together, with funding caps that refuse to invoice past what a client actually authorized.
Questions it answers
Is this fixed-fee job still profitable?
Burn against budget as hours are entered, not once the final invoice goes out.
Who is under-utilized next month?
Forecast against capacity by person and practice, before the gap becomes a write-off.
What did we give away last quarter?
Write-offs and realization by client and engagement, with the reason recorded at the time.
Who it is for
-
Professional services firms of roughly 20 to 150 people
-
More than one practice or service line, with margin measured per practice
-
A mix of fixed fee and time and materials, often against a client PO or funding cap
-
Spreadsheets have stopped working, and a twelve-month platform migration is not on the table
Where it stands
The product is live and takes customers today. It is early, and being honest about that is the point: I am taking on a small number of design partners — firms who will use it properly and be blunt about what is missing, in exchange for a direct line to me and real influence over what gets built next.
If you run NetSuite, I would particularly like to hear from you. The connector is built and I want a real environment to prove it in.
