Accountancy for professional services
Building your business on firm financial ground
Like so many industries at the moment, the professional services sector is undergoing a time of real transition.
Digital disruption means competition in the legal and financial marketplace is at an all-time high - with clients increasingly expectant of high-speed, high-quality service driven by new technologies.
As professional service firms scramble to try and meet that demand, it’s putting the industry’s traditional resourcing models under pressure too.
With all these challenges to face, it’s more important than ever to build your business on solid financial foundations.
How we help
We use our own innovative approach to help firms get ahead of increasing competition, unlocking access to your real-time financial data to help you make better business decisions.
And, as you look to solve your resourcing issues by tapping into the on-demand workforce trend, we’ll be right here to help you navigate the complexities of PAYE and IR35 too.

Professional Services KPI's
WHAT WE'LL HELP YOU TRACK
Time tracking + billing - If you invoice on a time-spent basis, we’ll help you get a better picture of your billable time, putting the systems in place to increase utilisation rate and improve profits.
Profit/Loss per client - Your biggest clients might not always be your most profitable. We’ll help show you which customers really provide the greatest value to your business.
Operating profit per head - Monitoring profit per head against revenue can help highlight over-spending. Controlling your wage bill and other expenditure is key to a healthier business.
Cash flow reporting - Cash flow is king in the professional services world. At Inform we’ll help you get to grips with money coming in and out of your business, putting systems in place to help you plan ahead.
