Business Services

Your firm sells expertise, but your people spend their days on admin. We connect your systems and automate the busywork so they can bill for their time.

Custom software for professional services firms whose best people spend half the week on admin.

Your clients pay for expertise. Yet your senior staff copy client details between systems, chase approvals by email and build month-end reports by hand. We connect the tools you already run and automate the repetitive steps, so those hours go back to billable work.

What your tool stack costs you each month

Xero or MYOB for the ledger, HubSpot or Salesforce for the pipeline, Deputy for people, Asana for the work, SharePoint for documents, and a spreadsheet for everything in between. Each one made sense when you bought it.

Together they mean the same client gets entered four times, nobody can see which jobs make money until month-end, and the firm stalls when the one person who knows the spreadsheet is on leave.

Most of your systems work fine. The hours go missing in the handover between them.

How we would start with your firm

We begin with a Rapid Insight Workshop: two sessions mapping how work moves from won deal to job to invoice, and what each manual step costs. About three weeks later you get a roadmap ranked by return.

We replace old systems a piece at a time, so client work and cash flow never stop. If a tool you already pay for can do the job, we will tell you, and you drop the ones that overlap.

How firms like yours work with us

Each starts with a $9,000 + GST Rapid Insight Workshop. What you do next depends on what it finds.

Ignite

Prove one workflow tool with real staff before rolling it out firm-wide. Fixed price, $25K to $50K, working software in four to eight weeks.

Amplify

One build, scoped in writing and quoted at a fixed price. A one-year warranty, and the code and IP are yours. Typically $100K and up.

Apex

We stay on and clear the roadmap with you month after month, measured against results we agree at the start. From $15K a month, six-month minimum.

Questions business services firms ask us

Yes. Accounting, legal, consulting, plan management and other service firms are core to what we do. The common thread is a firm that grew faster than its systems and now pays for it in manual work.

With a paid two-session workshop that maps your systems, the manual steps between them and what each one costs. You get a ranked roadmap about three weeks later, before you commit to any build.

Usually not. Most firms have a ledger and a CRM that do their own jobs well enough. The fix is the layer between them, so a won deal becomes a job and an invoice without anyone retyping it. That is a smaller, lower-risk project than a replacement.

Yes. We rebuild one process at a time, test each change before it ships and roll out in stages, so client work and billing keep running and you control the spend.

Yes, and it is usually most of the value. We connect the ledger, the pipeline and the work tools so client and job data is entered once and reporting builds itself.

Most builds start around $100,000 as a fixed-price Amplify project, with a 12-month warranty and the code yours to keep. Testing one workflow first runs $25,000 to $50,000 under Ignite. Ongoing work runs as an Apex partnership from $15,000 a month.

Buy it if its standard workflows fit how your firm runs. Packaged tools charge per-user fees every year; a custom build has none and you own the code. Custom earns its place when your process is part of what clients pay for, or when the product forces workarounds and double entry.
