At Notion CFO & Advisors, We Understand the Unique CFO Management Challenges Businesses in the Professional Services Sector Face
Project-Based Accounting
Project-based and work-in-progress (WIP) accounting are common for professional service firms. This requires accurate time and cost tracking as well as job costing to maintain profitability.
Revenue Recognition
Determining when to recognize revenue can become complex for service-based businesses managing long-term projects with several milestones.
Fluctuating Cash Flow
Professional services businesses often deal with irregular income due to project-based work or delayed client payments, making it challenging to maintain steady cash flow and consistently cover operational expenses.
Profitability Tracking
Professional service firms require accurate cost allocation to determine which types of services or clients are the most profitable. Without profitability tracking, firms may struggle to allocate resources and design efficient pricing strategies.
