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.
