Business Management Software for Australian Professional Services
"Billable hours, project margins, client retention — visible."
Australian professional services firms — consultancies, accounting practices, engineering firms, IT services — build their revenue on billable hours and project delivery. XIntelliSync consolidates time tracking, project management, CRM, accounting, and payroll in one platform.
Professional Services Pain Points
Challenges Australian professional services firms face:
- Billable hours tracked in one system, invoicing in another — utilisation data is always stale
- Project profitability unknown until post-mortem because costs and revenue aren't connected in real time
- Client pipeline in CRM doesn't connect to project delivery or financial data
- Multiple team members recording time against the same project with no real-time visibility
How XIntelliSync Addresses Professional Services Workflows
XIntelliSync connects professional services operations:
- Time tracking with per-project recording and automatic invoice generation
- Real-time project profitability: revenue vs costs updated as time is recorded
- CRM with pipeline tracking, proposal management, and client retention analysis
- Payroll preparation for employed staff
- AI agents automate timesheet reminders, invoice generation, and utilisation reporting
Compliance for Professional Services
Professional services firms must comply with:
- BAS: GST on professional fees and input credits on business expenses
- STP Phase 2: payroll for employed staff
- Superannuation: 12% SGC for all employees
- Professional indemnity insurance: cost tracking (XIntelliSync tracks costs, not insurance compliance)
- Industry-specific regulations: where applicable (e.g., TPB registration for accounting practices)
