How a Management Consulting PSA rollout works

Prepare a pilot around one client engagement and its delivery-to-billing cycle.

  1. Set up the firm

    Enter practice organizations, team members, rates, capacity and users. Agree who maintains these records.

  2. Load the first client

    Confirm billing terms, partner and owning practice, then create the engagement with manager, contract value, budget hours and dates.

  3. Rehearse delivery

    Have a consultant enter time, expense and service work. Submit and review a billable service line.

  4. Rehearse billing

    Approve a milestone with amount and engagement, run its invoice operation, then record a confirmed payment.

  5. Review economics

    Compare engagement delivery and cost with invoiced amounts in the Engagement Margin Desk.

What the customer provides

Bring a representative client, a signed engagement scope, the delivery owner, consultant rates, budget hours, milestone amounts and dates, and a finance contact who can verify invoice and collection outcomes. Agree how the team will store supporting contracts, deliverables and receipts.

Changing it afterwards

Start with the same review routine each time: inspect the source engagement, the affected delivery records and the operation receipts. Update roles, rates and review responsibilities deliberately as the practice changes. Rehearse a failed service approval and a failed milestone invoice before using the pattern across the portfolio. See get started for the first cycle.
