Project management software for accounting firms

FigsFlow is project management software for accounting firms doing advisory and one-off work. The scope you quoted, the fee you agreed, the milestones, the hours and the invoice sit on one client record, so a project that has grown beyond its price is visible while you can still do something about it.

Product experience

The whole product, not just the project part

Advisory work runs through the same practice that quotes, onboards, checks, schedules, bills and chases. You get all of it. Each module has its own page. Or take the tour and watch one client move through the lot.

One ledger line running through every module — the same client record, all the way down.

Who this is for

Work that arrives once and never arrives the same way twice

Restructures, valuations, R&D claims, systems moves, a due diligence job that lands in March. Priced individually, scoped in a conversation, and delivered by whoever had the capacity that week.

Advisory becoming the bigger half of the firm?

The shape of it

It was a three-week job four months ago

The scope was agreed on a call. Then the client asked one more thing, and then another, and each one was small enough to say yes to. Nobody logged the hours because it was not a compliance job. You will find out what it cost when you write the invoice, and by then the only options are absorb it or have an awkward conversation.

How it works

Scope it once, and keep it visible

What you quoted becomes the scope on the engagement letter. The scope becomes the project, with its milestones, its owner and its fee. Hours attach as they happen, so the gap between what was agreed and what is being delivered shows up in week three, not on the invoice.

Overrun

Has this job grown beyond what we quoted?

Hours recorded against the project sit next to the fee on the letter. The overrun is a number on the record rather than a feeling somebody has in week six.

Pricing

How do we price something we have never done before?

Build the fee from the drivers you can actually name — scope, seniority, expected meetings, turnaround — and keep the assumptions attached. When the client changes one, you can point at which one.

Ownership

Who is doing what, and by when?

Projects break into tasks with owners and dates, so a job that only lives in one partner's head becomes something the rest of the firm can see and cover.

Recovery

Which advisory work is actually worth doing?

Recovery by project and by type shows which advisory lines earn and which have been quietly subsidised by the compliance book for two years.

Before and after

A folder and a good memory, or one record

Project management software for accounting firms is not about Gantt charts. It is about whether the fee you agreed still knows what the work has become.

How it works now

  • Scope in an email
  • Fee in a proposal nobody reopens
  • Tasks in someone's head
  • Hours reconstructed at billing
  • Scope creep discovered in hindsight

How it works on one record

Scope, fee, milestones, owners, hours and invoice on one client record, with the overrun visible from week three.

Rollout

Set it up in this order

You do not need the whole platform in week one. Advisory-led firms get furthest fastest in this order, with the honest effort beside each step.

Do not backfill projects that are already halfway through. The hours you did not record cannot be invented, and a half-populated project is worse than none.

Connected, not replaced

Works with what you already run

Sits alongside your ledger and your filing software rather than replacing either.

FAQ

Questions advisory-led firms ask

Is this a general project tool like Asana or Monday?

No. Those hold tasks. This holds the scope, the engagement letter, the fee, the hours and the invoice on the same client record, which is where advisory work actually goes wrong.

Can a project sit on a client who is also on recurring compliance work?

Yes. Recurring jobs and one-off projects live on the same client record.

What if the scope genuinely changes mid-project?

Raise a variation. The letter, the fee and the project all take the change, and the original scope stays visible for the conversation.

Do we have to record time if we bill fixed fee?

No, but without it recovery is a guess. Most advisory firms record time without billing on it.

Can we template a project we do repeatedly?

Yes. An R&D claim or a company purchase can be a template you open and adjust.

No question matches that.
