Operating records and financial calculations
Better-supported decisions and recurring reviews
Profitdrive models how a services firm makes money: how work is sold and priced, what people cost, how delivery affects project margin, and how project results, bench and overheads flow into forward company profit.
For the parts of the client's operation Profitdrive covers, partners gain a consistent starting point for advice, recurring reviews and client-specific AI workflows. Adapt your work to the client without rebuilding the definitions and calculations behind every answer.
Profitdrive is designed to replace much of the operating patchwork around deal costing, project financials, resourcing, timecards and management reporting. It does not replace the CRM or accounting system. A firm can bring its core data across together or adopt Profitdrive area by area. Your AI can help prepare the setup and import proposals for the client to review.
Partners can use Profitdrive where it strengthens their advice, implementation or tools. Their broader expertise and the client's other systems keep their own roles.
Keep HubSpot or Pipedrive running marketing and follow-up. Profitdrive takes over once a deal is being costed, so the client sees people cost and expected margin before they sign, and the Deal Model becomes the Project Plan when the work is won.
Give clients weekly timecards prefilled from plan for people to confirm or correct. Accepted time becomes project actuals and can create an invoice file in Xero's import format, reducing manual invoice preparation. Use accounting actuals beside the forward outlook to turn reporting into timely advice.
Use one view rather than reconciling separate spreadsheets before each meeting. Review project margin, bench cost, overheads and forward company profit from the same plans and actuals. Test staffing, pricing and pipeline decisions before the next close.
Build regular reviews that connect people, project plans, delivered time and margin. Teams can see changes earlier and agree the next action before extra cost is committed.
Start from Profitdrive's services-firm model, cost and margin logic, and current plans. Build tools for your AI, briefings and workflows on one set of records and definitions, so a client does not swap a thousand spreadsheets for a thousand AI files, each with its own definitions.
Use established services-firm definitions and calculations, then apply your expertise.
Develop reviews, processes and tools on one model, then adapt them to each client.
Move from one-off reports or setups to recurring decision support.
Advisers, client teams and AI tools work from the same current plans and calculations.
Pricing, project margin, people cost and forward profit questions start from one connected record.
Bring core data across together or adopt area by area, with AI-assisted setup and imports prepared for client review.
Profitdrive supplies the operating and financial foundation for the work it covers. Partners bring the broader expertise, process or tool. The client gets a more consistent basis for decisions.
A fixed-fee project needs more delivery effort, while an employee is becoming available elsewhere in the firm.
This is an illustrative example, not a client case study.
Profitdrive holds the project plan, the relevant people costs, available capacity and the company outlook.
A fractional CFO uses those figures to show the project-margin and company-profit effect of using the employee or adding a contractor.
An operations adviser builds the question into the delivery and leadership routine, before additional spend is committed.
An AI builder sets up a briefing in the firm's own AI. Your AI uses Profitdrive's connected records and calculated results to prepare a staffing update for an authorised person to confirm.
Profitdrive holds the connected commercial record and calculations for deal costing, projects, people, time, actuals and forward company profit. The client's CRM keeps contacts, campaigns and follow-up; its accounting system keeps the books. Your AI can work from permitted Profitdrive records, explain results and prepare supported changes for an authorised person to confirm. The Xero connection is read-only, and invoice output is imported, approved and sent in Xero.
