"I need to lower our likelihood of over or understaffing - both scenarios are death for a firm like ours."
Everything about our approach to building financial projections is unique. Hang on... Prepare to have your mind blown.
Managing capacity for project-based industries is complex.
People. Inventory. Compute power. Storage. Supply Chain.
Fixed start and end dates leave no room for error.
Resource bottlenecks delay critical deliverables.
Overestimating capacity wastes budget, while underestimating causes chaos.
Without accurate forecasting, your team is stuck reacting instead of acting.
"I need to lower our likelihood of over or understaffing - both scenarios are death for a firm like ours."
We combine expert domain knowledge with custom-built, cutting edge solutions to help you. Here is how it works:
• An audit of your existing workflows and data to create a baseline.
• Forecast future resource needs for every phase of your potential projects.
• Integrate with CRMs and other systems to pull real time data.
• Optimize team utilization across competing priorities.
• Simulate multiple “what-if” scenarios to distill trends and patterns in your projections based on your baseline.

"Being able to adjust both our financial projections and our supply chain strategy in real time was a game-changer. We didn’t just build a plan - we created multiple roadmaps for long-term success."

Capture an extra $100K–$200K in annual revenue by proactively staffing for deals instead of turning them away due to uncertainty.
Save $50K–$100K a year on unnecessary hires and the associated onboarding/training. Avoid emergency contractor fees.
Reduce costly onboarding delays by 2–4 weeks, saving tens of thousands in idle overhead.
Prevent late-delivery penalties or client dissatisfaction, which can cost upwards of $25K+ in fines or lost repeat business.
Boost average utilization by 5–10% across a 10-person specialized team—equivalent to another $60K–$120K in billable hours.
Save managers dozens of hours each quarter that they’d otherwise spend juggling spreadsheets—easily worth $20K+ in manager time.
