For directors of professional services firms
See where the business stands in a minute.
Athena gives directors of professional services firms one place for time, projects against proposals, capacity, pipeline, purchase orders, invoices and people. It reads the tools you already use. Less admin, not another tool.
The questions directors ask on a Monday
Each page opens on a few numbers and keeps the working detail below. Every warning comes with the figures behind it.
Where does our time go?
Client work, proposal writing, internal and leave, by person and discipline, with the entries nobody could place.
Are we doing what we proposed?
Hours per project and per phase against the proposal, with a forecast at completion and how far each type of job usually runs over.
Is there still money on the PO?
Every purchase order against what has been invoiced, and a warning before the work runs past it.
Who is free next month?
A capacity forecast from committed work and the weighted pipeline, by discipline and by person, after leave.
Are we winning?
Pipeline by stage, win rate over 90 days, days from proposal to PO, and the clients who have gone quiet.
Is the cash coming in?
Invoiced against paid, debtors by age, invoices ready but not sent, and margin by project and client.
Nothing re-typed
Athena reads the tools your team already uses: timesheets, accounting, calendars and the pipeline. Connections are read-only. Two weeks after setup starts you get your first real Monday report.
