Gap foundResearched 23 September 2026 for small accounting firms

What the search found

Who pays
Small accounting firm partner
The problem
Partners quote a fixed fee and only find out months later that the work cost more than the fee. By then the client has had a year of service at a loss.
The gap
Generic PSA tools track fixed fee profitability, but the results show nothing built for a small accounting firm that ties a quoted fee to logged time and shows a running margin per client.
Already out there
  • BigTime bigtime.net

    Tracks cost against budget on fixed fee projects, but is a general PSA not aimed at small accounting firms.

  • My Hours myhours.com

    Tracks time and cost against a fixed fee budget, but has no accounting firm client view.

  • Ruddr help.ruddr.io

    Handles fixed fee billing schedules and revenue recognition, not per client margin warnings.

People asking for it
The big assumption
Partners will log time against a fixed fee often enough for the margin number to be useful.
Test it this week
Ask five small firm partners to send you last month's time entries and quoted fees, then calculate margin by hand.
