Consulting and advisory

Aider Group works with consulting and advisory organisations operating in knowledge-driven, project-based and internationally distributed environments. As an accounting consulting firm with deep experience across professional services, we understand that financial performance in consulting is driven by utilisation, pricing discipline, delivery efficiency and predictable cash flow.

Consulting firms face a fundamentally different financial reality than product-based or transactional businesses. Revenue is generated through people, expertise and time. Margins depend on accurate project accounting, disciplined resource management and the ability to scale delivery without losing financial control. Aider Group delivers accounting for professional service firms that need clarity, structure and scalability across markets.

This pillar page explains how modern consulting and advisory organisations can strengthen profitability, transparency and growth through purpose-built financial systems. It also outlines how Aider Group supports consulting firms, advisory partnerships and finance consulting businesses with global-ready accounting, compliance and performance insight.

What we deliver to consulting and advisory firms

- Project-level insight is the foundation of profitability in consulting. Without clear visibility into engagement economics, firms risk margin erosion, scope creep and inefficient resource allocation.
  
  Aider Group delivers project and engagement reporting that provides:
  
  Profitability per project, client and service line
  
  Budget versus actual tracking across phases
  
  Revenue recognition aligned with delivery milestones
  
  Cost allocation for internal teams and external resources
  
  Forecasting for multi-phase and long-term engagements
  
  This level of reporting enables partners and engagement leaders to manage performance proactively, not retrospectively.
- Consulting firms increasingly operate across borders, serving international clients and delivering services from multiple jurisdictions. This introduces complexity in invoicing, tax handling and regulatory compliance.
  
  Our solutions support:
  
  Automated invoicing aligned with project milestones
  
  Multi-currency and multi-jurisdiction billing
  
  Cross-border tax and VAT alignment
  
  Documentation for international clients and regulators
  
  Consistent billing practices across global offices
  
  For any finance consulting business operating internationally, this structure ensures predictable revenue flow and reduced compliance risk.
- Utilisation is one of the most critical KPIs in professional services. Small changes in billable ratios can have a significant impact on profitability.
  
  Aider Group delivers performance dashboards that provide:
  
  Billable versus non-billable utilisation metrics
  
  Consultant-level and team-level KPIs
  
  Revenue per FTE and margin analysis
  
  Capacity planning and workload forecasting
  
  Leadership dashboards for partners and executives
  
  These insights allow firms to optimise staffing, pricing and delivery models with confidence.
- Payroll is typically the largest cost item for consulting firms. Managing compensation accurately across roles, seniority levels and geographies is essential for both compliance and employee trust.
  
  We support payroll and workforce administration for:
  
  Consultants, analysts, managers and partners
  
  Bonus, incentive and performance-based models
  
  Contractors, freelancers and external advisors
  
  Cross-border employment and local labour rules
  
  Secure HR-finance integrations
  
  As an experienced accounting consulting firm, Aider Group ensures that payroll processes remain accurate, compliant and scalable as firms grow.
- Consulting firms need finance operations that scale without increasing administrative workload. Manual processes, spreadsheets and disconnected tools limit growth and create risk.
  
  Aider Group delivers digital financial systems that include:
  
  Cloud-based accounting platforms
  
  Integrations with project, time-tracking and CRM tools
  
  Automated approvals and workflows
  
  Standardised financial routines across offices
  
  Scalable infrastructure for growing firms
  
  These systems allow consulting firms to focus on clients and delivery, not administration.

Consulting and advisory – Extended content

Consulting and advisory firms operate with project-based revenue models, diverse engagement structures and high expectations for utilisation and delivery quality. Whether working on long-term strategic engagements, transformation programmes or short advisory sprints, financial control must be embedded directly into how consultants work.

Aider Group builds financial workflows that support both complexity and speed. Our approach to accounting for professional service firms connects project delivery, time tracking, billing, payroll and reporting into a single, coherent financial structure. This allows leadership teams to monitor performance in real time, rather than relying on delayed or fragmented reporting.

We support management consultants, strategy firms, technology advisors, process consultants, risk specialists and hybrid advisory organisations. Many of our clients also operate as a finance consulting business, delivering advisory services across borders while managing distributed teams, subcontractors and international clients. Our systems are designed to handle this complexity without adding administrative burden.
