The challenge
What Professional Services HR teams struggle with
In consulting, law, and accounting firms, every hour billed is revenue and every hour unbilled is a cost. SleetHR connects HR, time tracking, and billing so your partners see true utilization rates and your finance team closes client invoices without chasing timesheets.
Timesheet Leakage & ReconstructionConsultants recall hours worked from memory at week-end. The result is under-billing on profitable clients, over-billing disputes, and margin erosion that nobody can pinpoint.
Bench Cost VisibilityPartners do not know exactly how many billable consultants are sitting undeployed on any given week — making workforce planning a guessing game with expensive consequences.
Multi-Client Expense ManagementConsultants travel for three clients in one week, each with different expense policies and reimbursable limits. Separating and reconciling these claims manually consumes a full day of finance time every month.
Partner Draw & Variable CompensationPartner profit shares, associate performance bonuses, and consultant retainer fees all compute differently and must be accurately reflected on payslips while maintaining strict compensation confidentiality.
How Sleet helps
Built for Professional Services
Client-Coded Project TimesheetsLog hours per client matter, project code, and activity type (research, drafting, travel) with a running live timer or manual entry. All hours are tagged billable or non-billable at the point of logging.
Receipt OCR & Expense AutomationPhotograph any bill and OCR extracts vendor, amount, GST, and project code instantly. Expenses auto-route to client matter or internal cost center and flow into payroll reimbursement or client billing.
Utilization Heatmap & Bench ForecastSee every employee's billable utilization rate in real time. Identify bench resources and forecasted availability so partners can staff new mandates without over-committing or under-deploying.
Multi-Currency Partner & Consultant PayProcess partner draws in INR, USD, or GBP. Handle consultant retainer payouts, success fee disbursements, and associate performance bonuses on separate calculation schedules.
Leave & Availability TransparencyAll approved leaves, public holidays, and training days reflect in the utilization model. Staffing decisions are made against actual available hours, not assumed headcount.
Client Billing IntegrationApproved billable hours convert directly into line-item client invoices in the Billing Suite. Partners see the invoice before dispatch, approve in one click, and SleetHR dispatches the GST invoice automatically.
