Grove FP for Professional Services

Plan around your most valuable asset β€” your people

In professional services, your people are your product. Revenue depends on utilisation, project mix, and billing rates. Grove FP connects workforce planning to financial planning, so you can model the relationship between headcount, utilisation, and revenue.

Pain Points

Challenges Grove FP solves for professional services

Revenue depends on utilisation, not just headcount

Hiring more people does not automatically mean more revenue. You need to model utilisation rates, bench time, and ramp-up periods.

Grove FP lets you model revenue as a function of headcount, utilisation rate, and billing rate. See how changes in utilisation drive revenue.

Project profitability is a black box

You know your overall margin, but you cannot easily see which projects or clients are profitable and which are dragging the average down.

Use dimensions to track revenue and costs by project or client. Produce project-level P&L statements to identify profitable and unprofitable work.

Capacity planning is reactive

You hire when you are already over capacity and lay off when utilisation drops. There is no forward-looking view of capacity needs.

Grove FP connects your revenue pipeline to your headcount model. Forecast capacity needs based on expected project wins.
