Modern Finance and HR
for Professional
Services Firms
Your firm's product is your people and your expertise. Paid delivers a connected platform (Sage Intacct, Ramp, and UKG Ready) implemented and supported by a team that understands project profitability, utilization, and the complexity of professional services finance.
The Unique Challenges Facing
Professional Services Organizations
Professional Services operations come with compliance, reporting, and workforce management requirements that generic payroll software doesn't handle well. Paid does.
Project-Based Billing & Revenue Recognition
Professional services firms live and die by project profitability. Tracking billable hours, milestones, work-in-progress, and multi-year contracts requires an ERP that handles complex revenue recognition, not generic accounting software.
Time Tracking & Utilization
Your revenue depends on how effectively you track and bill time. Disconnected time-entry systems leak billable hours and make utilization reporting unreliable across teams, projects, and clients.
Multi-Entity & Multi-State Operations
Growing firms often operate across entities, states, or even client mandates for separate billing. Consolidating financials while maintaining entity- and engagement-level reporting is a constant challenge.
Talent Retention & Compensation
Your people are your product. Competitive compensation, bonus structures, partner distributions, and benefits administration demand an HCM platform that supports complex pay arrangements and career progression.
Client Trust & Escrow Accounting
Firms that hold client funds must maintain strict separation, reconciliation, and reporting for trust and escrow accounts. A single compliance misstep can put licenses and reputation at risk.
Expense Reimbursement & Spend Control
Billable expenses, travel, and client-paid costs need to flow cleanly from card swipe to invoice to reimbursement. Manual expense processes slow billing and create write-offs.
Integrated Platforms for Professional Services Organizations
Three best-in-class platforms, each leading in its own area. Paid implements and supports each one and connects them together as integrated platforms, so your financial, HR, and spend data flow between them without the manual work.

Why Professional Services Organizations Choose Paid
Beyond the technology — it's the people behind it that make the difference.
Project Accounting That Works
Sage Intacct's project accounting and revenue recognition handles multi-year engagements, milestones, and work-in-progress so every hour and dollar ties back to the right client and project.
Real-Time Utilization & Profitability
Paid connects your time, billing, and financial data so partners and principals see project profitability and utilization in real time, not at month-end.
Spend That Bills Back
Ramp's corporate cards and expense automation capture billable spend at the point of purchase and sync it to the ERP, so client-reimbursable expenses reach invoices faster and with fewer write-offs.
Compensation & Career Pathing
UKG Ready supports complex compensation structures, bonus and partner distribution workflows, and benefits administration that keeps top talent engaged and retained.
Real Human Support
A dedicated Paid specialist who understands professional services operations stays with your firm long-term, not a ticket queue or rotating support rep.
