- Projects, time and billing together
- One owner on every task
- Live margins and utilisation
For firms that sell their time and expertise.
If your business runs on projects, people and billable hours, Cadence gives you one place to run it. Here is who it serves and what it changes.
Agencies and creative studios
Retainers, sprints and one-off jobs side by side, with time and budget tracked against each.
What it gives you: Know which clients are profitable
Consultancies and professional services
Utilisation, billable hours and invoicing that finally agree with each other.
What it gives you: Bill for everything you deliver
Founders, partners and principals
One honest view of the business: pipeline, workload, cash waiting to be billed and margin by client.
What it gives you: Decide with real numbers
Follow one project from first enquiry to final margin.
Every stage of a project lives in the same system, so information never has to be copied from one tool to the next.

Margin by client updated today
Everything a services business runs on.
Modules that work together out of the box. Use all of them, or start with the one that hurts most today.
Projects and phase gates
A project moves to its next phase only when the handover is complete. Owners, documents and sign-offs stay attached to each gate, so nothing slips between stages.
Time tracking
Log time against tasks in a few taps, with timers and weekly timesheets.
Resource planning
A live view of who is booked, on what and for how long.
Utilisation
Billable and non-billable hours by person, team and month.
Budgets and burn
Hours and spend against budget per phase, with alerts before a project runs over.
Change requests
Log scope changes with their cost and time impact, get approval, then bill them.
Invoicing
Invoices built straight from tracked time, milestones or retainers.
Daily check-ins and weekly reviews
A short morning plan and evening update keep everyone aligned without long status meetings.
One owner on every task
Every task and phase has a single named owner, so it is always clear who moves it forward.
Reports and business health
Profitability, forecasts and trends you can share with partners in a click.
One system, the right view for each person.
Everyone works from the same data, but sees what matters to their role first.
The whole business on one screen.
Pipeline and forecast revenue
Margin by client, project and service
Utilisation trends across teams
Cash waiting to be invoiced
What changes when the business has a rhythm.
Cadence is named for the steady beat a well-run firm keeps. Each outcome ties back to a value we build by.
Fewer spreadsheets, one version of the truth
Projects, time and billing live together, so the numbers agree without anyone reconciling them.
Simple, obvious and easy to figure outNo surprises at month end
Budget alerts and live margins show problems while there is still time to act on them.
Real business and professional growthEveryone knows what's next
Single owners and short check-ins replace the meetings that exist only to ask for updates.
Community and collective workTime back for the work clients pay for
Less admin, faster invoicing and fewer follow-ups give hours back to delivery.
Speed, utility and efficiencySee your business in one place.
