Cash Flow for Management Consultants

Engagement revenue is lumpy. Weekly costs aren't. See the mismatch early.

Management consultancies carry high staff costs against engagement-based billing. The Sprint maps your engagement calendar against your weekly burn so the gaps between projects stop being a surprise in week 9.

Engagement gaps between projects are expensive

A two-week gap between engagements carries full staff costs with zero revenue. When three engagements end at once, that gap multiplies fast.

Travel and expense float isn't recovered for 60 days

Staff expense reimbursements from client accounts take weeks. In the meantime your cash carries the float. The Sprint tracks that receivable explicitly.

Proposal cycles distort near-term planning

Expecting a proposal to convert next month and planning headcount around it is how consultancies get caught. Scenario tabs separate signed from probable revenue.

Best fit

Management consultancies with 3–50 staff using QuickBooks Online or Xero, with project or retainer revenue.

Submit the basics and Spark Cashflow will review fit for the fixed-scope Sprint offer. Delivery stays manual for now. Intake does not.

We bill in phases — can the model track phase payments?

Yes. Phase payments are mapped to their expected receipt dates, not the project start date, so the forecast reflects actual cash timing.

Can we model the cost of adding a new consultant?

Yes. Scenario tabs are built for exactly this — model the hire date, the ramp period, and the engagement start date to see the net cash impact.
