Ongoing advice for owners of IT and professional services firms, on the firm’s forward view in Profitdrive.app.
Run the firm on where profit is heading, with a sparring partner who has sat in the CFO and COO seat.
Month-end accounts close accurately, but only after the pricing, staffing and pipeline decisions that set margin have been made. By then, the next deal is priced the same way.
You work on the structure behind those decisions with Gerben Bosch, former CFO and then COO of Capgemini Australia and New Zealand, on your firm’s live numbers in Profitdrive.app.
The advisory is open to any firm running on Profitdrive.app. The scope follows what the firm needs, from a monthly session to closer support on the structure through a sale, an acquisition or a growth push. The fee is agreed with you in advance and invoiced by Bosch CG.
It opens in Australia first. If your firm is elsewhere, you are welcome to get in touch; fees and terms are then agreed with you locally.
While Profitdrive.app is in early access, the founding start carries no advisory fee. Over about three months, Gerben Bosch guides your firm in four steps from set-up to running on its forward view. The founding start is open to every Australian firm of 30 people or more, on Xero, that will record time in Profitdrive.app within those three months.
Many forecasting engagements begin by gathering your data and building a spreadsheet model, because the numbers do not yet exist. That work is necessary, and your firm pays for it before the first advice. Then the model has to be kept current.
Your forward view is already live in Profitdrive.app, and your own team keeps it current. So the fee pays for judgement on the structure behind your profit: principles, targets, decision rights and rhythm. Indicatively A$3,000 a month excluding GST; the Profitdrive.app licence is separate.
You agree with Gerben the inputs that matter and the key settings for your firm. You then gather your data with the AI-guided migration, at your own pace.
You import your data together with Gerben, so any gap or mismatch surfaces while you are both looking at it, not later in a report.
You review where profit is heading with your leadership team. When it looks right, you move time recording to Profitdrive Timecards, add your budget and walk through actuals.
Around three months in, you review how the firm runs on its forward view. Then you decide: continue the advisory, confirmed in writing, or run Profitdrive.app on your own.
The working system
Profitdrive.app turns pipeline, project plans, people cost and overhead into a live forward P&L, so leadership can see the gap to target and what can still change. It sits beside Xero and does not replace your accounting system. It is designed from Gerben’s experience as CFO and COO.
Explore Profitdrive.app →With you as owner or CEO, on your live numbers in Profitdrive.app rather than last month’s accounts.
Gerben Bosch challenges the principles, targets and decision rights behind your pricing, staffing and pipeline, so the same problem does not return next quarter.
Commercial and profitability frameworks applied to your own firm, not to a template.
A monthly management rhythm leadership can run, so the forward view drives decisions without extra overhead.
The advisory runs for three months at a time and never renews automatically: it continues only when you confirm it in writing. If you prefer to run on Profitdrive.app on your own, you simply do. The aim is a rhythm your leadership can run without us.
In return for the founding start, you use Profitdrive.app with real data and give honest feedback along the way. If it has worked for you, we ask for a short quote in your own words, permission to name your firm, one case study written from an interview, and an occasional reference call with a firm considering the same step. You approve every word, and nothing is published without your written consent. If it has not worked, we ask you what did not work, and why.
You start with the free 30-day trial. Buying your Profitdrive.app licence is your commitment, and the founding start begins from there. The licence covers at least one Leadership seat, two Manager seats, and a Team Member seat for everyone who records time. Gerben guides each start personally, so start dates are agreed with you in the order firms ask. The advisory does not include accounting, tax or legal advice, or custom development.
The first conversation is confidential and exploratory.
