You find out a project lost money after the final invoice goes out.
Most agencies calculate profitability retroactively — weeks or months after delivery. By then it's too late to adjust scope, reassign expensive resources, or have the budget conversation with the client.
The result: you absorb the loss, promise to "scope better next time," and repeat the cycle. Meanwhile, your profitable projects subsidize your money-losers and you have no idea which is which.
71% of agencies have zero visibility into project profitability during delivery.
There's a better way.
The Old Way
Spreadsheet P&L — Export hours from Harvest. Calculate costs manually. Update weekly if you're lucky.
Post-mortem profitability — Find out you lost money weeks after the project shipped.
No cost rate tracking — Everyone's hourly cost is a guess based on salary divided by some number.
Hidden money-losers — Profitable projects subsidize losses you can't see.
Budget conversations too late — By the time you notice the overrun, the work is already done.
The Flowboard Way
Live margin dashboard — Budget, costs, and margin updated with every tracked hour.
Mid-project visibility — See profitability while you can still do something about it.
Automatic cost calculations — Cost rates per team member, applied to every hour tracked.
Project-by-project P&L — Know exactly which projects make money and which don't.
Budget alerts — Get notified when a project hits 80% of budget before it hits 100%.
Real-time margins. Not end-of-project surprises.
Every tracked hour updates your project's profitability dashboard. Budget burned, revenue earned, margin percentage — you see it all while you can still adjust scope, reassign resources, or have the budget conversation with the client.
From spreadsheet guessing to live control.
Stop maintaining margin calculations across tabs and formulas that break when someone edits a cell. Flowboard tracks every hour, applies your rates, and shows you the numbers — automatically.
