Sound Familiar?

Challenges you might be facing

Billable hours tracking across multiple client projects is fragmented between timesheets, project management tools, and manual Excel reconciliation

Utilization reporting requires pulling data from 3+ tools and manually calculating billable-to-total ratios — a process that takes hours each week

Retaining top consultants in a competitive talent market is difficult without structured career development and transparent performance evaluation

Managing independent contractors alongside full-time employees requires different compliance treatment that your current system doesn't handle well

Client-attributable expense claims need separate tracking from internal expenses, but most HR tools don't differentiate between the two

Partners and managers across multiple offices don't have visibility into their team's leave, utilization, or performance without asking HR for reports

The FriendHRM Advantage

How we solve this for you

Project-Based Timesheets

Employees log hours by client, project, and task with automatic billable vs. non-billable categorization. Approved timesheets feed directly into payroll and client invoicing exports.

Contractor & Freelancer Management

Manage W-2/full-time employees and 1099/contract workers side by side. Different tax treatment, access levels, and compliance workflows — unified in one system.

Real-Time Utilization Dashboards

Instant visibility into team utilization rates, under-booked consultants, and over-utilized staff — enabling proactive resource allocation and revenue optimization.

360° Performance & Career Growth

Structured review cycles with peer, manager, and client feedback. Goal tracking, skill matrices, and promotion readiness indicators to retain your best people.

Client-Attributable Expense Management

Tag expense claims to specific clients and projects. Separate approval workflows for client-billable vs. internal expenses. OCR receipt scanning from mobile.

Multi-Office, Multi-Country Operations

Support partner-led offices across geographies with location-specific leave policies, public holiday calendars, and localized payroll — managed from one platform.

"Our utilization visibility went from a monthly Excel exercise to a real-time dashboard. We identified $200K in unbilled hours within the first quarter. The ROI was immediate."
