Structured project setup
Build a project the way you deliver it — cost centres, rates and budget in one place. Everything downstream — time, expenses, billing, reporting — hangs off this one structure, entered once.
Access PSA: quote to cash on one platform. Live in 2–4 weeks, no SI partner required.

According to SPI Research, most mid-market PS firms only discover utilisation problems after they've already happened. Using 3–5 disconnected tools and every gap between them is a write-off waiting to happen.
The result? For a 100-person firm billing at £200/hour, a 6.4% utilisation gap costs £2.5M in unrealised revenue every year. Not a projection — a calculation based on actual hours lost to under-resourcing, late timesheet capture, and disconnected billing.
Your PSA, finance system, and resource scheduler don't talk to each other. Every project setup costs 4+ hours of rekeying — and every month-end costs more.
You find out who was underutilised after the fact – not before. A 10% utilisation improvement delivers 20%+ operating profit improvement
Timesheets submitted late mean invoices understate delivered value. Disputes, write-offs, and slow cash collection follow — every month, without fail.
Without automation, the only growth lever is hiring more people. PSA adopters achieve 14% higher revenue growth — without the proportional headcount cost.
From the moment a project is won to the day the final invoice is paid — Access PSA manages the entire lifecycle without a single manual export.
Structured project setup
Build a project the way you deliver it — cost centres, rates and budget in one place. Everything downstream — time, expenses, billing, reporting — hangs off this one structure, entered once.
Live RAG risk tracking
Every project's risk status at a glance. RAG indicators flag slippage while there's still time to act — not in the post-mortem.
Resource assignment
Assign people to projects with rates and roles carried through, so everyone knows what they're on and cost is captured from day one.
Every project in a single view
Everything about a project in one live view — status, WIP, budget, commitments and what needs your attention — instead of stitched together from five reports after the fact.
Real-time budget vs actual
Watch budget against actual by project and cost centre as work happens — so margin erosion surfaces early, while there's still time to act, not after the project closes.
Visual scheduling with conflict detection
Drag-and-drop booking across your team, with clashes flagged in real time before you save — and non-working days shaded on the timeline. Availability you can see, not hunt for.
Utilisation heatmap
A colour-coded view of booked versus available hours across every resource, role and team. See who's overloaded and who's on the bench at a glance.
Assisted resource matching
The right person for the work, not just the first free one — matched on availability, utilisation, role and skills. Best-match badges guide the call.
AI allocation scenarios
Turn an incoming resource request into three ready-made plans — best single resource, spread the load, or fastest start — then accept one and it becomes bookings. No manual re-entry.
Burnout & coming-free alerts
Spot resources trending toward overload before it becomes a problem, and catch people about to free up as projects end — so no one burns out and no capacity goes to waste.
Capture on the day, from anywhere
Log time and expenses from your phone as you go — copy last week's timesheet, snap a receipt, pick the project, submit. No paper, no lost receipts, nothing reconstructed from memory on a Friday afternoon.
Approval Workflows that match your process
Route time and expense through the sign-off steps your process needs, so nothing reaches an invoice until it's been approved.
HMRC mileage rates, applied automatically
UK Advisory Fuel Rates applied to mileage claims automatically — no manual rate maintenance, no compliance risk, no over- or under-payment.
Credit card statement import & reconciliation
Import corporate card statements directly — match transactions to projects, flag personal spend, reconcile in bulk. No line-by-line entry for frequent travellers.
Straight through to WIP and project cost
Approved time flows to WIP and approved expenses hit project cost immediately — no re-keying, no reconciliation, and the project manager sees margin impact as it happens.
Flexible billing models
Bill the way each engagement is sold — time and materials, or fixed price invoiced in full or at set stages. Rates and WIP flow through automatically, so invoices reflect what was actually delivered.
WIP to invoice, in a few clicks
Approved WIP turns into draft invoices ready to review, adjust and issue — no manual tallying of hours against billing schedules at month-end.
Native Access Finance integration — no middleware
Issue invoices in your own branding, then post them and project costs straight into Access Financials or Dimensions — no API connectors, no sync failures, no duplicate entry between the PSA and your ledger.
Credit notes & write-offs, under control
Raise credit notes and write off WIP with a clear disposition — return it to WIP or write it off — and a full audit trail behind every adjustment. The messy end of billing, handled properly.
Profit visibility, your way
Configure how gross profit is calculated — simple, contribution, or fully loaded — and which utilisation formula you report on, so the numbers match how your firm actually measures itself.
Executive portfolio dashboard
Live revenue, margin, utilisation and WIP across the whole business in one board-ready view — drill from firm level to project to resource in a couple of clicks.
Utilisation & bench reporting
Real-time billable utilisation by individual, team, skill and department, with bench cost surfaced against below-threshold resources — so idle capacity shows up early, not in the month-end margin.
Project profitability & margin analysis
Compare budget against actual by project, cost centre and resource — spot which project types, clients and teams consistently deliver, and which quietly erode margin.
Month-end readiness dashboard
Live WIP ageing, invoice pipeline and billing status in one view — so finance walks into month-end already knowing the picture, instead of assembling it from scratch.
Forward capacity & demand view
Utilisation forecast, available capacity by role and skill, and project staffing gaps flagged before they bite — so you can see where you're over- and under-committed ahead of time.
Most PSA tools take months to implement and cost tens of thousands in professional fees before you've raised a single invoice. Access PSA is different — a dedicated team handles everything, and your people are productive from week one.
Your Access team configures the platform to your firm's structure. Existing data is migrated and validated, no starting from scratch.
Project templates, invoicing, resource planner, and timesheet workflows are configured with your key stakeholders. Finance integration performed end-to-end with your live data.
All users onboarded with access to screen specific, in-product learning material. First billing cycle run end-to-end. ROI baseline established from here.
A 10% utilisation improvement delivers 20%+ operating profit improvement. For a 100-person PS firm, that's £2.5M+ per year. Access PSA can be live before your next billing cycle.
