Professional services

Capture professional services work before the invoice.

Scellus builds and operates scope-to-invoice workflows for professional services firms. The workflow records work, checks changes against the agreed scope, and prepares a billing-ready record for your team.

Engagement readout · time on record

Where professional services firms lose fees.

Fees get lost when work, changes, and deadlines do not become a shared record before billing. These are the first places to check.

Time reaches the invoice too late

A partner takes a client call. An analyst sends the follow-up. A director reviews the draft. When the team records that work only as the invoice is prepared, the bill depends on memory rather than the engagement record.

Scope changes miss the billing review

A client asks for a second analysis after reading the first report. The team agrees in a call or message. If no one compares that change with the agreed scope before billing, the invoice still reflects the original brief.

Proposal work starts from an uncertain source

A consultant opens last year’s proposal because the approved version has no clear home or owner. The team rewrites standard material, checks old client details, and creates another version that no one will trust next time.

Deadlines depend on one person’s inbox

Client approvals, filing dates, regulatory submissions, and board reports need a shared record and a named owner. When they live in one inbox or calendar, the team loses the follow-up trail whenever that person is away.

Scellus runs six steps from scope to invoice.

Scellus uses six workflow steps to collect inputs, read source material, verify records, chase missing items, route decisions for review, and deliver the next record or handoff.

Explore the six workflow steps.

01

Work recorded after billing starts

Closed by

Collect + Chase

What changes

The workflow records calls, revisions, approvals, and other billable work against the engagement before billing review.

02

Scope change missing from the bill

Closed by

Read + Review

What changes

The workflow compares the change with the agreed scope and sends it to the billing owner before the invoice is issued.

03

Standard deliverable rebuilt for each engagement

Closed by

Verify + Deliver

What changes

Each deliverable type has an approved base, a named owner, and a defined place in the workflow.

Together, these steps form a scope-to-invoice workflow. Scellus operates the workflow, monitors its handoffs, and improves it with your team.

Workflow Review shows what to fix first.

Workflow Review is a fixed-fee service that starts at RM 1,999. Scellus maps one engagement workflow, identifies where it loses records or revenue, and gives your team a written report within one week.

  • A map of one engagement workflow, from scope confirmation to invoice, showing the handoffs, records, and gaps that affect billing.

  • An estimate of revenue left out of invoices through uncaptured work, unbilled scope changes, and repeated proposal or deliverable work.

  • A ranked list of changes, with the first owner and the order in which to make them.

  • An assessment of the CRM, time tracker, proposal library, and billing platform your team already uses, including the record each tool should own.

When Workflow Review fits.

Workflow Review fits firms with one named workflow that affects billing, client delivery, or operational continuity. The list below helps you decide whether to start there.

Workflow Review fits when

  • The firm delivers more work than its invoices record.
  • Teams agree scope changes in conversation but do not carry them into billing.
  • Proposal or deliverable work repeats because no approved base exists.
  • An active engagement relies on one person’s inbox, calendar, or memory.
  • Billing waits on a final follow-up or client approval.

Choose another service when you need

  • A software demonstration or vendor shortlist.
  • Advice on fee structure or pricing strategy alone.
  • A broad change programme without a named workflow to examine.
