Frequently Asked Questions

Implementation timelines vary based on organizational complexity and current system maturity, but typically range from 4 to 6 months from initial diagnostic to full operational use. The process is designed to be iterative, with early deliverables providing value before full completion.

Not necessarily. Our approach focuses on management accounting processes and frameworks that can often be implemented using your existing systems. We work with various platforms including ERP systems, specialized project accounting software, and even Excel-based solutions. System replacement is only recommended if current tools genuinely limit the implementation.

Successful implementation requires active participation from your finance team, particularly during the diagnostic and design phases. Expect approximately 10-15 hours per week from key finance personnel during intensive phases, with lower time requirements during training and stabilization periods. Operational staff involvement is typically limited to specific workshops and user acceptance testing.

Indirect cost allocation is one of the most challenging aspects of project-based accounting. We develop allocation methodologies tailored to your business model, considering factors such as project duration, resource intensity, and revenue drivers. The approach balances accuracy with practicality, ensuring the allocation method is defensible and maintainable without excessive administrative burden.

Project heterogeneity is common in our client base. The management accounting framework is designed with flexibility to accommodate different project types while maintaining consistency in core metrics and reporting. We establish project classification rules and type-specific costing templates that allow for variation while preserving comparability for portfolio-level analysis.
