The invoice is $8,000. What did you earn?
The client paid, but hours and expenses live in separate records. Revenue looks healthy while delivery costs stay hidden.
Key facts
- What it covers
- Invoices, recurring invoices, payments, expenses and receivables, next to the work they belong to.
- What it is not
- Not accounting software. Statutory bookkeeping and tax filing stay with your accountant.
- Who sees figures
- Financial records are limited by role; salary figures are leadership-only.
The next step becomes clear.
Connect reviewed effort, direct expenses and project revenue. See what remains before overhead, and track collected and outstanding amounts separately.

Where the cost comes from
What stays connected.
The details behind the workflow, including what is available and what is still planned.
THE CONNECTION
A completed project and a paid project tell you different things. Review collected payments, outstanding amounts, approved hours and allocated delivery costs together. Trace a figure to the client or work behind it before drawing a conclusion about the result. Use your accounting records to confirm the wider financial picture.
Read the Scan methodology Explore client management
A number with a basis
Collected cash, unpaid invoices and estimates stay distinct. You can see the basis of the figure you are reading.
Follow the cost back to the work
Approved time and direct expenses explain allocated delivery costs. Unallocated company overhead remains separate.
AI helps explain the result
Financial calculations follow defined rules. AI advisory can explain a result and its related risks within the user’s access.
Also in the system
Payments, expenses, purchases, receivables, recurring invoices, 13-week cash flow planning and information in multiple currencies. Statutory accounting and tax filing remain separate.
How money is connected to the work
Finance in PLYNTUM is operational: it connects money to the work that produced it. Statutory accounting and tax filing stay in your accounting system.
Invoice the work
Create invoices on the client they belong to, including recurring invoices for retainers.
Record payments and expenses
Log payments, purchases and direct expenses against the client or project. Amounts can be kept in more than one currency.
Watch what is still due
Receivables show which invoices are unpaid and for how long, so follow-up starts before cash runs short.
Plan cash for 13 weeks
The cash flow overview brings expected receipts and planned payments for the next 13 weeks into one view.
Read the result per client and project
Approved time and direct costs show what the work cost; payments show what came back. Company overhead stays separate.
