Economics

Every client is an engagement with a P&L, not just a fee on a spreadsheet. a P&L

The moment a client accepts, AccountsOS creates their engagement: the annual fee, the cost of running their books, and the margin. See it per client on Economics, or open it as a project alongside everything else your practice delivers.

Created automatically when a client accepts. Nothing to set up.

Client engagements on AccountsOS: Every accepted client becomes an engagement, fee, cost and margin, automatically.

The practice's Projects screen filtered to client engagements, showing the annual fee, AccountsOS cost and this month's profit for each client

How it works

A client accepts

Whichever way they joined, add them directly, they invite you, or you invite them, their engagement is created the moment the link goes active.

The fee sets the revenue

Set the client's monthly fee once on Economics and the engagement's annual value updates with it, no separate entry.

The cost fills in

The AccountsOS cost of running that client's book lands on the engagement automatically, the same figure Economics already shows.

You see the margin

Revenue minus cost, per client, per month, right there on the project and on the Economics row.

One engagement per client, created automatically on acceptance
Annual fee becomes the engagement's revenue, always in step with what you charge
AccountsOS cost fills the software cost line, no manual entry
Archive or lose a client and the engagement closes with them, nothing left dangling
Same Projects screen your practice already uses for every other piece of delivery

FAQ

The questions accountants ask first

Do I have to set this up per client?

No. It's created automatically when a client's link goes active, named after them, with the fee and cost filled in.

What if I haven't set a fee yet?

The engagement still exists with zero revenue. Set the fee whenever you're ready and the value updates.

Does this replace how I track my other work?

No, it's the same Projects screen. A client engagement is just another project, filtered separately when you want to see only clients.

What counts as the cost?

The AccountsOS cost of running that client's book this month, the same figure that feeds Economics. Hours and disbursements are on the way.
