Accounting, legal and other practices

Software for accounting, legal and other professional practices

Engagements, time, documents and compliance, kept in order.

A professional practice lives on engagements, recorded time, careful documents and policies that people must actually read. Perspectiv keeps each client’s engagements, time, documents and invoices together, with the access controls and history a practice needs.

A practice needs more than a timesheet

Practices are often run on a time-and-billing tool, a document store, an email inbox and a spreadsheet for continuing education. That works until a partner asks which engagements are over budget, a client asks for a document again, or an auditor asks who read the updated policy.

Perspectiv brings these together on the client record, with roles, permissions and an audit log so the right people see the right things.

How Perspectiv fits a practice

Clients and engagements

Record each client, their contacts and how each person may be contacted. Keep engagement letters and statements of work on the client, with renewal reminders for recurring work.

Time and billing

Professionals record time against the engagement; managers approve it, and approved time flows to invoicing at the agreed rates or as a fixed fee.

Documents and confidentiality

Attach documents to any record, keep a full history of every change, mask sensitive fields and apply retention rules and legal holds.

Policies and learning

Publish policies to the right people and collect acknowledgements and signatures. Track certifications and continuing education with renewal dates.

Questions

Can we restrict who sees sensitive client information?

Yes. Roles, permissions, access by part of the organization and masked fields control who sees what, and a security audit log records it.

Can staff acknowledge policies in Perspectiv?

Yes. Planned policy acknowledgments in HRMS send policies to the right audience and record reading, acknowledgments and signatures, with reminders.

Do you support retention rules?

Yes. Documents and history in the framework include retention rules and legal holds.

When can we start?

The private beta opens in Q2 2027 with Knowledge hub (intranet and published documentation) and CRM, with the framework underneath. Projects and Finance join as they are ready.
