Job profitability by client and engagement type
Staff utilization rates and billable hours trend
WIP aging and unbilled time summary
This cycle, job profitability by client and engagement type moved first, while staff utilization rates and billable hours trend explains why. The summary should tell the team what changed, what needs attention next, and whether the current report cadence still matches the workflow.

How to launch the first version
Start with Xero as the primary source so the first report reflects one clean system of record.
Deliver to Slack first; it is the fastest way to put the update where this team already reacts to it.
Once the first pulse reads well, add one adjacent source or stakeholder view instead of broadening the report all at once.
Trust notes for this workflow
Write against the product that exists today. If setup depends on Sheets exports or grouped sources, say that directly.
Keep the page focused on one workflow and one job to be done instead of trying to rank for every adjacent metric term.
