Cash Flow for HR Consultancies

Fractional work, projects, and training have different cash timing. Map them all.

HR consultancies often run three revenue streams simultaneously — fractional HR retainers, project engagements, and training programs — each with different invoicing and collection timing. The Sprint maps all three into a single 13-week view.

  • 13-week cash map
  • 3 what-if scenarios: slow-paying client, capacity ramp, payment dispute
  • 72-hour delivery — pay nothing if it's late
  • 5-min weekly update — yours to run

Training programs require upfront spend before participants pay

Venue, materials, and facilitator costs hit before enrollment fees or corporate invoices. The Sprint tracks that float gap explicitly.

Fractional retainers are small and churn-sensitive

Losing one fractional client can mean a 20% drop in monthly revenue. Scenario tabs show how many retainer losses your fixed costs can absorb.

Project work disrupts fractional capacity

A large project engagement pulls consultant capacity from fractional clients. The Sprint models that capacity trade-off in cash terms.

Best fit

Can we track retainer and project revenue separately?

Yes. Each revenue stream is mapped individually so you can see the contribution and cash timing of retainers vs. project work.

What if our revenue varies significantly month to month?

Variable revenue is handled through scenario ranges rather than single-point estimates, so the model reflects the realistic spread of outcomes.
