IT Consulting & Managed Service Providers

Understand the Profitability Behind Your IT Services

Recurring contracts provide consistent billing opportunities, but revenue alone does not show how well an IT business is performing. Software licensing costs, technician time, subcontractor charges and unbilled support work all affect the return from each client relationship.

OBG Outsourcing provides bookkeeping and accounting support for IT consulting firms and managed service providers. We focus on recurring contract accounting, software resale margins and technician cost tracking, supported by client profitability reports and monthly financial statements.

Recurring Contract Tracking

Managed service agreements may combine monthly support, monitoring, cloud services and software subscriptions. Changes in users, devices or service scope need to be reflected in billing records.

We maintain recurring billing schedules using your approved contracts and reconcile invoices with accounting records and receipts. Contract additions, renewals, cancellations and approved price changes are tracked to help your team identify missed or inconsistent billing.

Advance Billing and Deferred Income

Some clients pay monthly, quarterly or annually, while the related services are delivered over a different period. Clear supporting schedules help keep collections and recorded revenue properly distinguished.

We track advance receipts and maintain deferred income schedules according to your accountant-approved policies. These schedules connect billed amounts, service periods and approved revenue entries, supporting consistent monthly reporting.

Software Resale Margin Tracking

Software resale profitability depends on more than the difference between a customer invoice and a supplier bill. License quantities, billing periods, credits and approved discounts can affect the margin earned.

We match customer software charges with related vendor or distributor costs using available subscription records. Margin reports help your team review profitability by product, customer or contract and investigate items with unexpectedly low returns.

License and Vendor Cost Reconciliation

Differences between purchased licenses and customer billing can leave costs unrecovered. Vendor renewals and changes in subscription quantities also need regular attention.

We reconcile supplier invoices against available license schedules and customer billing records, flagging unmatched quantities, duplicate charges and credits awaiting adjustment. Your team can then review the underlying service arrangements and approve corrections.

Technician Cost Tracking

A recurring contract can require very different levels of support from month to month. Understanding technician effort helps you assess the cost of delivering each service.

We organize technician labor costs using approved timesheets, service records and payroll information. Costs can be assigned to clients, contracts or projects using your agreed allocation methods, with unassigned time highlighted for review.

Service Delivery and Client Profitability

Client profitability becomes clearer when recurring revenue is reviewed alongside software costs, technician labor and external support expenses.

We prepare reports that bring these figures together, distinguishing direct service delivery costs from allocated overhead. Where reliable data is available, reports show margins by client, contract or service line, helping management review pricing and resource allocation.

IT Project Accounting and Billing Support

Implementation, migration and infrastructure projects often run alongside recurring support agreements. Keeping project finances separate helps your team understand their individual results.

We track project income, approved time, subcontractor invoices and other direct expenses. Billing schedules help identify approved milestones, reimbursable costs and additional work ready for invoicing, while budget comparisons highlight cost overruns.

Receivables and Cash Flow Reporting

Customer collections and supplier payment commitments may follow different schedules. Annual software commitments, payroll and delayed client payments can place pressure on available cash.

We reconcile customer receipts, maintain receivables aging reports and prepare supplier payment schedules. Cash flow summaries help management review upcoming commitments and prioritize collection follow-ups.

Monthly Close and Management Reporting

Consistent accounting brings contract activity, software purchases and labor costs into a reliable monthly view.

We support bank and credit card reconciliations, payroll reconciliation, supplier account reviews and preparation of supporting schedules. Monthly reports can include profit and loss statements, balance sheets, recurring revenue summaries and client margin analysis, with outstanding queries documented for review.
