5 Signs Your Project Finance Process Is Broken
1No Clear WIP Picture: You cannot tell at a glance which projects are over budget, which are under-billed, or where margin erosion is happening — because data lives in disconnected files.
2Revenue Recognition Guesswork: Calculating Percentage of Completion manually means you are always at risk of under-billing or over-billing — and the auditors will notice.
3Month-End Takes Days: Preparing journal entries, reconciling retention, and building a closing pack consumes 3–5 days every single period.
4Profitability Surprises: You only discover margin slippage after the damage is done because there is no bridge analysis connecting budget changes, variation orders, and CTC revisions.
5Audit Trail Gaps: Without a proper JE log and adjusted trial balance, every audit season turns into a frantic scramble to reconstruct what happened and why.

You are a project accountant, financial controller, or CFO working in construction, contracting, engineering, or any project-based business — and you need a reliable Excel-based system to manage WIP, revenue recognition, and month-end reporting without depending on a full ERP.
You already have a fully configured ERP handling all project accounting, or your business does not use the percentage-of-completion method — though the workbook can still be adapted for other revenue models.

The workbook is fully compatible with Excel 2016 and later, including Microsoft 365. It works on both Windows and Mac.
Can I customize the sheets for my own projects?
Absolutely. The file is fully unlocked and editable — you can add projects, modify categories, adjust formulas, and tailor every sheet to match your business needs.
Does this work for multiple projects at the same time?
Yes. The workbook is designed to handle a multi-project portfolio. All sheets are interconnected so you get both individual project detail and consolidated reporting.
Is it compliant with IFRS 15?
Yes. The POC calculator and revenue sheets follow IFRS 15 principles — including Contract Asset/Liability classification and the five-step revenue recognition model.
