BigTime

Professional services platform covering quoting, resourcing, delivery, and finance in one

Visit BigTime

BigTime is a professional services automation platform that connects project delivery with financial management, covering the workflow from scoping and quoting through staffing, time and expense capture, invoicing, and reporting. It is designed to keep budget-versus-actuals, work in progress, and margin visibility aligned with the general ledger, with native integration for both QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online.

Core capabilities include project and portfolio management, drag-and-drop resource scheduling with availability heatmaps, a margin-informed Quote Builder with rate cards, auto-generated SOWs, flexible billing structures, and one-click conversion from approved quotes to live projects. The platform also offers time and expense tracking, online payments, and reporting that can feed Power BI, Tableau, and Excel. AI features include AVA, an AI assistant for in-product guidance, an Expense Agent for receipt capture and categorization, a Resourcing Agent for staff-to-project matching, an Insights Agent for natural-language reporting, and BigTime MCP for extending AI to external systems. Additional modules include BigTime Quotes, BigTime Services CPQ, BigTime Foresight, and BigTime Data Hub.

BigTime is aimed at professional services firms, including consulting, engineering, accounting, architecture, IT services, and related practices. It is modular, allowing firms to begin with a core PSA foundation and add quoting, resource management, or data unification capabilities as needs grow. The platform is delivered as SaaS, with an in-house implementation team handling configuration of billing logic, rate cards, and general ledger mapping.
