13-Week Rolling View, Every Week

Not a one-time snapshot — a living report, updated every Monday. Never older than 6–7 days.

Labor Utilization Layer, Not ERP

Keep QuickBooks. Keep Xero. WorkPulse sits on top — no migration, no new accounting system required.

One report. The numbers your P&L was never designed to show.

Your WorkPulse report drops every Monday. 13 weeks of rolling history — gross margin by project, billable utilization by employee, client concentration flags, overhead drag on net margin. The labor intelligence layer your accounting system doesn't have.

From timesheets to labor intelligence in three steps.

Self-serve. No consultants. No IT project. No new accounting system. Upload your data — WorkPulse does the rest.

Step 01

Upload your timesheets

CSV or Excel — we handle the mess. QuickBooks export, Harvest, BambooHR, or a plain spreadsheet. If your team tracks hours anywhere, WorkPulse can read it. No integration required.

Step 02

We build your 13-week rolling report

Billable vs. non-billable labor split, gross margin by project and employee, overhead impact on net margin, client concentration risk — all computed from your actual cost data. No manual entry.

Step 03

Your WorkPulse report lands every Monday

In your inbox before your first meeting. CEO view for the big picture — are we making money? COO view for the operational detail — where exactly is margin leaking? Both included, every week.
