The reality of MSP billing
Your distributor and CSP files arrive, but that is only the beginning.
Your team still needs to allocate charges by customer, check rates, apply markups, account for changes and prepare the information for invoicing.
Add licences, rebates, credits, service charges and data held across different systems, and the end-to-end billing process quickly becomes difficult to control.
Then a customer questions an invoice, and your team has to trace the charge, explain what changed and confirm whether the number is right.
We can help you fix the end-to-end process.
We make MSP billing more accurate, connected and trusted, while giving your team clearer information to protect margin, identify revenue opportunities and have better customer conversations.
Does this sound familiar?
Too much depends on spreadsheets
Customer rates, markups, licences, adjustments, service charges and commercial agreements may sit across different files and systems.
Difficult to know whether every invoice is right
Manual processes make it harder to spot missing consumption, incorrect rates, licence changes, credits or charges that were not passed on.
Customer queries become investigations
When a client questions a charge, your team has to reconstruct where the number came from, what changed and whether the invoice is correct.
Your true margin is hard to see
You may know what was invoiced, but not what you actually earned from each customer after rates, adjustments, credits and rebates.
The process depends on key people
When pricing rules, exceptions and workarounds depend on individual knowledge, billing slows down and becomes harder to verify when those people are unavailable.

We turn MSP billing into a process your team can control and use
We work with your finance, operations and billing teams to understand the end-to-end process, from the files and information you receive to the invoices and customer conversations that follow.
We then document the process, fix the areas causing the greatest pain and give your team clearer information about billing, customers and margin.
Understand the process: Map where billing information comes from, how customer charges are prepared and where manual work, delays and uncertainty enter the process.
Fix the problem: Create a clearer, repeatable process that brings together the information your team needs, applies the right commercial rules and identifies exceptions earlier.
Use the insight: Give finance, operations and account teams a clearer understanding of what has changed, what requires attention and where action may protect or grow revenue.

A practical place to start: Microsoft and Azure billing
For Microsoft-focused MSPs, Azure and Microsoft billing provide a clear and recognisable place to begin.
Consumption, licences, customer pricing, markups, adjustments, credits and rebates all need to reach the right customer invoice.
When the relevant information sits across distributor files, spreadsheets, commercial agreements and billing systems, the reconciliation work becomes difficult to control.
We begin with the part of the process causing the greatest operational or commercial pain, then address the wider end-to-end billing journey where it makes business sense.
