Creating proposals for one-off engagements
Practice Ignition is not only useful for annual engagements, it is also really handy for one-off engagements that need to be quoted, eg. a cash-flow forecast. You can set up an engagement in Practice Ignition for a cash-flow forecast and set the billing to be on acceptance, or on completion. You could even get clever and set 50% on acceptance and 50% on completion.
Many practices manage all their engagements through Practice Ignition – both annual and one-off. This creates a robust process for the practice as everyone knows how they engage clients for new work. Once a practice has this structure in place it is incredible to see the efficiencies that are created.
