You are generating revenue. You are not keeping enough of it.

If you run an IT services or systems integration firm between €2M and €15M, and your margins are not reflecting your revenue — ClearPoint Insights identifies exactly where the profit is going, and what to fix first.

7 drivers
Structured performance framework assessed in every engagement
2–3 weeks
Typical diagnostic timeline from intake to final report
IT services only
Exclusively. Not general advisory. This sector. These patterns.
Clear output
Written report and prioritised action plan. Not a presentation.

Your revenue is growing.
Your team is busy.
Your pipeline is active.

And yet the bottom line does not reflect any of it.

The gap is almost never where you expect it to be. It is not a sales problem or a demand problem. It is structural — embedded in how work is priced, how delivery is managed, and how your client base is composed. It appears in the same places, in the same patterns, across almost every IT services firm of your size.

Pricing that does not hold

T&M engagements scoped to win, not to margin

Delivery that absorbs overruns

scope changes billed at zero, project margin eroding

Utilisation gaps

bench costs invisible until they hit the P&L

Client portfolio distortion

anchor clients at below-average margin pulling down the average

Revenue without predictability

project dependency creating feast-and-famine cycles

These patterns are findable.
The financial impact is quantifiable.

And once they are mapped, they are almost always correctable.

The 7-driver framework

A structured diagnostic.
Not an open-ended review.

Every ClearPoint engagement uses the same seven-driver framework —
applied consistently, scored against sector benchmarks, and mapped to financial impact. The output is a written analysis and prioritised action plan. 
Not a presentation of options.
