Revenue looked fine; the bank account says otherwise. Which project makes money? What does an hour of your team really cost? If the honest answer is “roughly”, every bigger decision — hire, invest, say no — is a coin flip.
onda combines salaries, freelancer and partner rates, overhead and your client rates into a live forecast: true cost per hour, profit per project, and how much runway is left.
Every planned hour, salary and recurring cost rolls up into one monthly view: revenue, expenses, result — months ahead, not in the rear-view mirror. Fixed-price work is tracked against milestones, hourly work against budgets, and both feed the same forecast. That’s how you know whether there’s runway left for your own product bets.
onda calculates the true hourly cost per person from salary, overhead and realistic utilisation — and holds it against the rate you charge. Profit per project stops being an end-of-year surprise: you see plan versus actual while the project runs, and which clients quietly eat your margin.
From what you already plan in onda: salaries, freelancer and partner rates, overhead, client rates, project budgets and tracked hours. There’s no separate finance spreadsheet to maintain — the forecast is a by-product of running your projects.
Yes. Fixed-price projects are planned over milestones and tracked against them, right next to your hourly business — both flow into the same monthly forecast, so mixed models don’t break the numbers.
No — onda looks forward, your accounting looks back. It doesn’t replace your accountant or your invoicing; it tells you what cost, profit and liquidity will look like months ahead, while you can still steer.
Tracked hours times each person’s true hourly cost, held against what you charge. Because the cost side includes overhead and realistic utilisation, the margin you see is the real one — not the flattering one.
Hosted in the EU, and it stays yours. Salaries, rates and margins are the most sensitive numbers an agency has — we don’t sell or share them, period.
