How it works

Profit Advisory

A sustained profit-improvement process for IT and professional services firms.

Profit improves when leadership can see where it is heading, understand what moves it, and act before the outcome is fixed.

We put the process behind those decisions in place, then run it with leadership until it no longer depends on us.


Bosch CG works with owners, boards, and leadership teams where profit needs to improve and stay improved. The work is not another layer of management or a standing seat in the room. It is a practical process: clear principles, targets visible to the people making decisions, explicit decision ownership, and a review rhythm that holds the work together.

Where decisions go wrong as you grow

As a services firm scales, the commercial decisions multiply faster than the structure to handle them. Pricing, staffing, scope, and the trade-offs between them pile up on the owner, or stall in meetings. Margin softens, delivery friction rises, and the problems show up in the month-end numbers, weeks after the decisions that caused them. The decisions that set your margin are made all over the firm, every day, and you cannot sit in all of them.


How an engagement works

Run the process together until leadership owns it

Three stages connect the five areas that shape profit and embed the process in how the firm operates.

01

Agree the commercial principles and targets

Define how decisions are made across offering, clients, capabilities, internal systems, and the financial foundation, and the targets they must support.

02

Connect decisions to the forward P&L

Profitdrive.app connects pipeline, project plans, people cost, and overhead to a live forward P&L. Contracted, + Extensions, and + Pipeline remain distinct, showing the gap to target and what can still change.

03

Embed the management rhythm

Leadership uses the forward view to make decisions, resolve trade-offs, and hold decision owners accountable until the process becomes how the firm operates.

The working system behind the process

Profitdrive.app

Profitdrive.app turns pipeline, project plans, people cost, and overhead into a live forward P&L, so leadership can see the gap to target and what can still change. It sits beside your accounting system and does not replace it.

Profitdrive.app can also be used on its own. Bosch CG adds the judgement, decision process and leadership rhythm that turn the forward view into sustained action.

Senior leadership in discussion

Profit is set by a few decisions. Make them earlier, with the right people in the room.


The five connected areas

Profit moves across the whole firm

01

Offering

What the firm sells, how it is priced, and whether it can be delivered repeatedly at the intended margin.

02

Clients

Which clients create durable value, how concentrated revenue is, and whether the relationships belong to the firm.

03

Capabilities

The people, leadership depth, and delivery capacity needed to grow without eroding margin or resilience.

04

Internal systems

The decision rights, operating routines, and information that let teams make the right calls without waiting for the owner.

05

Financial foundation

The numbers leadership and a buyer can trust, with a live view of how revenue, delivery, people, and overhead shape profit.


Where the experience comes from
Gerben Bosch

Bosch CG is led by Gerben Bosch, former CFO and then COO of Capgemini Australia and New Zealand (2,000 plus people), through growth from under $100 million to close to $1 billion in revenue and the integration of acquisitions including RXP and Empired. That operator and buyer perspective matters when growth, a sale, acquisition, or integration changes the stakes. The aim remains the same: leadership owns the structure and runs it independently.
