Before Float’s latest finance features, spreadsheets were the go-to for estimating profits for the Belladati team. The process was manual and involved a lot of back-and-forth between the PMO and finance teams as they debated how to price work because they couldn’t get a clear, confident view of each project’s margins. Since estimating in Float, the team can see and agree on their profits before work kicks off—so they move faster and make more confident decisions for every project. You can do the same. Our Estimates feature is now live 🤩, and here’s what’s possible: • Create work estimates grounded in real capacity and margins • Track profitability in real time and course-correct before it’s too late • Compare estimates vs. actuals to close the gap between plan and reality Head over to https://lnkd.in/dftu8jaR to learn more.

Earlier this year, we revised our company values. They aren’t just words on a page. They’re real practices that shape how we make decisions, collaborate, and hold each other accountable. They inform how we hire, grow, and recognize success. They set the standard for how we show up and move toward what matters most. Our recent all-team meetup reflected every value. Over the next few weeks, we’ll share how. This is post 1 of 5. 💬 Value: Say the thing One of the most energizing parts of every Float meetup is our conference day. It’s a full day of team-led talks, followed by open Q&A. That’s where things get interesting. This year, we built 15 minutes of Q&A into every session. Because as important as the polished talks are, it’s the unpolished questions (and often the ones that feel obvious or half-baked) that lead to the sharpest insights. We hoped people would feel safe enough to speak up early—and they did. Every session had questions from across the team. By the time we reached our final agency ops panel, even our non-Float guests were saying the thing! (Ahem, value-based over hourly pricing for professional services work 😉) Say the thing is one of our values because it creates space for everyone to speak up, without having to be the loudest voice in the room. We make better decisions because of it.

A new era of profitable resource management is here. For too long, project estimates have been built on crossed fingers and rough guesses. Margins were often an afterthought. Float’s new Estimates feature changes that! It gives you visibility into project costs and profitability before the work even begins. It’s built for professional service teams that want to price smarter, resource better, and protect their margins from day one. Join the waitlist 👇

We just wrapped our 2025 meetup down under in Sydney (on Gadigal land of the Eora Nation)—and it was a ripper! 🤩 From three days of co-working at Bondi Beach to an all-star conference day feat. a magician and industry panel, to bridge climbs, whale watching, lawn bowls, and a finale party on the harbour. Our meetups aren't just a template event. Every year the format evolves, reflecting our values and how we work (more to come on that later). This year we didn’t work with any external events company, it was all organised in-house. A huge shout out and thank you to our ops team Sarah Tessier, Julia Fulton, Ashley Mondesir, Amber Larsen ✨ and our Director of People & Ops Georgie Roberts for pulling off a cracker meetup to remember. Only 360-something days until next year! 😉

All-in-ones try to do it all. But seeing your profits clearly? That part usually gets...blurry 👀 Purpose-built for professional services, Float gives you the context and data that all-in-ones overlook—so you can resource smarter, and stay on budget.

“I think we’re at capacity…” When you’re relying on gut feel or secondhand feedback, it’s easy to miss signs of burnout or under-utilization. That’s why you need a tool that gives you a clear picture of how your team’s time is being used 👇
