Elevating Time Management with TallyPro.
Knight Frank’s Rural Consultancy team provides expert guidance to landowners, farmers, and investors, helping them navigate rural property management, planning, and development. Their work optimises estate operations, supports clients in achieving sustainability goals, and delivers tailored solutions that transform ambitions into measurable results.
The Rural Consultancy team sought a solution that could:
Capture time and expenses for every team member with ease.
Incorporate a grading structure with associated charge and cost rates, automating performance reporting.
Provide strategic reporting to assess:
Financial performance of jobs, clients, and teams.
Automated administration and improved operational efficiency.
TallyPro was implemented using the ‘Commercial’ costing structure, with significant customisations tailored to Knight Frank’s business needs and processes.
• Configuring staff grading structures with default charge-out and cost rates, automatically applied to projects.
• Applying regional and team-based reporting structures for deeper visibility.
• Generating detailed financial reporting by year and period.
• Providing advanced simulation reporting to support budgeting and forecasting.
• Creating custom security profiles for role levels.
• Delivering tailored dashboards for individuals and managers.
Since adopting TallyPro, Knight Frank has benefited from:
• Greater transparency of job and client profitability.
• Automated billing processes that save time and reduce errors.
• Improved budgeting and forecasting, allowing for more informed strategic decisions.
• Enhanced reporting by region and team, supporting both operational and leadership oversight.
• A smoother, more efficient administrative process, freeing the consultancy team to focus on delivering value to their clients.

“We started to use a CRM system that had some time tracking capabilities. However, we did not use it for long and quickly returned to TallyPro due to its seamless billing integration and the ease of use it offers my team.”

“Commercial Software were an exemplary partner to work with. From initial project scoping through to implementation their delivery, attention to detail and ability to tangibly add value was second to none. The level of service was outstanding throughout – I cannot recommend Geoff and his team highly enough.”
Chris Holden – Head of Finance, BPDTS 3
“CSL were a unique company to work with. Their flexibility, expertise and level of customer service was unlike any other supplier I’ve worked with in 20 years in IT. Most of the time it didn’t feel like there was a supplier/customer relationship at all, they were a true business partner in every sense of the term. A particular highlight was the work to ensure automated integration with our separate HR and Payroll systems which were operated by a separate 3rd party. My only regret is that we didn’t take the Expenses module on Day 1 along with time recording! I would instantly recommend them to any prospective customer.”
Dan Kennett – Product Manager
“I can’t believe it took us this long to make a change. So happy that we did. Numbers don’t lie.”
