1. Data integrity first
Coverage dates, statuses, duplicate IDs, cancelled work, credits and missing references are checked before a commercial discrepancy is asserted.
A 90-day, evidence-led commercial reconciliation for UK service and maintenance contractors. Three ordinary exports in. A human-reviewed Revenue Assurance Register out.
The first job is not to connect every system. It is to establish whether the records you already have can prove where billing and operational reality diverge.
Coverage dates, statuses, duplicate IDs, cancelled work, credits and missing references are checked before a commercial discrepancy is asserted.
Revenue leakage, possible overbilling, data issues and future sales opportunities stay separate. We are willing to conclude “insufficient evidence”.
Every material finding carries the underlying evidence, confidence grade and a recommended next action for your commercial team.
Each finding is classified so your team can see what is strongly supported, what still needs checking and what should not be counted as existing revenue.
Strong structured evidence of a billing gap after exclusions.
Records materially disagree; commercial validation is required.
A signal exists but the evidence is incomplete.
Future work and unreliable evidence are reported separately from existing revenue.
For the free Data Fit Check, a screenshot of column headings or a small pseudonymised sample is enough. The paid audit only proceeds if the records can support a defensible reconciliation.
Job/work-order ID, customer/site ID, job type, status, completion date, contract/reference and expected value where available.
Invoice/credit ID, customer/site ID, job reference, date, status, net value, credit value and void/cancellation status where available.
Job ID, quote/agreed value, rate/contract baseline, approved variations, approval status/date and discount where available.
Founding availability: 3 audit slots.
If the audit does not identify at least £295 of Grade A and/or Grade B commercial discrepancies requiring your review, the £295 audit fee is refundable.
This does not mean £295 is legally due, invoiceable or recoverable. Commercial entitlement remains your decision against your source records and contracts.
Why the distinction? Because the audit should be credible even when the answer is “nothing defensible found”.
No. The founding audit is export-led. We do not need production logins or API access.
Usually no. Pseudonymised IDs are preferred as long as they remain consistent across exports.
No. WorkBeacon does not change accounting records, decide entitlement or communicate with your customers.
We flag it as a data issue. We do not convert missing evidence into a revenue claim.
No. The audit focuses on the gap between operational completion, commercial entitlement evidence and billing. It is not collections activity.
Use the browser checklist to see whether your three exports contain the minimum fields for a defensible reconciliation. You can do this without sending a live dataset, booking a call or emailing WorkBeacon.
The checklist runs without transmitting your data. No calls, meetings or sales presentation are required. If a paid audit is later admitted, live data is intended to use the separate secure-upload route; never send passwords, card details or authentication secrets.
