For professional services

Your people are the product.
Measure them like it.

Compono Engage is an employee engagement platform for accounting, legal, consulting and engineering firms where utilisation, retention and partner succession are people problems. It runs the survey and reports the score any tool in the category reports, and finds how each practice group actually works. If billing is the job, buy a practice management system.

How it shows up for professional services

Fee-earners are leaving faster than the market average

In the year to February 2026, 8.3% of people in professional, scientific and technical services left their job, against 7.2% across all industries. In a firm that bills time, every departure is billable capacity walking out.

The replacement is not on the market either

Two in five professional occupations remain in national shortage, and Jobs and Skills Australia reports employers finding gaps in employability skills and experience even among qualified candidates.

The load shows up as a claim before it shows up in a conversation

Mental health conditions now account for 12% of all serious workers' compensation claims in Australia, and the median time lost in those claims is almost five times that of every other injury and disease.

Hours are logged. Capability is not.

A registered tax agent must complete at least 120 hours of continuing professional education across a three-year registration, with 20 hours a year. Every professional body runs a version of that clock. Hours prove attendance.

Everything a good system tracks.
And what only Compono finds.

Compono Engage

The employee engagement platform that reads each practice group on its own terms

  • Like any engagement platformSatisfaction scores and response rates
  • And what only Compono findsHow each practice group actually works

Engage runs the firm-wide survey and reports satisfaction, the way your current tool does. Culture is then measured across 12 dimensions, current against desired, by practice group, office, level and partner team. You see which groups are pulling in a different direction from the firm, and what to change first.

Compono Hire

The applicant tracking system (ATS) that finds graduates who last

  • Like any ATSResumes, applications and graduate intake stages
  • And what only Compono findsFit against the role and the team they would join

Hire holds the resumes and runs the graduate intake at volume, which is what any applicant tracking system is for. Every applicant is also profiled against the role and the team they would join, and ranked on evidence rather than on which university is on the resume. Intakes get compared on the same basis.

Compono Develop

The learning management system (LMS) that maps the partner track

  • Like any LMSContinuing development hours, courses and records
  • And what only Compono findsThe capability behind the hours

Develop records continuing development hours and course completions the way your development register does. Capability is also defined for each level, with pathways tied to it and a record of what someone can actually do, so an hours count becomes evidence for a promotion decision.

Do what you must do, but investing in Compono was a smart move for us.

Common questions

Yes. Compono Engage is an employee engagement platform used by accounting, legal, consulting and engineering firms. It runs the surveys you would expect, and adds a culture read across 12 dimensions so you can see how each practice group actually works rather than how satisfied it says it is.

Yes. Results cut by practice group, office, partner team or level, current against desired. That is usually where the story sits, because a firm-wide average hides the group that is pulling away from everyone else.

Compono Hire profiles every graduate applicant against the role and the team, then ranks the pool on the same evidence. A large intake gets compared consistently, and interview time goes to the people most likely to still be there at year three.

Yes. Hours and assessed capability are recorded against the person, with renewal dates and reminders. Compono holds and reports the record. Accrediting the activity stays with your professional body.

Single sign-on runs with your identity provider, and integrations are scoped per customer. Our partners page lists who we work with. Compono holds the people record for hiring, culture, learning and competency, and does not replace practice management or billing.

At 150 people you sit in the 100 to 500 band, where one product runs circa $7k to $13k AUD a year depending on where you land, and a second product comes down by about 30%. Every firm in a band sees the same numbers.

Hall Chadwick Brisbane, part of one of Australia's most experienced accounting groups, has 80 employees and 14 people leaders using Compono. STA Consulting Engineers uses work personality in recruitment planning and team design.

Compono is built and hosted in Australia and New Zealand, and the platform is written to travel. Data is hosted in Australia and New Zealand wherever your team sits. The professional body changes name by market, and the way Compono holds registration and development records does not.

Talk to us about culture by practice group.

Tell us how many partners and practice groups you run, and where retention hurts most. We will show you the part of the platform that fixes it, on a worked example like yours, and say so plainly if we are not the right fit.
