Leadership includes founders Julian Clarke, Matthew Hayter, and Doug Taylor, with Mark Orttung as CEO. Projectworks recently completed a Series A that values the company at over NZD 100 million. The funding is earmarked to support global customer acquisition, increase R&D investment, and establish a product and engineering team in Silicon Valley. These moves are intended to accelerate the company’s expansion into the U.S. and other markets. Projectworks is a Wellington-based, cloud platform for managing professional services firms that integrates with accounting systems like Xero and CRMs like HubSpot. Launched in 2019, the SaaS product targets mid-sized consultancies in management, software, engineering and architecture, and estimates a total addressable market of more than US$100 billion with combined annual growth of 13.4%. The company reports 170% annual revenue growth and serves over 100 customers whose staff span 40 countries. Projectworks has won Xero Emerging App Partner of the Year (2020) and the Microsoft Emerge X competition, and was a 2021 Xero App Partner of the Year finalist. Leadership emphasizes a technical founding team and a product designed to eliminate multi-platform complexity for specialist consultancies.
