Leaders in the professional services industry are always looking for ways to improve how their teams spend time, and GHJ is one of the early adopters of a technology leading that transformation.

GHJ Managing Partner Tom Barry was recently featured in a Fortune article spotlighting Laurel, a time intelligence platform that just closed a $100 million Series C funding round. The article explored how Laurel is helping professional services firms revolutionize time tracking and improve how employees work — and GHJ is leveraging the tool to better create value in how its people spend their time.

TECHNOLOGY TO BUILD BETTER ORGANIZATIONS

Fortune highlighted the growing need for technology that eliminates friction and administrative burdens in the workplace. Laurel’s solution uses AI to automatically track how professionals spend their time, replacing outdated, manual time entry systems. For firms like GHJ, this creates real operational value and directly supports client service.

“Time is the most precious resource our people have,” Tom told Fortune. “We want their time spent on value-added client activities, not administrative tasks.” 

He emphasized that GHJ’s investment in Laurel reflects a larger strategy to empower employees, enhance agility and ensure that the Firm remains at the forefront of innovation in the accounting and advisory space.

GHJ’s rollout of Laurel has helped drive stronger alignment between how employees spend their time and what matters most to clients. This approach increases transparency and strengthens internal decision-making, which ultimately supports the Firm’s culture of collaboration and efficiency.
