Project Billing Review
The Project Billing Review is five working documents for Workday professional services finance teams, $1,250 for your organization, delivered by email within one business day. They test whether recognized revenue walks back to the work that earned it.
The free check asks sixteen questions in its services area and does not ask about evidence at all.
Run it firstForty-five scored checks, and evidence asked about on every one.

Licensed to your organization rather than per seat. Two are live workbooks and three are guides your team can act on without Mel in the room.
- 01Services health workbookForty-five scored checks in seven domains, worth ninety-eight points, with a ranked gap list in about an hourXLSX
- 02Revenue reconciliation workbookTests recognized revenue against billings, unbilled movement and deferred movement, period by period, and flags every period that does not tieXLSX
- 03Contract behavior guideHow fixed fee, time and materials, milestone and capped contracts behave in the tenant, and where each quietly breaksPDF
- 04Approvals and rates guideTime and expense approvals, rate derivation, and who can approve their own work, plus the close controls that belong to servicesPDF
- 05Close evidence guideWhat to produce, in what order, so the close is defensible after the fact rather than reconstructed under pressurePDF
If it does not tie, something is in the wrong month.
Recognized revenue equals billings plus the movement in unbilled less the movement in deferred. The workbook tests each period against a tolerance and against the one before, so a break hidden in one month shows in the next.
| Recognized revenue | 1,284,000 |
| Billed in period | 1,150,000 |
| Movement in unbilled | 96,500 |
| Movement in deferred | (11,200) |
| Expected recognized | 1,257,700 |
| Difference | 26,300 |
| Verdict | Does not tie |
| Continuity | Opening does not match prior close |
Twenty-six thousand is small enough to survive a review and big enough to be a real cutoff problem.
A specimen services business two quarters after go-live scored 54 of 98 on the health workbook, banded At risk, failing on unbilled and cutoff.
Not an opinion, and not a rebuild proposal.
Every check asks twice: does the control exist, and could you show it worked? A critical Pass with nothing behind it scores as an exposure, the same as a failure.
This is not an audit or a revenue recognition opinion. It tells you which period stopped tying and why.
If the contract structure in your tenant has to be rebuilt, the documents will say so. Mel does not bid on the rebuild.
Built from public Workday documentation, public accounting guidance and Mel's own judgment, never from a client engagement. Check every configuration name against your own tenant release.
Before you buy, in plain answers.

Is this a revenue recognition opinion?
No. It tells you which period stopped tying and why. If the contract structure in your tenant has to be rebuilt, the documents will say so, and Mel does not bid on the rebuild.
