Protect margin on every engagement

Six capabilities purpose-built for consulting firms running mixed T&M and fixed-fee books of business.

T&M and fixed-fee, side by side

Track Time & Materials and fixed-fee engagements in the same platform, with per-hour rate tracking where it matters and burn-rate tracking where it doesn't.

SOW milestone mapping

Map logged hours directly to statement-of-work milestones, so every invoice is backed by a secure, client-ready paper trail.

Scope creep alerts

Get flagged the moment an engagement starts burning faster than planned, so you can raise it with the client before margin disappears.

Partner-level approval chains

Route consultant timesheets through the exact hierarchy your firm requires, from team lead to partner, before a single hour is billed.

Consultant utilization dashboard

See billable ratio and available capacity across every consultant and engagement, so staffing the next project is a data decision, not a guess.

Enterprise SSO

Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace SSO make onboarding client-facing consultants and enterprise clients frictionless from day one.

Stop leaving billable hours on the table.

Know the real margin on every engagement, in real time, not at month-end reconciliation.
