Bill clients for individual strategy sessions, expert interviews, advisory board meetings or one-on-one evaluations.
Add separately billable research subscriptions, client site travel reimbursements or ad-hoc technical audits.
Built specifically for knowledge workers, advisory practices and corporate consultants:
