Business Services · Consulting and professional advisory

Billable hours, signed scopes, and invoices that match the work.

Time against the engagement, a portal where the client sends what you asked for, scopes and change orders signed electronically, and retainers or milestones billed without a spreadsheet in the middle.

How the day is built Engagements and retainers Retainers, fixed-fee phases and hourly work — often all three on the same client.

One job, end to end

What a consulting job looks like in OnSight.

  1. 01
    Every hour knows which engagement it belongs toAnd whether it is billable. Non-billable time is still recorded, because an engagement whose real cost is invisible is one you cannot price the next time.
  2. 02
    The client sends what you asked for, in one placeRequests and uploads land against the engagement instead of arriving as replies to a thread nobody can find in six weeks.
  3. 03
    Scopes and change orders are signed, not agreed verballySent through DocuSign or PandaDoc, executed copy filed against the client, and the change order priced before the work starts rather than argued after.
  4. 04
    Billing follows the shape of the engagementA retainer on a cadence, a phase on completion, hours from the clock — and the same pricing engine on all three, so the figures never disagree.

The Deferred Work Vault

The half they said no to, sold back to you.

The phase two they were interested in, the assessment they wanted after budget season. Priced today and offered again when the budget exists.

Captured with its photograph and its measurement, repriced nightly at today’s cost, ranked by what is most likely to be recovered, and resurfaced when the customer is actually ready. Not a list somebody is supposed to work.

What ends up in it, in this trade

  • Phase two scoped and never started
  • Assessments deferred to next budget
  • Retainers proposed after a project
  • Training and enablement quoted once
  • Work shelved on a change of sponsor

The OnSight Agent

Ask for it in a sentence. It builds the automation.

It knows your job types, price book, crews and pricing program. Two a consulting business asks for on the first day:

“When a fixed-fee phase is signed off, raise its invoice and send it.”

Prices the completed phase, marks the tasks as billed so they cannot go on a second invoice, and puts it in front of the client as sent rather than draft.

“Remind me about anyone on a retainer who has used less than half of it.”

Compares logged hours against the retainer with a week left in the period, so the conversation happens before the month closes rather than after.
