The problem with consulting on the honour system
Retainers slip a week because "we'll catch up next month". Scope creeps into every engagement and gets absorbed as goodwill. Hours logged from memory on the last day of the month are always low. You know it, your accountant knows it, and it's costing real money.
Details captures work as it happens: a live timer per task, a schedule that reminds you a retainer is due, and an invoice that assembles itself from the hours and fixed fees you already logged.
Who Details is for
- Solo consultants running 3–15 concurrent client engagements
- Small consulting firms (2–10 people) that share a book of clients
- Advisors billing a mix of retainers, hourly work and fixed-fee projects
- Anyone tired of pulling invoices together from a spreadsheet at month-end
Why not just a generic tool?
- A to-do app has no idea a client owes you an hour of thinking every Tuesday
- A timesheet tool captures hours but never turns them into money
- An invoicing tool takes hours you retype — and quietly drops the ones you forgot
- Details connects the schedule, the timer and the invoice so nothing falls through the cracks
- Sequential invoice numbers, correct VAT and an audit trail your accountant can actually work with
