For Consultants

You sell expertise.
Not your time doing paperwork.

Consultants spend 30% of billable time on admin—proposals, contracts, invoicing, follow-ups. Accordio handles all of it from a single message so you can focus on client work.

Built for consultants

Retainers, hourly, project-based, or value-based. AI adapts to any engagement model you use.

Proposals that convert

Turn a discovery call into a structured proposal with scope, timeline, and pricing—in minutes, not hours.

Recurring billing built in

Retainer invoicing, hourly billing, milestone payments. All connected to Stripe. Set it and forget it.

Sound familiar?

You had a great discovery call but the proposal took 3 days to write… and the client went cold
Half your week is admin: contracts, invoices, follow-ups, scope docs
A retainer client keeps adding “quick questions” that eat hours of unbilled time
You’re juggling 5 clients with 5 different contract formats in 5 different Google Docs
End-of-month invoicing takes an entire day because nothing is tracked

Advise more. Admin less.

Discovery to Proposal in Minutes

After a client call, message Accordio the key details. AI writes a structured proposal with scope, deliverables, timeline, and pricing. Send it while the conversation is still warm.

Retainer Management

Set up monthly retainers with hour caps and automatic invoicing. When a client burns through their hours, AI flags it and can generate an overage invoice or renewal proposal.

Who it's for

For consultants who bill their brain

Independent consultants and boutique firms who want to spend time advising, not administrating.

Solo Consultants

Independent advisors handling strategy, operations, or technology without a back-office team.

Boutique Firms

2–15 person firms managing multiple engagements that need consistent proposals and billing.

Management Consultants

Strategy and ops consultants with retainer-based or project-based engagements.

Fractional Executives

Fractional CMOs, CTOs, and CFOs juggling multiple clients with different engagement structures.

Not for: Large consulting firms (McKinsey, Deloitte) with dedicated back-office operations. You have people for this.

The math

5–8 hours per week on proposals, contracts, and invoicing

With Accordio

Proposals sent same-day from a quick message
Contracts auto-generated with your standard terms
Retainer invoices sent automatically each month
Reclaim 5+ hours per week for billable client work
