For consultancies that bill for judgment
Consulting firms do not all bill the same way. Some work is hourly, some is billed by the day, some is time and materials, and some is fixed fee. Telometris keeps the operational record consistent while allowing the client billing model to reflect the actual agreement.
Cost and revenue remain distinct
A project assignment can carry both an internal cost rate and a client billable rate. The same approved work can therefore contribute to contractor cost, client billing, and project profitability without treating those values as interchangeable.
Contractor invoices record what the company owes. Client invoices record what the client owes. Fixed-fee projects can retain time records for cost and profitability even when hours do not determine the client charge.
One client, several projects
Compatible projects may be invoiced separately or consolidated for the same client. Project identity remains visible inside the invoice, allowing the client to understand the source of the work without requiring separate delivery for every project.
Engagement-level truth
Every hour lands on a specific engagement at the consultant's billing rate, so realized rates, utilization, and engagement margin are facts rather than quarterly estimates. Unbillable time is visible too — often the most valuable number a partner sees.
Client-billable expenses attach to the engagement with receipts, flowing onto the invoice alongside fees. Nothing is absorbed silently.
Lean enough for the firm you actually run
Telometris deliberately omits the enterprise apparatus — no resource-planning modules, no consultant required to configure it. A firm of five or fifty is running in an afternoon: add people, set rates, create engagements, start recording.
Pricing follows the same philosophy: one plan with every feature, from $8 per user per month for small teams down to $5 as you grow. No feature gates between you and your own data.
Keep delivery, cost, and billing connected
Consulting work may be hourly, daily, time and materials, or fixed fee. The client agreement determines how revenue is billed. The operational record explains what work was performed and what it cost to deliver.
Telometris allows the same project history to support contractor cost, client billing, reporting, and profitability without treating those values as the same thing.
Common inquiries
Can we track utilization and realized rates?
Yes. Because hours carry billing rates and land on engagements, utilization, realized rates, and engagement margin are computed directly from the record.
How long does setup take for a consulting firm?
Typically an afternoon: add consultants, set their rates, create engagements as projects, and start logging. No implementation consultant is required.
Can partners approve time before it is billed?
Yes. Supervisors and partners review and approve logged time, and per-project approval requirements keep a reviewed record behind billing.
