Bill Every Hour, Manage Every Project, on One Platform
Consulting revenue is measured in billable hours — so how you track them matters. AuxBOS gives consulting firms accurate live time tracking, project management, a client portal and invoicing in one self-hosted license your data stays inside.
The problem for Consulting Firms
Fragmented today. Unified tomorrow.
Fragmented workflow
Most consulting firms operate across a stack of disconnected tools:
- Consultants forget to log hours until Friday — invoices lose 10-15% accuracy
- Client A's deck is in Google Drive, Client B's in Dropbox, Client C's emailed around
- Time-and-expense app costs $18/consultant/month — a 20-person firm burns $4,300/year
- Client confidentiality clauses forbid data leaving the firm's infrastructure
- Partners can't see the pipeline of the associate on the other floor
The AuxBOS way
AuxBOS unifies every one of those in one platform, deployed on your own server:
- One place for HR, time tracking, tasks, CRM, invoicing and the client portal
- Single login, unified data, real-time visibility
- One-time license (PKR 500,000 or USD $3,000) — no monthly fees
- White-label rebranding included so it launches as your product
How AuxBOS helps Consulting Firms
The modules that matter most for your workflow
Accurate billable-hour tracking
Live timers per task means consultants log time as they work, not from memory on Friday. Weekly reports flag anyone under- or over-logging.
Every client, every engagement, in one place
Tasks and projects tied to each client, contracts stored on the record, hours rolled up per engagement for accurate PnL per project.
Client portal for deliverables
Clients log in to see the project plan, latest deliverables, invoices and contracts. Replaces the "here's the latest deck" email chain.
Client data never leaves your firm
AuxBOS is self-hosted — every client conversation, contract and hour log lives on your server. Answers the "where is our data?" question in every RFP.
Realisation rate reporting
Reports show billable vs non-billable time per consultant, per client, per practice — the metric partners actually care about.
Unlimited consultants
Grow from 15 partners to 60 associates without renegotiating your software cost. One-time PKR 500,000 / USD $3,000 license, forever.
A typical day on AuxBOS
What a consulting firms team's workflow looks like
-
1
Associate opens their task list — engagements assigned by the engagement partner. Hits the timer as they start the deliverable.
-
2
Time logs against the specific engagement task, so realisation and PnL per project are always current — no Friday timesheet catch-up.
-
3
Deliverables (decks, models, memos) upload to the engagement record and appear in the client portal instantly.
-
4
End of month, invoices generate from real tracked hours, get partner sign-off, send from your own domain, and track paid status.
-
5
Partner reviews the practice dashboard: utilisation, realisation, pipeline value, cash collected — all rolled up automatically.
Common questions from Consulting Firms
Does the time tracker handle multi-currency clients?
Invoicing supports billing clients in any currency. Time logs are recorded per-consultant and converted at your defined rate per client/project.
Can partners see everything, and associates see only their work?
Yes. Roles and permissions let you scope module access at any level — partners see the full firm, practice leads see their practice, associates see their engagements.
Is this suitable for confidential client engagements?
Yes — that's why we chose self-hosted. Engagement data lives on your infrastructure only, so NDAs and data-residency clauses are straightforward to meet.
How does it compare to Harvest / Toggl / TimeCamp for consulting?
Those cover time tracking well but you still need separate tools for CRM, invoicing, project management, portal and HR. AuxBOS bundles them for a one-time license fee — usually cheaper than 12 months of a per-seat SaaS stack.
