For consultants
Plan capacity, protect client work, and invoice with confidence.
Steady helps consultants plan billable work before the week begins, manage retained clients, track what changed, and turn completed work into clean invoices and records.
The problem
Consulting work is valuable, but easy to under-plan and under-bill.
Consultants often juggle retained clients, advisory calls, project work, admin time, and follow-up. When the week is not planned around value, billable time can disappear quietly.
- Client work expands across calls, notes, follow-ups, and strategy time.
- Retainers can be hard to protect when the calendar does not show their real capacity cost.
- Small pieces of billable work are easy to forget if they are tracked after the fact.
- Invoices and records become harder to trust when time, scope, and approvals are scattered.
