Frequently Asked Questions
How does AgencyPro handle different consulting billing models?
AgencyPro supports hourly billing, project-based billing, and retainer invoicing. Track time spent on consulting activities, then create invoices that match your billing model—hourly invoices for session-based consulting, project invoices for specific engagements, or monthly retainer invoices for ongoing consulting. You can also combine models, billing some clients hourly while others have retainer agreements, giving you flexibility to match consulting pricing to client needs and engagement types.
Can I separate strategy sessions from research and report writing?
Yes, AgencyPro lets you categorize consulting work by activity type, so strategy sessions, research, analysis, report writing, and implementation support can be tracked separately. When creating invoices, include these as distinct line items, showing clients what they pay for different types of consulting work. This separation helps justify consulting pricing and demonstrates the comprehensive thinking and analysis that goes into professional consulting services.
How do I invoice for both monthly consulting retainers and additional project work?
AgencyPro handles both recurring retainer invoices and project-based billing. Set up monthly retainer invoices that automatically include tracked consulting hours within retainer scope, then create separate project invoices for additional engagements, research projects, or implementation support. Clients see clear separation between ongoing consulting services and additional project work, avoiding confusion about what's included in retainers versus extra services.
What if clients want to see which strategy sessions were conducted or which reports were delivered?
AgencyPro invoices support detailed line items and descriptions. When creating invoices from tracked consulting work, you can add notes specifying which strategy sessions were conducted, which research was completed, which reports were delivered, or which implementation support was provided. This level of detail helps clients understand the scope of consulting work completed and justifies consulting pricing, leading to better client relationships and fewer billing questions.
