  • Standardized, auto-filled client invoices for approval
• Develop standardized invoice entry forms for time tracking (per consultant/employee)
• Build automation flows to pull input data and update financial dashboards in real time
• Ensure the tool is non-subscription based, allowing our firm to fully own and operate it upon completion
• Include documentation and basic training for staff handoff
• Project proposal after interview stage
