For consultancies
Engagements, hours and invoices that actually agree.
Management, IT, finance and HR consultancies use SparkDesk to sell engagements, track every billable hour against budget and invoice on milestones, without reconciling three systems at month end.

- Billable hours by day
- Subtotals per client project
- Submit for approval
Sound familiar?
What gets fixed
- Proposals rebuilt from the last one
- Quotes pull from your products and services catalog with multi-currency price lists, and contracts come from templates and a clause library.
- Hours that never make it onto an invoice
- Time logged against a project shows as unbilled until it is invoiced. Generate a draft invoice from unbilled hours in a couple of clicks.
- Partners asking for the numbers
- Reports group revenue, hours and pipeline by client or consultant with subtotals and a grand total, and dashboards keep them in view.
- Working solo today, hiring next year
- Start on Solo by yourself and move to Team when you bring on associates. Your records, templates and Flows come with you.

For consultancies: questions
Something else? Ask us.
Can I invoice in my client's currency?
Products and services can carry price lists in more than one currency, and quotes and invoices are created in the currency you choose for the client.
Can my AI assistant log time and draft invoices for me?
Yes. Connect SparkDesk to Claude or ChatGPT through the MCP server and ask it to start a timer, log time or draft an invoice from unbilled hours. It acts with your permissions only.
Do you integrate with my accounting software?
Not today. There is no QuickBooks or Xero connection. Many consultancies export invoices and payments from reports, or use the REST API to sync what they need.
