The solo-firm tax

You sell six-figure advice from a Google Doc proposal and a contract stuck in someone's inbox.

Your proposal undersells your rate

A doc with a number at the bottom doesn't read like the senior advice you're charging for, and it invites the client to negotiate you down.

The MSA dies in procurement

Your MSA and SOW bounce between you, the client and their legal team for weeks before anyone signs, and the engagement just waits.

Retainers and milestones slip

You're advising clients, not watching the calendar, so monthly retainers and milestone invoices go out late, or get forgotten entirely.

Getting paid across borders is painful

International clients, net-60 terms, FX fees and wire details on a sticky note. The money is the slowest part of every engagement.

How it works

Up and running in three steps

No migration project, no five separate tools. Set it up once and run the whole client relationship from one place.

01

Pitch on a branded page

Publish a board-ready proposal microsite with your logo, executive summary, scope and phased fees, start from a consulting template or let AI draft it from a short brief.

02

Sign the MSA and SOW

Turn the yes into an MSA and SOW with placeholders, pre-placed signature fields and signer roles, e-signed with a full audit trail in minutes, not weeks.

03

Bill, get paid, reconcile

Schedule the retainer and milestone invoices, let clients pay by card, bank or stablecoin, and watch every payment reconcile on one ledger.

What you get

Clients pay however they prefer, worldwide

My MSA used to sit in a client's legal queue for two weeks. Now the proposal, the MSA and the SOW get signed in one sitting, the monthly retainer bills itself, and an overseas client paid in USDC without a single FX headache.
