Time tracking for consultants

Track every retainer and hourly engagement, measure your utilization, and bill from a clean record you can defend.

For a consultant, time is inventory. Whether you work on retainer or by the hour, you need to know how much of each engagement you have used, how much capacity you have left, and exactly what to bill. BizyClock turns your working time into an organized, client-by-client record — so billing is accurate and your utilization is a number you can actually see.

The consulting time challenge

  • Burning through a monthly retainer without a running total of hours used.
  • Switching between clients all day and losing track of what went where.
  • Estimating utilization instead of measuring it.
  • Assembling a defensible record when a client scrutinizes the invoice.

How BizyClock helps consultants

Retainer and hourly, side by side

Tag time to each engagement and see hours used against a retainer or accrued for hourly billing — so you always know where a client stands.

Utilization at a glance

Compare billable hours to your total working time to understand your real capacity and protect against both overcommitting and underbilling.

A billing record you can defend

Every session is timestamped and attributable, giving you a clear, professional record if an engagement is ever audited or questioned.

Clean exports for invoicing

Export decimal hours per client to PDF or CSV, ready for your invoicing or accounting workflow.

Solo consultants fit the Solo plan (one flat monthly price, no per-seat fees). If you run a small practice with associates, the Team plan adds shared clock-in, and the Business plan adds job costing and utilization reporting across the team.

Consultants time tracking — FAQ

How do consultants track their time?

Consultants log time against each client engagement — retainer or hourly — and total it per period for billing and utilization. BizyClock records this as you clock in and out, so you always have a running total per client rather than a month-end reconstruction.

Can I track hours against a retainer?

Yes. Tag work to the engagement and BizyClock keeps a running total of hours used, so you can see how much of a retainer is left before you exceed it.

How do I measure utilization?

Utilization is billable hours divided by total available hours. Because BizyClock captures both your billable client time and your overall working time, that ratio comes straight from your real data.

Which plan is right for a solo consultant?

The Solo plan — one flat monthly price for a single user, with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Move up to Team or Business when you add associates and want shared tracking, approvals, and job costing.

Bill accurately and know your real capacity

BizyClock tracks every retainer and hourly engagement, keeps a running total against each client, and turns utilization into a number — so you bill with confidence and never blow a retainer by accident.
