For consultants
Bill your hours, not your evenings.
For independent consultants and advisors: track time as you work, turn it into an invoice in a few clicks, bill retainers and expenses, and get paid by card.
A consultant's month in BillGrid
- Track as you go. Run the timer per client and project, or fill in the weekly timesheet.
- Log costs. Record travel and other billable expenses, or import them from a CSV file.
- Invoice at month end. Pull the month's billable hours and expenses onto one invoice, with a line per task or per entry.
- Get paid. Clients pay by card through your Stripe account; reminders follow up if they don't.
Made for how consultants work
- Retainers. Bill a monthly retainer with recurring invoices, or hold money paid up front and draw invoices from it.
- More than one hat. Send from up to five businesses, each with its own name, address and logo, under one login.
- Clients abroad. Invoice in each client's currency; card payments work in USD, CAD, EUR, GBP and AUD.
- Ready for your accountant. Profit and loss, client revenue and payment reports, exportable to CSV or Excel.
- Firm when needed. The Firm reminder schedule follows up to 30 days late, and stops the moment you're paid.
Not the right fit if
You want bookkeeping, bank feeds or payroll in the same app: BillGrid is invoicing, not accounting, so pair it with your accountant's tools. Each time import uses one hourly rate, so work billed at different rates means separate imports. FreshBooks combines invoicing with accounting, at a higher price.
Questions consultants ask
Can I show the hours behind an invoice?
Yes. Import time with one line per entry, showing its date, project and note, so clients see exactly what they're paying for.
Can an associate track time too?
Yes, on the Company plan ($20 a month plus $5 per extra login). You bill their hours along with yours.
What does it cost?
$8 a month for unlimited clients and invoices. Free for 30 days, no card needed.
