Track consulting delivery. Bill every client engagement clearly.
Keito helps software consulting firms capture billable team hours, separate delivery from non-billable overhead, and produce reviewed billing summaries for every client account.
Software consulting firms bill for delivery. That requires client-level time records, not just headcount activity reports.
Capture delivery work by client and role
Record time by client, project, and team member role so billing reports reflect actual team composition without needing a separate tracking system per person.
Review team-level billing before it leaves the project
Give project leads a combined view of who worked on what, what is billable, and whether the team effort matches the client story before invoice prep starts.
Report team delivery in client billing language
Produce summaries that explain team effort by deliverable, milestone, or service area so clients understand what they are paying for.

Consulting delivery
One billing workspace for every client engagement your firm delivers
Software consulting firms often struggle with billing fragmentation: teams track time in different ways, project leads reconstruct delivery summaries from exports, and finance spends the billing cycle chasing missing context. Keito gives the whole firm a shared billing workspace where time is tagged by client and project, reviewed by the responsible lead, and turned into clean billing evidence before invoices go out.
Track delivery time across architecture, development, and advisory work in one place
Give project leads a review step before team time reaches the client invoice
Keep pre-sales, admin, and internal development out of billable client records

The difference is not just recording time. It is whether the record can support billing, project decisions, and client conversations.

What time tracking do software consulting firms need?
Software consulting firms need per-client project tracking, team billing review workflows, billable and non-billable separation, and the ability to produce clean client billing summaries from reviewed delivery records.
How should software consulting firms separate billable and non-billable work?
Classify delivery, architecture, advisory, and client-facing review work as billable. Classify pre-sales, business development, internal training, and overhead as non-billable. Review before the billing period closes.
Does Keito support multiple billing models for consulting firms?
Yes. Teams can track time against hourly engagements, fixed-price projects, or retainer agreements and use the same review workflow to produce appropriate billing summaries for each model.
