Consultancy and advisory teams

Advisory value reaches the invoice before the week becomes a blur.

Consultancy revenue is often hidden in workshops, research, decks, follow-up calls and internal alignment. Half5 helps turn that work into approved client value while every user keeps control of the personal timeline.

Advisory follow-up becomes visible Retainer and agreement value become easier to defend Only submitted hours reach managers Planned app features are named clearly
Where the money leaks

The problem is not time tracking. It is proving what reaches the invoice.

Each branch loses billable work in a different place. Half5 makes that loss visible before finance rebuilds the week from memory.

Meetings

Work starts before and after the meeting

Preparation, notes, follow-up and stakeholder alignment deserve context before they disappear into the day.

Research

Research rarely looks like one clean block

Browser work, deck building and document review can become client-aware suggestions instead of vague admin.

Retainers

Retainer value needs proof

Approved hours make agreements, write-offs and recovered value easier to defend with finance and the client.

Market fit

Choose a rollout that already matches how your team sells time.

How it works

From forgotten work to approved revenue without breaking trust.

Half5 gives the user control first. After approval, only useful work goes to finance, integrations and agents.

01

Half5 recognizes advisory work

Meetings, files, research and follow-up become clues the consultant can turn into submitted hours.

02

The consultant chooses what is shared

The personal timeline stays private until work is submitted as customer, project and activity context.

03

Engagement leads approve the value

Approval filters unclear, internal or outside-agreement work before finance sees it.

04

Finance receives explainable output

Approved advisory hours move to reports, exports, invoices, accounting systems or agents.

Software, finance and agents

Approved work becomes the center of the toolchain, not private activity history.

The strongest enterprise story is clear: people keep control, managers approve work, finance receives clean output and agents can automate on the safe layer.

Client engagements

Customers, projects, activities and rates keep advisory value connected.

Retainer proof

Approved hours give retainers, write-offs and agreement decisions a factual base.

Planned advisory classification

Meeting, deck and research classification is marked as a future branch-specific app feature.

Agents on approved work

Internal agents can use submitted hours and approvals instead of raw activity.

For consultancy and advisory teams

Advice, workshops and follow-up stay connected to revenue.

Half5 helps advisory teams recover work across meetings, decks, research and follow-up while keeping the personal timeline under user control.

Billable value returns

Even a few missed minutes per person per day become serious revenue across a team.

Trust stays intact

The raw timeline stays personal. Teams work with submitted hours, approvals and invoice-ready output.

Approval before invoicing

Managers review exceptions before finance receives clean data, so recovered hours stay explainable.

Start with clarity

Choose the place where missed work already costs revenue.

Half5 shows which revenue can return, what stays personal, which hours finance may use and which systems receive approved data.

Client, project, activity and rate context stay attached to submitted hours.

Approvals make retainer work, change requests and write-offs easier to explain.

Finance sees approved value instead of reconstructed advisory notes.
