The UK management consulting market is worth over £18 billion, and accurate time recording is the foundation of profitable client work. TimeTally helps management consulting, IT consulting, and strategy firms track billable hours by client and project, monitor consultant utilization rates, and generate client-ready reports. Supports IR35 off-payroll working compliance for engagements using contractors. From £2 per consultant per month.
Management consultants and IT consultants log billable hours by client and project in seconds. Works on any device, from client offices to remote locations.
Built specifically for management consulting, IT consulting, and strategy firms tracking billable client work.
Track consultant hours across multiple client projects simultaneously. See at a glance who's working on which engagement. For firms subject to SRA or ICAEW regulations, accurate time records against client matters are a professional requirement, not just a billing convenience.
Separate client billable work from internal meetings, proposal writing, and business development time. Accurate billable vs non-billable tracking is essential for IR35 compliance when engaging contractors, as HMRC uses working patterns as evidence of employment status.
Monitor utilization rates for management consultants. Identify consultant capacity and optimize resource allocation to engagements.
Generate professional timesheet reports for client billing. Export detailed time breakdowns for IT consulting and strategy projects. Client-ready reports with consultant grade, hours, and task descriptions provide the transparency that clients expect and that dispute resolution requires.
Track hours worked on each consulting project or client engagement. Export detailed reports showing time spent per project for accurate billing and analysis.
Partners and project managers approve consultant timesheets before client billing. Clear audit trail for all consulting engagements. This approval chain satisfies ICAEW and SRA requirements for time recording oversight in regulated professional services firms.
