For independent consultants

Independent consultants

Powerful enough for teams. Simple enough for one.

If you are the whole company, you still need to answer the same questions — just faster, and without an admin day every month.

See it for solo work

How much did I work, for which client?
How many days are left on this contract?
What do I report before the meeting?
What should I invoice this month?
Which invoice has not been paid?

Multi-client time tracking with automatic man-days
Contract entitlement tracking
One-click activity reports in your client’s own template
Invoice drafts generated from reported work
Payment tracking and cash forecast

Track the work

Capture work without turning timesheets into administrative work.

Activities, hours and man-days against customers, projects and tickets. A Today screen built for the way consultants actually log their day.

Timer, quick entry, week and calendar views
Automatic man-day calculation from your own definition of a full day
Project membership decides who sees what
Weekly submission, manager approval, period lock

Manage client commercials

Always know how much contracted capacity is left.

Contracts are versioned, so changing terms never rewrites past periods. Every period bills under the terms that applied at the time.

Daily, hourly, fixed fee, retainer and milestone billing
Entitlement tracking: period allowance, carry-forward, expiry, overage
Rate management with contract-derived payment terms
Per-customer payment rules — a fixed day of the month, shifted to a business day

Report professionally

Turn daily work into clear, client-ready reports.

Activity reports with revisions and an approval flow, exported through templates you set up per customer.

Draft → sent → approved, with revision history
Customer-specific Excel templates
Report wizard with an Excel preview before you send
Atomic, gap-free report and invoice numbering

Bill accurately

Bill every client accurately, in the currency you agreed.

Billing periods produce invoice drafts from approved, reported work — not from a spreadsheet someone maintained by hand.

Multi-currency with central bank rates fetched automatically
Local-currency equivalent at the invoice date rate
VAT breakdown by treatment and rate
Expenses recharged to the client, kept separate from reimbursements

Collect and know your numbers

Understand what you are owed and what you have actually collected.

Payment tracking with partial payments and write-offs, plus the forecast of when the money is expected to arrive.

Receivables, partial payments, outstanding balance
Cash forecast based on each customer’s real payment behaviour
Profitability by customer, project and person
Separate operational and commercial dashboards

Why it is not a time tracker

Worked is not billed. Billed is not collected.

Efforvia models every one of these as a separate number, because in real consulting work they are never the same. Most tools collapse them into one and hide the difference.

Worked 12 MD Recorded by the consultant
Reported 11 MD Approved by the client
Billable 10 MD Under contract terms
Invoiced €6,000 Issued
Collected €4,500 Actually received

Example Illustrative figures. The gap between any two of these is a question worth answering — and you cannot answer it if your tool only stores one.
