Run every engagement from proposal to close-out
Consulting firms sell expertise, but too much time gets burned on admin. Vrge gives you a single offline-first system to manage client engagements, track deliverables, log hours, and send invoices, so you can spend more time on billable work and less on overhead.
One-time purchase, never a monthly per-seat fee. Team tiers add a server you run yourself, with invites by email.
The problem in this industry
Independent consultants double-enter every billable hour: once in a calendar, once in a time tracker, once on an invoice. Vrge proposes the time entry from the calendar event and bundles it with the invoice line item.
The problems you know too well
- Engagement details live in too many placesProposals are in Google Docs, timelines in spreadsheets, notes in email, and billing in QuickBooks. No single view shows you where an engagement actually stands.
- Deliverable deadlines sneak up on youStrategy decks, audit reports, and recommendation documents each have their own timeline. When you are juggling four clients, it is easy to miss a deliverable until the night before.
- Billable hours disappearYou spend two hours on a client call, forget to log it, and eat the cost. Multiply that across a month and the lost revenue is significant, especially for solo consultants.
- Client context vanishes between engagementsA client comes back six months later for a follow-up project. You cannot remember what you recommended, what they implemented, or who the key stakeholders were.
How most independent consultants set Vrge up
- Google Calendar
- Billable meetings become auto-proposed time entries. Accept the proposal and the hour is logged to the right engagement. No manual stopwatch, no forgotten calls.
- Gmail
- Prospect threads propose clients, and a scoped brief proposes the engagement alongside it. You see the structure before you type it.
- Stripe or Square
- Incoming payments match to the right invoice by amount and memo. The observer proposes marking it paid. You approve in one click.
- CSV bank import
- Business expense tracking for the consultants who'd rather avoid OAuth. Drop a CSV monthly and the observer proposes the expense entries.
Every source is read-only, and you choose what any cloud AI is allowed to see. Connect what you already use. Vrge watches, proposes, and waits for you to accept.
