Consulting Firms

From proposal to payment, one connected platform

Belvak gives consulting firms a single system for proposals, engagements, invoicing, and client relationships -- so your partners can focus on advising, not admin.

The problem

The consulting firm bottleneck

Your firm runs on expertise, but the business side still runs on disconnected spreadsheets and generic tools.

Proposals consume your senior partners

Every new engagement starts with a detailed proposal. Without templates and a structured pipeline, your best people spend more time writing proposals than advising clients.

Contract value gets lost between systems

The agreed fee lives in the proposal, but project tracking and invoicing happen elsewhere. Mismatches lead to under-billing and awkward client conversations.

Multiple engagements per client, zero overview

A single client might have three active projects and two pending proposals. Without a unified view, nothing connects and things slip through.

Revenue forecasting is guesswork

With proposals in email, projects in spreadsheets, and invoices in accounting software, predicting next quarter's revenue takes days, not seconds.

The solution

Every engagement, from pitch to payment

A connected workflow that mirrors how consulting firms actually win, deliver, and bill for work.

Proposal pipeline built for consulting

Create, track, and convert proposals in a structured pipeline. Every proposal carries its scope, pricing, and terms -- ready to become a project the moment the client says yes.

FAQ

Questions consulting firms ask

Can Belvak turn a proposal into a project?

Yes. Every proposal moves through Pending, Approved, and Rejected statuses, and once a client agrees you convert it to a project in one click. The scope, pricing, and terms carry over automatically, so nothing is retyped and the agreed contract value stays attached to the engagement.

How does Belvak handle multiple engagements for the same client?

Each client profile holds every proposal, project, invoice, and payment on a single screen. A client with three active projects and two pending proposals shows all of it in one place, along with the full payment history, so you always have the complete picture without stitching systems together.

Does it support milestone and recurring billing for retainers?

Yes. You can raise one-off invoices as each milestone is delivered, and set up recurring invoices for retainer engagements so ongoing work bills on schedule. Invoices are generated from project data with 12 templates and exported to PDF in one click.

Can I invoice international clients in different currencies?

Yes. Belvak supports billing in over 50 currencies, and each invoice keeps its own currency. Advisory firms working with clients across borders can bill each engagement in the currency the client expects.

Is Belvak a fit for a small consulting firm?

Belvak is built for service companies of 5 to 50 people, which covers most boutique strategy and advisory practices. It brings proposals, projects, invoicing, client records, and team management into one platform without the weight of enterprise tooling you would never use.

Does Belvak replace my accounting software?

No. Belvak handles invoicing and billing and tracks the payments you collect against each engagement, but it is not a full general-ledger accounting system. It works alongside your accountant's books, giving you a clear operational view of what has been billed and paid.
