The Problem

Sound familiar?

Your client portal is... a Google Drive link

You charge premium rates but deliver files through shared folders. It works, but it doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

Invoices, updates, and files scattered everywhere

Stripe for payments. Gmail for updates. Dropbox for files. Your client has to check three places to find one deliverable.

You're spending more time on admin than actual consulting

Chasing payments, scheduling calls, tracking milestones — the operational overhead of running a practice eats into billable hours.

You look solo. Your competitors look like firms.

Larger firms have dedicated engagement managers and client portals. You have talent and expertise — but your client experience doesn't show it.

Features

One platform. Every tool you actually need.

Stop paying for Google Drive + Calendly + Stripe + Notion + Toggl + DocuSign. ConsultBase replaces them all — one bill, one login for your clients.

Your brand. Your portal.

Every client gets a dedicated portal at myconsultbase.com/yourfirm with your logo, your colors, and your name. Pro and Firm remove all ConsultBase branding — including outbound emails.

$

From proposal to payment in one flow

Send branded proposals with e-signatures. Convert accepted proposals into invoices automatically. Get paid through Stripe Connect — direct to your bank, no markup over standard rates.

Meet Ivy — your AI associate, not a chatbot

50+ real tools across proposals, invoices, scheduling, time tracking and reporting. Ivy drafts proposals, books clients, marks invoices paid, and delivers a briefing every morning — every write tool gated by a confirm preview. Pro and Firm tiers.

Run your practice from your phone

Premium mobile UX with Ivy at the center. Sign proposals between meetings, log time on the way home, message clients without opening your laptop. Designed for mobile — not shoehorned in.

Know where every hour goes

Track time by client and engagement. Convert tracked hours into invoices with one click. See profitability per client in your reports.

Automation built in. No workflow editor to configure.

Recurring invoices, late-payment reminders, daily briefings, booking confirmations — they just run. ConsultBase handles the operational background so you focus on the client work.

What makes Ivy different

Most consulting tools have a chatbot. ConsultBase has an AI associate.

50+ tools across 13 areas of your practice. Competitors ship 4–6 AI features and call it innovation. Ivy was built to work alongside you — not chat at you.

Live preview

Watch Ivy work

Pick a prompt — see the exact tool Ivy reaches for, the confirm preview, and the outcome. No setup, no signup.

Never a destructive surprise

Every write tool — sending an invoice, marking it paid, scheduling a meeting, creating a client — runs a two-step confirm flow. Ivy shows you the exact payload first. You click Confirm. Then it happens.

Knows what page you're on

Open Sarah's client page and ask Ivy “remind her about the proposal” — she knows you mean this Sarah. Page context flows into every prompt, so “this,” “here,” and “that” resolve the way you mean them.

Built by consultants, for consultants.

ConsultBase was built alongside the independent consultants we work with every day. Every feature exists because a real consultant said “I keep running into this problem” — and we'd watched them lose hours fighting tools that weren't built for them. We weren't trying to build a HoneyBook clone or a Dubsado alternative. We were fixing the specific friction that makes solo consultants feel like a side hustle instead of a firm.
