Click Get started to open PM + CRM for Consulting. Use Proto to set up the consulting organization, users and team members who will own, deliver and review engagements. Agree on a client-code convention before importing client records.

Prepare the first operating cycle

Choose one current client and one engagement with an agreed fee, due date and owner. Record the client as counterparty and the consulting firm as organization. Add a proposal for a genuine scope change, ask an independent reviewer to decide on the current revision, and record dated service time against the parent engagement. Check approved hours with Billing Lead.

Review before release

Confirm that the engagement owner, client and consulting organization are distinct and correct. Read the review reason and source revision. Check which attachments are internal or shared. Match any invoice reference to the finance process and inspect open operation exceptions. Then rehearse acceptance with the person who will make that decision in daily work. See implementation for the full sequence.
