revenue trend at a glance
No single view of monthly revenue, outstanding invoices, and expense reimbursements — it's spread across QuickBooks, email, and a spreadsheet
Retainer clients billed at end of month instead of in advance — so you're always 30 days behind
Expense reimbursements that get lost in email or invoiced late because tracking is manual
Statements of work that are long enough to protect you but not streamlined enough to send quickly
kinako fixes all of this. One tool, one login.
Everything consultants need to run a professional business.
Set up monthly retainer invoices that auto-generate on the 1st and are due by the 7th — before you begin that month's work. Clients are on subscription terms, not Net 30.
Log travel, accommodation, tools, and any other approved project expenses by client. Send itemized expense invoices that clearly separate your fee from pass-through costs.
Monthly revenue, outstanding invoices, and billed hours by client — in one view. Know exactly which clients are your most valuable and where your time is actually going.
Build a consulting agreement with scope of work, payment terms, confidentiality, and non-solicitation — then send it via link before the first engagement call.
Share reports, roadmaps, and strategy documents through a client portal — not a Google Drive link that expires. Clients log in and see everything in one place.
Present three engagement levels — advisory, implementation, and retainer — with clear pricing for each. Most clients choose the middle option when they see the comparison.
“The client portal alone is worth it. My clients stopped asking 'where are we on this?' — they just log in and see.”
