About ConsultBase
ConsultBase provides branded client portals, automated invoicing, and Ivy, an AI assistant with over fifty integrated tools for proposals, scheduling, time tracking, and reporting. The platform consolidates proposals, engagements, invoices, and client communications into a single interface, replacing multiple third-party services. Clients access a dedicated portal at a custom subdomain with the consultant’s branding, while consultants manage all operations from a mobile-first dashboard. Ivy handles routine tasks such as drafting proposals, booking meetings, and sending reminders, with each action previewed before execution. The system supports milestone tracking, direct client bookings with Zoom integration, and real-time progress visibility for engagements. Invoicing flows from tracked time to payment via Stripe Connect, and recurring invoices or late-payment reminders run automatically. The platform is designed for consultants across sectors including management, government contracting, financial advisory, and healthcare.
