Time Tracking for Consultants
Who Bill by the Hour
You sell your expertise by the hour. If a call, email thread, or quick fix never makes it into your timesheet, it never makes it onto the invoice.
The leak in your consulting business
You're a consultant. You bill $150, $200, $350 an hour. You're rigorous about your craft but sloppy about tracking. Monday you had three client calls, a two-hour deep work session, and an hour of email. But when you sit down Friday to log the week, you remember the deep work and maybe two of the calls. The rest evaporates.
At $200 an hour, every forgotten half-hour call is $100 you never bill. Real-time tracking means the invoice matches the work.
Five reasons consultants pick Miru
Built by a consulting company for consulting companies.
Capture every billable minute
The 15-minute call that ran to 40 minutes. The email thread you spent an hour on. The research that didn't feel like 'real work.' Track it all in real time and stop giving away your most expensive resource for free.
Invoice directly from time entries
Select the client, pick a date range, review the line items, and send. Your time entries become the invoice. No re-typing. No cross-referencing your calendar with a spreadsheet. Two minutes, done.
Multiple clients, one dashboard
Switch between clients without switching tools. Every project has its own rate, its own time entries, its own invoices. Filter by client, project, or date range. See your entire practice at a glance.
CLI for developer-consultants
If your consulting involves code, log time from your terminal. One command. Pipe it into git hooks, automate it with scripts. No context switching to a browser tab.
Stripe payments on every invoice
Clients click a link and pay. No wire transfers. No 'check is in the mail.' Average time-to-payment drops from weeks to days. Your cash flow becomes predictable.
The math on Miru for consultants
Solo consultant
$1/month — $12 a year. All features included.
Time tracking, invoicing, Stripe payments, expenses, CLI, API.
Small consulting firm (5-20 people)
$5–$20/month total — a dollar a person.
Compare: Harvest would cost $54-$216/month for the same team.
The ROI calculation
If Miru helps you capture just one extra billable hour per week at $200/hour, that's $10,400/year in recovered revenue. Against a cost of $12-$240/year. That's a 43x return. Conservatively.
Built by consultants, for consultants
Miru is made by Saeloun, a Ruby on Rails and React consulting company based in Pune, India. We use Miru every day to track time for our own client projects. When something is painful in the product, we feel it before any customer reports it. The invoicing workflow, the team dashboard, the CLI — all of it was born from real consulting work, not a product manager's spec doc.
Stop losing billable hours.
$1 per person per month, solo or team. Every feature included.
