Software for Small professional service businesses

Client engagements with scope, delivery and billing connected.

AxiomBlue helps consultants and small service teams turn client enquiries into scoped quotes, recorded work and invoices. Professional project phases and tasks organise delivery, while variations record approval for additional deliverables. Review time and the agreed billing method before invoicing the engagement.

Before you price the next contract

Is each engagement actually making money?

Salaries are most of a consultancy’s cost, and fixed fees that overrun, extra deliverables, unrecorded calls and write-offs never reach the invoice. See a worked month, the ATO and ABS figures and the weekly check that catches a leaking engagement early.

Worked examples are illustrative. Applicable ATO expense benchmarks compare costs with turnover; they do not determine profit or owner pay.
