Stopwatch Time Tracking for Consultants

Published {$created} by Carsten Blum

Many consulting practices operate on a project-based model. The challenge? Accurate time tracking often feels like an overwhelming afterthought. Before implementing stopwatch time tracking, consultants frequently resort to unreliable methods: mental estimates, scattered notes, or a frantic scramble at month-end. This results in inaccurate billing, lost revenue, and a general feeling of being out of control of time. These imprecise methods lead to client disputes, difficulty in forecasting project costs, and ultimately, a negative impact on profitability. It’s also a significant stressor, as consultants feel pressured to “guess” their time.
