  • Create client invoices based on the terms of the retainer agreement
  • Track project and task progress per client

Notes

Professional services sector — VAT not included in price (B2B). Accounting firms typically work with fixed monthly retainer fees per client, billed monthly. The time_control module allows recording actual hours to identify clients consuming more resources than expected. The tax module is essential for managing the firm's own tax obligations.
