Problems

The problems consultants keep facing

Busy offices still lose money in the same places. Tockly is built around these, not around filling in a timesheet.

01

I can't find the financial leak.

I cannot see which jobs are making money and which are quietly losing it.

Solution

Track each project's cost against its own fees.

Project financial health

02

Halfway through a project, we've run out of fees.

The job is still going, the budget is gone, and other projects end up paying for this.

Solution

Track project costs early, phase by phase, while there is still time to act.

Project financial health

03

Can I afford to hire new staff?

The office is busy, but it's not clear whether a project can carry more people — or at what level.

Solution

Set your budget (fees) and work backwards to see what team size you can afford.

04

I do timesheets, but it doesn't give me useful info.

Hours get filled in on Excel, then sit unused until the overspend has already happened.

Solution

Log time live, so the hours feed the cost picture in real time instead of sitting in a spreadsheet.

Timesheets

05

2%, 2.5%, 3%, 4% — what is the right fee?

The percentage looks fair, but I can't see whether it will make sustainable profit.

Solution

Test your proposed fee with a predictive fee analysis and see whether it still leaves you a profit.

Timesheets, project financial health, and predictive fee analysis — so cost control is not a report you run six months late.

Timesheets

Hours that feed back in real time

Log time so the numbers inform live decision making. Not a spreadsheet that sits unused until the overspend has already happened.

Project financial health

Each job against its own fees

Track cost phase by phase, while you can still change course. See whether a project is paying for itself — or leaning on the rest of the office.

Predictive fee analysis

Set the fee. Work backwards.

Test a proposed fee before you say yes. Check whether the job can carry the team, at what level, and still leave a sustainable profit.

Story

Developed by an architect who had the same problems

Without the right data, he could not see which jobs were leaking — or what to do about it. So he built Tockly.

Tockly's mission is to equip consultants with the tools to understand and manage their costs, to achieve sustainable profitability.

Cost control is the profit lever

A small change in cost does not move profit by the same amount. It moves it by much more.

Scenario 1

80%cost20%profit

Let's say a typical job is 80% cost, 20% profit.

Testimonial

I put in my proposed fee of 2.3% on a recent project tender; the client counter proposed to 1.8%. Tockly's analysis showed I couldn't go any lower — it wouldn't make financial sense. So I held firm. A month later, the client came back happy to work at my original fee! If I hadn't used Tockly to give me that assurance through worked-out analyses, I would never have had the confidence to stick to my original fee.
Tockly literally saved me hundreds of thousands and years of regret.
