Customer story
How Lara Mann made her small consultancy look like a proper firm with Kiaro
Lara runs Lara Mann Consulting. She uses Kiaro to track her time, turn her hours into invoices, send proposals and follow up on overdue invoices, all from one place.
“The time tracking is easy and turning my hours into an invoice really is just a click of a button. One of my favourite features is the automatic follow-ups on overdue invoices. It takes the awkward chasing off my plate and means I can focus on my clients instead.”
A small consultancy with a lot of admin
Lara would rather spend her time on clients. Running a consultancy still means tracking hours, writing proposals, sending invoices and chasing the ones that go overdue. Spreading that across separate tools cost her time every week, and it took up headspace too.
She also wanted her paperwork to look the part, so clients would see a proper firm.
Hours in, invoice out
Lara tracks her time in Kiaro, then turns those hours into an invoice with one click. Her invoices and proposals come out looking polished, which helps a small consultancy come across like an established one.
“My invoices and proposals look polished and professional, so my small consultancy comes across like a proper firm.”
No more awkward chasing
Kiaro sends follow-ups on overdue invoices automatically. It's one of Lara's favourite features, because she no longer has to write those awkward reminders herself.
A real person on the other end
When Lara needs help, she deals with Collen, Kiaro's founder. He took the time to learn how she works, and he replies to her messages promptly.
“I love working with Collen as he takes the time to understand how you work and promptly attends to all communication. It's good to know that there's a caring human offering support should you need it.”
All her admin in one place
Everything sits in Kiaro now, so Lara doesn't switch between tools. That saves her time and headspace every week, and she puts it back into her clients.
“I like having all my admin in one place. I don't need to keep switching between tools, which saves me time and headspace every week. If you run a small business and want to look the part, I highly recommend Kiaro.”
