LaunchBayClient Portal Software for Consultants

Everything consulting firms need to run engagements without burning billable hours.

Loginless client access

Clients click a magic link from any notification and land directly in their portal. No new account, no password, no app to download. The senior leaders you're advising will actually log in, complete tasks, and approve work, instead of replying "can you just send it over email?"

Branded client portals

Add your logo, brand colors, custom domain, favicon, and header image. Remove every trace of LaunchBay branding so the portal looks and feels like a natural extension of your firm. The client experience matches the polish of the work you deliver.

Every engagement's health at a glance

See the status of every client engagement in one dashboard, with health scores that flag stalled and at-risk work before a partner has to ask. You never have to open each project to know where it stands.

Milestone & retainer billing

Send invoices tied to engagement milestones, monthly retainers, or completed deliverables and collect payment in the same portal where the work lives. No separate billing tool, no chasing finance teams, no awkward "just following up on that invoice" emails.

Strategy sign-off

Share strategy decks, findings reports, financial models, and recommendations inside the portal. Clients annotate, leave feedback, and sign off. Every approval is timestamped, so when a stakeholder asks "who approved this?" the answer is one click away.

Embedded eSignatures

Send engagement letters, statements of work, NDAs, and amendments through the portal and collect signatures without DocuSign. Every signed document stays organized in one searchable place, so when a client asks for a copy six months later, you find it in seconds.

Your team spends less time on status updates and more time on delivery.

LaunchBay scores every engagement and flags what's stalled or behind, giving you full visibility across all of them at once.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a client portal for consultants and how does LaunchBay work?
A client portal is a branded, shared workspace where clients complete onboarding tasks, sign engagement letters and NDAs, upload documents, approve deliverables, pay invoices, and message your team. In LaunchBay, portals are loginless by default, so the executives and stakeholders you're working with click a magic link and land directly in their workspace, with no account creation. Each portal includes built-in pages for tasks, files, invoices, messages, and progress, plus custom pages your firm can build per engagement phase or service line.
How does LaunchBay help consulting firms reduce time spent on client admin?
Most consulting firms lose hours every week to non-billable client admin: chasing intake forms, scheduling stakeholder interviews, reminding clients about signed agreements, tracking deliverable approvals, and following up on invoices. LaunchBay replaces that manual work with a single portal where client tasks, documents, contracts, approvals, and billing live together, with automated reminders built in. Firms typically reclaim 10 to 15+ hours of partner and senior consultant time every week, which goes straight back into billable work.
Can my firm white-label the client portal to match our brand?
Yes. All plans include branding customization: your logo, brand colors, and firm name across portals and email notifications. On the Premium plan you can set a custom portal domain, use a custom sending email address, upload a favicon and header image, and remove every trace of LaunchBay branding. Your clients experience your firm's brand and the professionalism that comes with it, not a third-party tool.
Does LaunchBay support different engagement types (project, retainer, advisory)?
Yes. LaunchBay supports unlimited project templates, so you can build a distinct workflow for each type of engagement. A fixed-fee strategy project can automatically get a different portal structure than a monthly retainer client or an ongoing advisory relationship. Each template can include its own tasks, custom pages, embedded tools, and automated reminders, so your firm's process stays consistent without forcing every client into the same mold.
Does LaunchBay support milestone-based invoicing for consulting work?
Yes. LaunchBay's invoicing is built for the way consulting firms bill: by milestone, by retainer, or by completed deliverable. You can trigger invoices when a client approves a deliverable or completes a project phase, send recurring retainer invoices on a schedule, and collect payment through Stripe inside the same portal where the work lives. Automated reminders reduce late payments, and every invoice is tied to the engagement it belongs to.
How does LaunchBay compare to other client portal tools for consultants?
Most client portal tools are file-sharing apps with a messaging tab. LaunchBay is a full client collaboration platform: tasks, contracts, NDAs, milestone-based invoicing, deliverable approvals, and client communication, all inside one branded portal your clients actually log into. For consulting firms running engagements at scale, that translates to fewer tools, less admin overhead, more billable time, and a client experience that reinforces the premium nature of your work.
Why do consulting firms use a client portal instead of email and shared drives?
Consulting firms move to client portals because email and shared drives weren't built for the way engagements actually run. Important documents get buried in threads, version control becomes a guessing game, and senior stakeholders waste billable hours hunting for the latest deck, signed SOW, or open invoice. A client portal centralizes every engagement artifact (signed agreements, deliverables, approvals, invoices, status updates, and messages) in one branded workspace your clients reach through a single magic link. For consulting firms, this means faster project velocity, fewer status-update emails, cleaner audit trails on every approval, and a client experience that reinforces the premium positioning of your work.
