Three ways consultants use it

1. Keep every lead and referral moving.

Track each lead and client by stage, with a follow-up date on every open lead.

  • Log a touch and open a prep sheet before each call (Premium)
  • What you owe each client, and what they owe you
  • A Consultant template, from Lead to Renewal
More

Track each lead and client by stage, with a follow-up date on every open lead, so no warm introduction goes cold. Log a touch and open a prep sheet before each call (Premium). Record what you owe each client and what they owe you. Enter hours and meetings a year to see what the work pays per hour.

Each client moves through Lead, Proposal, Signed, Active and Renewal, with your fee, hours and renewal date. Mark a proposal Sent and the client moves to Proposal. Mark it Accepted and it moves to Signed. Tap Clients only to see just your client work.

2. Turn a yes into paperwork from your phone.

Build a proposal from your saved packages, then a contract from a template and invoices from the proposal.

  • Share the contract PDF to your own e-sign app
  • Deposit and balance invoices with your own payment link
  • Tax per line, and a currency per client
More
  • Proposals built in a tap from your saved packages and saved items, with line items, a deposit and a valid until date. Share or email the PDF, and mark it Accepted to move the client on.
  • Contracts and statements of work from a template, with the client, dates and fee filled in. Share the PDF to your own e-sign app, then share the signed copy back to the client's files. Templates are a starting point, not legal advice.
  • A deposit invoice from an accepted proposal, then a balance invoice that takes the deposit off. Your default payment link from your own payment provider goes on each new invoice, and you can change it per invoice. Principal Seat does not process payments or take a fee. Mark invoices paid yourself.
  • Each line has a Taxable switch, on by default, and tax is added only on Taxable lines. The tax label follows your country, such as Sales tax, VAT or GST, or you can type your own. With your VAT number and the client's set, a business client in another EU country gets a reverse charge note.
  • Set a business currency, and a different one for any client who pays in another. Amounts are never converted.
  • Open Business from Settings or from your Clients card, even before your first client: your details, booking and questionnaire links, invoice numbering, tax and currency.

3. Never miss a renewal, a payment or an hour.

Set a reminder weeks or months ahead of each retainer renewal or term end.

  • Log hours on each client and bill them as invoice lines
  • Mark what is billable
  • Today shows overdue invoices as a count only
More

Set a reminder weeks or months ahead of each retainer renewal or term end. Log hours on each client, mark what is billable, and bill those hours as invoice lines. Today shows how many invoices are overdue, as a count only.

Your AI assistant helps with the words. Send it your client list with fees left out, ask it to write up the work or a follow-up, then add the prices yourself. You read every draft and send it yourself.

A month with Principal Seat (fictional example)

Riley Brennan was a Chief Marketing Officer and now runs an independent practice.

  1. Monday: an AI assistant drafts a follow-up to the quiet Ardley Vale Clinics lead.
  2. Wednesday: Ardley Vale Clinics says yes. The assistant drafts the scope, with no prices.
  3. The paperwork: proposal, contract and deposit invoice, with prices added behind Face ID or Touch ID.
  4. Payment day: the reminder never shows the amount. The client pays through the link.
  5. Renewal season: the hours log shows the extra hours for the Quenwick Outfitters talk.
  6. What never went out: the fees, for every AI send.
  7. At home and with family: a kitchen remodel with quotes side by side, and Caregiving for Aunt Odile.
Read Riley's full story

Riley Brennan was a Chief Marketing Officer and now runs an independent practice. Riley has one active client, Quenwick Outfitters, on a monthly advisory retainer that renews February 1, 2027, and one lead, Ardley Vale Clinics.

  • Monday. Riley sends the latest file to an AI assistant. The Ardley Vale Clinics lead has had no reply for a week. Riley asks for a short follow-up, edits it and sends it from Mail.
  • Wednesday. Ardley Vale Clinics says yes to a 6 week pricing review. Riley asks the assistant to draft the scope, with no prices.
  • The paperwork. Riley builds a proposal from the "Pricing review, 6 weeks" package, pastes in the scope, adds the prices behind Face ID or Touch ID, emails the PDF and marks it Sent. The client moves to Proposal. Ardley Vale Clinics pays in Canadian dollars, so Riley sets CAD on that client while the business currency stays USD. When the client accepts, Riley marks the proposal Accepted and the client moves to Signed. Riley starts the contract from a template, sends it to an e-sign app, then makes the deposit invoice, which already has Riley's default payment link.
  • Payment day. The payment due reminder arrives. Show names on Lock Screen is off, so the lock screen shows only generic text and the time, never the amount. The client pays through the link, and Riley marks the invoice paid. At the end of the review, the balance invoice takes the deposit off. When it goes past due, Today shows "1 invoice overdue", and Riley sends the client a reminder.
  • Renewal season. The renewal reminder for Quenwick Outfitters arrives when Riley set it. Riley's hours log shows the hours against the monthly plan, and Riley raises the extra hours at the renewal talk.
  • What never went out. The fees, because Include pay, rates and prices stayed off for every AI send.
  • At home and with family. Household holds a kitchen remodel with quotes side by side. Caregiving holds the search for home help for Aunt Odile. Not for medical records.

More on privacy
  • Your data stays on your devices and in your own iCloud account. We do not receive it.
  • Fees go only when you say so. Pay is sent to your AI assistant or an export only when you turn on Include pay, rates and prices for that send. The same rule for proposal and invoice amounts.
  • Typed text goes as written. Keep amounts in the fee fields, not in notes, so the pay switch covers them.
  • Contact details are off by default. When you send to your AI assistant or share a snapshot, client email, phone, LinkedIn and website go only if you turn on Include contact details. Names and roles are always included. Postal addresses are never sent.
  • Amounts stay off your lock screen. Every notice follows Show names on Lock Screen. Payment due reminders never show the amount.
  • Your export, your choice. Export my data includes a Business folder with your proposals, invoices and contracts. Amounts and payment links go in only with Include pay, rates and prices on, client names only with Include names on, and contract text only with both on.
