Retainers

How to Run Retainers Without Losing Track of the Account

Retainers are usually simple in principle and messy in practice. The account stays open for months, but the context around it drifts across invoices, calls, and notes.

Built for repeat-client businesses that need booking, payment, and follow-through connected.
