Async retainer reviews · for agencies

Get your Mondays back.

Stop scheduling the monthly retainer review meeting.

Retainer Ledger replaces the multi-hour leadership review with an asynchronous workflow. Each reviewer takes the accounts that need them, on their own time. Routine accounts get bulk-approved — only the exceptions get a human. You meet only when the data says so.

Why the review breaks

Retainers don't lose money in the data. They lose it on the calendar.

Every agency past ten people runs a monthly retainer review — CEO, finance, account directors and AEs in one room. The data work is the easy part. Getting four senior people onto the same calendar every 30 days is the part that quietly costs you margin.

The meeting won't schedule

Four senior calendars, every 30 days. Reschedules — then reschedules of the reschedules.

It runs out of clock

The meeting runs long and never gets through every account. Next month tries to do two.

The middle gets missed

Obvious-fine gets skipped, on-fire gets the air, and the quietly-compounding accounts get missed every time.

Or it's skipped entirely

The schedule gets tight, the review is cancelled — and a margin problem hides for 60 days.

The fixMake the review asynchronous — triage every account, route it to the right reviewer, bulk-approve the routine ones, and meet only when the data says so.
How RetainerLedger works

The retainer lifecycle, end to end

Every feature plugs into one continuous loop — from the first logged hour to the renewal conversation. RetainerLedger automates the hand-offs between each stage.

1
Log time
The team logs hours in seconds against each retainer.
2
Track live
Hours, margin & status update across the portfolio in real time.
3
Lock the month
A frozen snapshot is taken and the review queue is built.
4
Review async
Reviewers clear Critical → Watch → Routine on their own time.
5
Report to client
A branded report auto-generates and ships to the portal.
6
Renew
AI recommends new terms before the contract ends.
Why it mattersOne system covers the whole retainer — no spreadsheets, no status meetings, and no renewals that sneak up on you.

Scenario modeling

Model the renewal before the conversation

A “what-if” sandbox. Move the levers — hours, rate, role mix — see the annual impact side by side, and turn the winning option into a renewal proposal.

“+5 hours and a 5% rate adds $15K profit at 50% margin.”
Client reports & portal

Professional client reports in seconds

No more hand-built monthly decks. When a month locks, a branded report writes itself — in your brand — and reaches the client through a secure portal or a link.

  • “This month at a glance” narrative, written for you
  • Fully white-labeled — RetainerLedger stays invisible
  • Download a PDF, send by email, or share a portal link

Everything in one ledger

Ten features, one continuous loop

Quick time entry

Log time in under 30 seconds. Every entry re-prices the retainer instantly, so margin is never a surprise.

Async monthly review

Replace the 3-hour status meeting. A prioritized queue so reviewers spend attention only where it's needed.

Forecast & margin alerts

Catch margin erosion before it happens. Get warned the moment an account trends toward the red line.

Rate card & overrides

Bill rates and internal cost per role. Per-client overrides are effective-dated; every entry snapshots its rate.

AI auto-renewal engine

Never let a renewal sneak up. A 90-day trigger builds a data-backed recommendation while there's still time to act.

White-label branding

Set your identity once. Reports, the client portal and outbound emails all inherit your brand — not ours.
