What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team spent Fridays reconciling billable hours across Salesforce, Harvest, and QuickBooks—it was soul-crushing and led to billing disputes. Now, the AI handles it overnight with automated validations, and we've added two new strategy engagements this quarter without overtime. Saved us about 15 hours a week per partner, directly boosting our Q2 revenue by 18%."
Sarah Mitchell
Managing Partner, Apex Strategy Advisors (a boutique management consulting firm specializing in digital transformation)
"Customizing RFPs and SOWs used to take 3-4 days, pulling senior consultants from client strategy sessions. Their workflow AI drafts them in under 4 hours, intelligently pulling from our proprietary case library and tailoring to client sector benchmarks. Win rate jumped 25% in the last six months, and we're not chasing endless integrations anymore—it's all seamless within our existing ecosystem."
David Chen
Senior Strategy Consultant, Horizon Management Group (a global advisory firm focused on operational excellence)
"We were buried in manual reporting for SOX compliance audits and client KPI dashboards, averaging 20 hours per quarterly cycle. AIQ built a custom system that auto-generates them with our internal benchmarks and regulatory templates, cutting prep time to just 4 hours. Our client retention improved to 92% because they now receive real-time, error-free insights that position us as proactive partners."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does AIQ Labs ensure the automation fits our specific consulting niche?
We start with a deep-dive audit of your workflows, whether you're in strategy, operations, or tech consulting. For instance, if your firm specializes in digital transformation, we train the AI on your proprietary methodologies to automate assessment reports without generic templates. This custom approach has helped firms like yours reduce customization time by 70%, ensuring the system amplifies your expertise rather than diluting it. No two consulting practices are alike, so we build iteratively, incorporating your feedback to align perfectly with client-facing needs.
What kind of time savings can a mid-sized consulting firm expect?
Based on our deployments, firms with 20-50 consultants typically reclaim 15-25 hours per week per team member from tasks like manual reporting and data entry. One strategy firm saw their month-end billing cycle drop from five days to under two, freeing capacity for a 20% revenue uptick. We quantify this upfront with your metrics, targeting at least a 3x ROI in the first year through efficiency gains and error reduction—proven across 150+ implementations in professional services.
How secure is the custom AI system for handling client data?
Security is non-negotiable in consulting, where confidentiality drives trust. We use enterprise-grade encryption, SOC 2 compliance, and role-based access controls tailored to your firm's structure—senior partners see full dashboards, juniors get need-to-know views. Our systems undergo third-party audits, and we've built for regulated spaces like financial advisory without breaches. Unlike off-the-shelf tools, your data stays in your owned environment, minimizing risks from third-party vendors that expose 40% of firms to leaks annually.
Can we integrate this with our existing CRM and project management tools?
Absolutely—integration is our core strength. We create robust, two-way APIs connecting to platforms like Salesforce, Monday.com, or Microsoft Project, ensuring real-time syncs for things like client status updates or expense approvals. No more copy-pasting between silos. For a recent client in management consulting, we unified five tools into one workflow, cutting integration errors by 90%. We handle the complexity so your team focuses on delivery, with 99.9% uptime guaranteed.
What's the timeline for building and deploying the AI workflow?
For most consulting firms, we deliver a MVP in 4-6 weeks, followed by full deployment in 8-12 weeks, depending on complexity. This includes discovery (week 1), prototyping (weeks 2-4), testing with your data (weeks 5-6), and phased rollout. A boutique advisory firm went live in seven weeks, automating RFP responses and seeing immediate 18-hour weekly savings. We prioritize quick wins to demonstrate value early, scaling to full coverage without disrupting ongoing client engagements.
Do you provide ongoing support after the initial build?
Yes, our partnership extends beyond launch. We offer 90 days of free optimization, then flexible support packages starting at 10 hours monthly for tweaks like adding new service lines or adapting to regulatory changes. Unlike subscription models that nickel-and-dime, this ensures your system evolves— one firm used our support to integrate AI for ESG reporting amid new mandates, maintaining their 35% efficiency edge. You're owning the asset, but we're here as your technical allies for sustained ROI.
