The invoice comes from the agreement.
Budget, rates by role, discounts, shares taken as payment. Computed, not typed, so it matches what the client signed.
An hour that would push a client over budget waits for your decision. Before the invoice, not after.
Built by a security firm to run its own books.

The hour that would push a client over budget is saved, marked, and waits for your yes or no. Nothing is billed quietly. Nothing disappears.
1.5 h · Acme Co · Board deck
Over the 40 h budget. Waiting for Dana.
On the September invoice, at the agreed rate.
Budget, rates by role, discounts, shares taken as payment. Computed, not typed, so it matches what the client signed.
Revenue, cost and margin for every client, every day. Visible to owners and to whoever they name.
The invoice, the contractor's payout and the commission come from the same entries. No second sheet to reconcile.
Equity taken as payment shows on the invoice and in the record, at the value you agreed.
A closed month does not change. Every edit before it sits on a trail nobody can rewrite.
A Slack reminder each workday with the hours left per client. No timers, no screenshots. Everyone sees their own hours.
A retainer is a flat fee sized in hours only you know. Ceed keeps that number, so scope creep shows up as a held hour, not as a thinner month.
Every hour your team works counts. The only question is who pays for it, and that one is yours.

Invoice $200,000. Pay $200. A month you invoice nothing costs nothing. No seats, no tiers, no minimum.
Fractional CFO, CISO, CMO and CTO practices. Security and engineering boutiques. Consultancies and agencies up to fifty people. From the day a second person logs an hour to your client.
Your CRM, project tool, chat and payroll stay where they are. Ceed is the record they all work from.
Ceed runs the money side of a consulting firm: the hours the team logs, each client's budget, the invoices, what contractors are owed, and the month close. If an hour would push a client over budget, Ceed holds it for approval the moment it is logged. 0.1% of what you invoice.
Ceed replaces the timesheet spreadsheet, the retainer math, the invoice typed by hand and the month-end reconciliation. Your accounting ledger, your project tool, your chat and your payroll stay where they are.
A blocked hour is refused, so the work disappears from the record. A held hour is saved, marked, and waits for the account leader or an owner to decide. The record stays true and the budget still holds.
Only what the agreement puts on the invoice. A flat retainer invoices as a flat retainer. The hours behind it, and the budget you sized it with, are yours to see.
No. Ceed watches each client's budget, not the person. One Slack reminder a day, no timers, no screenshots. Everyone sees their own hours.
Because the fee should rise and fall with your firm. A month you invoice nothing costs nothing, and adding a person costs nothing. The rate never moves.
Not yet. Invoices and statements come out of Ceed as documents for the ledger you already use. A QuickBooks and Xero sync is planned.
No. Ceed is the record. Your bank moves the money and your payroll provider pays your people. Collecting invoices and paying contractors through your own rails is planned.
No model, no assistant. Every number is computed from a rule and the record, the same way every time. A model may one day read a contract and propose terms. A person confirms them, and it never writes an invoice.
Most of it, in a weekend. Not the rule that holds an hour the moment it is logged, not who may see rates and margin enforced on the server, not the month that cannot be rewritten, and not a vendor who answers for the invoice.
The invoices, the statements and the margin for that month are frozen as a record, and nothing in it changes after. Every edit before the close sits on a trail nobody can rewrite.
Ceed is selecting the firms it starts with. Members sign in with their work Google account. Everyone else writes one note to hello@ceed.so and says how Ceed would help. A person replies.
