For New Zealand consultants and professional services firms

AI for consultants and professional services in New Zealand

Professional services sell time, which makes non-billable hours the enemy — and proposal writing is the largest non-billable line in most firms. A serious proposal takes half a day, most don't land, and the ones that go quiet rarely get a second contact because everyone's busy on delivery.

Leads that go quiet and never get a second touch
Client reporting assembled manually every month
Delivery work always beating business development

Why this is worth fixing

The other drain is client reporting: assembling what happened this month into something presentable. It's genuinely valuable to the client and almost entirely mechanical to produce. That combination — valuable output, mechanical assembly — is the clearest case for automation there is.

What we'd build for consultants and professional services firms

A starting blueprint for your consultancy, assembled from the workflows that fit this trade. It isn't a fixed package — we shape it around how you actually work — but this is the shape it usually takes.

Client document intake

Clients are guided to send exactly the right documents, and the AI extracts and organises the data.

Now: endless email back-and-forth
With AI: clean data, first time

Lead qualification & routing

Enquiries are qualified, priced-ballparked and routed so you only spend time on the ones worth having.

Now: chasing tyre-kickers
With AI: only real leads reach you

Listing & content drafting

Turn a few bullet points into polished listings, posts or proposals in your own voice.

Now: an hour staring at a blank page
With AI: a first draft in 30 seconds

Instant quote drafting

Snap photos or dictate notes on site and get a priced, on-brand quote back in minutes.

Now: ~40 min per quote, done at night
With AI: ~5 min, done on site

These are indicative figures, computed from typical hours for each workflow at the team size and charge-out rate shown — not a promise, and not measured from your business. Change the inputs on the blueprint builder to model your own numbers.

Proof, not a pitch deck

We didn't just write about this — we built it

Quarvois our own platform, running a real New Zealand business every day: quoting, scheduling, invoicing, bank reconciliation and a full set of accounts, with an AI manager called Torq sitting across the whole thing. It runs on our own GPU hardware in New Zealand — so the data never leaves the country, and there's no per-token bill to a US API.

That's the difference between a consultancy that talks about AI and one that ships it. Everything on this page is something we've actually had to make work in production.

AI for consultants and professional services firms — common questions

Can it write proposals that don't sound generic?

It drafts from your own past proposals, your methodology and your pricing — so it sounds like your firm, because it's built from your firm's material. You're editing and sharpening a solid draft rather than staring at a blank document at 9pm.

What does it do about leads going cold?

Sequenced, personal follow-up that keeps going after the point where a busy firm gives up — which is usually contact one. It also qualifies inbound so you spend your time on the enquiries worth having a conversation about.

Can it handle our client reporting?

Monthly and quarterly reports assembled from the actual work and delivered in your format. This tends to be the clearest ROI in a professional services firm because the hours are large, regular, and entirely non-billable.
