Proposal software for education consulting firms

For consultancies that advise school districts, colleges and universities: proposals for strategic planning, accreditation support, enrollment and program reviews, priced in the formats public procurement expects and approved before they go out.

Who this is for

  • Education strategy and planning consultancies
  • Accreditation, assessment and program review specialists
  • Enrollment, marketing and student success advisory firms
  • Education technology advisory and implementation partners

How these firms price work

Education clients often buy in fixed-fee phases with deliverables tied to board or academic calendars, with day rates for workshops and facilitation and an hourly range for follow-on support. Public procurement also expects a clear fee schedule. Feebeaver computes the table from your fee structures and lays it out the same way every time.

Example education consulting fee table (sample figures)

Sample figures. In Feebeaver each row is computed from a fee structure in your library, so the basis, rates and caps are set once by a principal and applied on every proposal.

From scoping call to accepted fee

  1. Set up fee structures

    Phase fees, day rates and hourly ranges are fee structures in the library, organized by service.

  2. Build the proposal

    Pick the district or institution as customer, start from the template and add the fee rows.

  3. Internal approval

    Route to a partner before sending. The approval is recorded.

  4. Send and accept

    The client accepts online and downloads a PDF that matches the screen. The acceptance certificate records the version.

Compared with general proposal tools

PandaDoc lists education as an industry, aimed at institutions' own enrollment and HR paperwork. Feebeaver is for the consulting firms that sell to those institutions and need a fee schedule a procurement office can read.

  • Fee logic built for services pricing, not a quantity times price table
  • Approval rules on every plan; approvers never need a paid seat
  • Editor, client view and PDF share one render path
  • No send limits on either plan

Pricing for education consulting

Professional is $29 and Firm is $49 per creator per month billed annually. Approvers are free, so partners and principals who review proposals do not need a seat. Approval rules are included on both plans. 14-day free trial, no card.
