When you are the whole business.
Consultants, freelancers, solo lawyers, solo therapists, indie designers, fractional executives. You're every department — sales, delivery, ops, finance, support. GearHead picks up the parts that don't need to be you.
Why GearHead for Self-Employed Professionals
The math for solo practitioners is brutal — billable hours minus everything else. Here's how GearHead changes that math.
Reclaim the non-billable hours
Email triage, follow-up drafts, scheduling, invoicing, expense tracking, client recap notes. The work that fills your day but doesn't pay your rent. GearHead handles most of it.
A second brain for client context
Every client, every project, every decision — remembered. When a client emails you about something from 18 months ago, GearHead recalls the project, the work, your invoice, and what you decided. No scrolling through email.
Someone to think with
Working alone is hard partly because there's no one to brainstorm with. GearHead knows your work well enough to be a real sounding board — pulling parallels across projects, catching contradictions, asking the questions a smart colleague would ask.

Inbox triaged
GearHead has already sorted overnight email by urgency, drafted responses for the easy ones, and pulled the three things that actually need you. You handle the brief and move on.
Client call
You hop on a call. GearHead transcribes, summarizes, and pulls action items into your task list. By the time the call ends, your follow-up email is drafted and waiting.
Deep work
You're heads-down on a deliverable. GearHead is quietly intercepting calls (phone agent), routing leads (capture + CRM sync), and filing receipts (expense tracking). You don't look up.
Proposal time
You need to draft a proposal for a new client. GearHead remembers what you charged similar clients, what scope worked, what didn't. Starts you at 70% draft instead of zero.
Weekly invoicing
A routine you set up runs: pulls billable hours from time tracking, generates invoices in QuickBooks, and queues them for your one-click send.
Done at six
You actually close your laptop at six. GearHead surfaces the three things to check first thing tomorrow. Tomorrow-you will thank past-you.
