Built for professional-services firms onlyThe principal writing the proposal and the reference, and nobody else
Write the proposal. Close with the reference. Keep the client behind both.
The reference letter and the professional services proposal written from the engagement's own facts: the months it ran, the work delivered, the strengths and the examples worth naming, the hours, the rate, the phases, the deposit and the contingency, printed as the letter a client's checker reads and the statement of work a client signs. Every document becomes the client record you keep, the engagement it belongs to and the fee that won it.
Sowbird Pro is $79 per month for your whole firm, billed monthly.

The statement of work a client signs, from your scoping
Hours at your rate, the phases, the expenses at cost, the contingency and the deposit on signature, printed as the proposal a client signs, from your own scoping rather than a generic template.
-
The letter a checker reads, from the engagement's facts
The period, the work delivered, the strengths with an example each and the results with a number, sized and structured on the page from what you actually know, so the letter says something and is the right length.
-
A record behind every document
Proposals file themselves against the client and the engagement. Signatures and declines are recorded against the fee. Letters are kept with who they went to. Everything exports.
Why not just use a full practice suite?
Need a suite with timesheets, resourcing, billing runs and a per-user licence? Buy one. Need this week's proposal priced right, sent under your name and kept with the client, and the reference written properly when the engagement ends, for one firm? That is the product.
