Aren't consultants more thorough?

Good consultants are thorough — but they're also expensive, in demand, and rarely available the week your report is due. Quittal applies the same checklists and funder knowledge to every grant report, every time.

Can I still bring my consultant in?

Absolutely. Quittal makes their job faster and cheaper — they review your draft instead of building it from scratch.

How does Quittal know what funders want?

Quittal reads your funding agreement and learns from a library of anonymised, real-world grant reports across federal, state, council and philanthropic funders.

What's the typical cost difference?

Consultant engagements for a single grant report commonly land between $1,500 and $5,000. Quittal is a small fraction of that cost.

When the consultant leaves, the institutional knowledge stays in Quittal.

Predictable economics

Same rigour, every grant

Smaller grants get the same quality treatment as your flagship ones.

Your data, your control

Funding agreements and receipts stay in your account — not in a consultant's Dropbox.

Built-in funder knowledge

Quittal applies patterns learned from successful grant reports across hundreds of funders.

No knowledge loss

The consultant's checklist becomes your in-app checklist — permanently.

Every grant treated equally

Smaller grants no longer get the 'we'll just wing it' treatment.

Defensible audit trail

Every change, approval and export is logged — easier evidence than a consultant's working file.

Customer scenarios

Composite stories from teams currently in the beta.

"We used to outsource every grant report at $2,500 a pop. Quittal pays for itself after the second grant — and we still have the option to bring in a reviewer."

Rachel — CEO, growing NFP

"I couldn't justify a consultant for a $20k grant. Quittal made the report the funder actually wanted, in an afternoon."

Marcus — Research fellow

"We now keep our consultants for strategy, not data entry. The economics are completely different."
