The daily friction

Why Consulting & Freelance teams use Kerna

Writing project proposals takes hours that you can't bill for

Invoice and payment reminder emails feel awkward — but uncomfortable silence costs you cash flow

Meeting follow-ups slip when you're juggling four clients in a week

International clients expect correspondence in their language, not yours

New project inquiries pile up while you're heads-down on delivery

Maintaining a professional voice across very different client industries is hard solo

What Kerna does

Built around how Consulting & Freelance teams actually work.

Proposal drafts in minutes

Turn a 30-minute discovery call into a polished proposal draft. Edit, send, win — without rewriting from scratch each time.

Payment reminders that don't feel awkward

Diplomatic tone for that 30-day-overdue invoice. Direct tone for the 60-day one. Pick the register and Kerna handles the phrasing.

45 languages for international clients

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Can I save my proposal template style?

Yes. Custom Templates let you lock in your standard proposal structure, payment terms, and voice. Kerna fills in client-specific details while keeping your boilerplate consistent.

Does Kerna work for solo freelancers, or just consulting firms?

Both. The free tier (15 emails/month) covers most solo freelancers exploring the tool. Pro and Business plans scale for higher-volume practitioners and small consulting teams.

How do I send invoice reminders without sounding aggressive?

Use the diplomatic tone with the "follow-up" intent for first reminders, switch to direct for second or third reminders. Kerna writes both with appropriate weight — neither apologetic nor confrontational.

Will it replace my CRM or accounting tool?

No — Kerna handles the communication layer. Your CRM and accounting tool handle data and billing. Kerna writes the emails between you and your clients quickly, so you spend less time on admin.
