The Solution

I created a modular CLI tool using **Node.js** and **Commander**. It allows me to manage my consultancy tasks directly from the terminal. With a simple command like `consultant invoice --client Acme`, I can generate a professional PDF based on logged hours.

Efficiency

Reduces administrative work from hours to minutes.

Accuracy

Eliminates calculation errors in billing and reporting.

The Result

The tool has become an indispensable part of my workflow, allowing me to focus more on delivering code and less on paperwork.
