Bonsai gives freelancers a tidy proposal-to-payment flow — contracts, invoicing, time tracking and a light client portal. SNR-PMO is what that same business grows into: real projects and portfolios, HR & payroll, a genuine ledger, and white-label resale, with approve-first AI agents doing the admin.
Bonsai is excellent at what it is built for: a solo freelancer or tiny studio running proposals, contracts, invoicing and time tracking with minimal setup. Its client portal is white-labeled only on the higher tier and has no custom domain, and there is no HR, no payroll, no real ledger and no multi-tenant resale — it is a personal back-office, not an agency platform. SNR-PMO is the step up: real project and portfolio management, HR & payroll, a double-entry general ledger, a branded client portal you can resell under your own domain, and approve-first AI agents with audit and rollback. Pick Bonsai to bill clients simply as a freelancer; pick SNR-PMO when you are running a team, the books and client sub-accounts.
