Time & BillingCore module

Logged time becomes an invoice - no re-typing a single number

Billable earnings compute automatically from logged time and an hourly rate, set per project or per person depending on how your firm prices work. Approved, billable hours flow directly into a client invoice, and non-billable time is excluded automatically, with no manual filtering.

How it works

From an hourly rate to a finished invoice

Rates are set once; every approved billable hour after that prices itself.

  1. Step 01

    Set an hourly rate

    Per project or per person, depending on your billing structure

  2. Step 02

    Log and approve

    Billable time, once approved, becomes eligible for invoicing

  3. Step 03

    Generate the invoice

    Line items, hours and totals populate from logged time

Direct Invoice Generation

Approved, billable time logs populate an invoice's line items automatically: line items, hours and totals come straight from logged time, with no re-typing.

Approval, through individual timelog approval or weekly timesheet approval, is the checkpoint before time becomes eligible to invoice.

Built in

  • Invoice line items built from approved billable time
  • Hours and totals populated automatically
  • Timelog or weekly timesheet approval required first
  • Line items from time logs
  • Approval checkpoint
  • No re-typing

Built in

  • Billable time is eligible for invoicing
  • Non-billable time is excluded automatically
  • No manual filtering before invoicing

From the timer to the invoice, in one system

Time & Billing picks up where time capture and approval leave off: hours logged in Time Tracking and approved through timesheets become invoice lines, and the Time Log Report shows the billable split behind them.
