Organize client work with project managers, team assignments, billable tasks, historical rates, cost rates, fixed fees, and six project budget models with alerts.

Expenses and receipts

Capture project expenses, receipts, mileage, and other unit-based costs. Mark items billable or non-billable and include approved billable expenses in project budgets and invoices.

Invoices and estimates

Create invoices from tracked time and expenses or free-form lines. Send estimates, convert accepted quotes into invoices, record payments, manage retainers, and export PDF or UBL files.

Timesheet and expense approvals

Review submitted time and expenses together by person, project, or client. Approve in bulk, withdraw approval when needed, and lock approved records against later edits.

Reports and profitability

Analyze billable and non-billable time, project profitability, invoicing, contractors, activity history, and detailed time or expense records. Save, share, schedule, and export reports.
