Time tracking and billable hours
Time tracking software that turns billable hours into invoices
Log hours by employee against a customer or job and a service item, mark them billable or not, and turn the unbilled hours into an invoice in one step. A clock in and out timer is there for the work you do at the desk.
Time tracking is part of AcboBooks, the desktop accounting program bought once for $399.99. It suits consultants, agencies, IT services and trades that bill by the hour.

What it means
In practice
Hours with a home
Each entry has a date, an employee, hours, a customer:job, a service item, a rate and notes. Billable hours carry a dollar value; non-billable ones are still counted.
From hours to invoice
Pick a customer and choose Create invoice from unbilled time. The hours become invoice lines at their rates, and they are marked billed so they never go out twice.
Totals both ways
See hours and billable dollars by employee or by customer:job for any date range. That is where you find the job that took twice the time you quoted.
Unbilled hours become invoice lines in one step.
Bill every hour you worked, not the ones you remembered
Start the timer when the call begins, stop it when it ends, and the entry is filled in. Add the notes the client will see on the invoice.
At the end of the month, invoice each client's unbilled time. Hours sit outside the ledger until they are billed, so nothing posts by accident.

· No mobile app for logging time away from the PC.
· Windows 10 and 11 for now (a Mac version is coming soon); no phone app.
· One company per file; open as many files as you have businesses.
Questions people ask
Before you download
Can employees log their own time?
Anyone with a user sign-in on a computer connected to the company file can log time, choosing the employee each entry belongs to.
Does time tracking feed payroll?
No. Time entries are for billing and job totals. When you run payroll, enter each employee's hours on the paycheque.
Does logged time post to the books?
No. Hours are kept outside the ledger until you bill them; the invoice then posts to income and receivables like any other.
Can I bill hours at different rates?
Yes. Each entry has its own hourly rate, so senior and junior hours or different kinds of work can be billed differently.
