The work behind the books — planned, timed and billed

Monthly bookkeeping runs as an engagement with its work items — capture the bank transactions, reconcile, sales, purchases — each with an owner, a due date and a timer. Time flows into timesheets and is billed to the client.

Who uses it

  • Partner
  • Manager
  • Bookkeeper

What it does

  • An accounting engagement per client and period, with its workflow stages and what is owed to the client — such as the month-end close confirmation and the management accounts pack.
  • Work items with owners, due dates, priorities and planned against actual hours, a timer on every row.
  • Timesheets: my week, confirm the day, captured time, team approvals and reports.
  • Billing: invoices, monthly fees, time billed from the timesheets, online payments and credit control.
  • Engagement letters and proposals the client accepts.

How it works

  1. Open the engagement.
  2. Assign the work items.
  3. Time the work.
  4. Bill the client.

The controls that protect it

  • Who may do what is worked out from the engagement’s assignments.

What it does not do (yet)

  • Payroll for clients is not part of this package.
