Time Tracking and Billing Integration for CA Practices

Most CA firms bill fixed fees for routine compliance work. But for advisory, audits, and project work, time-based billing is more appropriate. The challenge is getting staff to actually log their time consistently.

Making Time Tracking Easy

Time tracking should be frictionless — select client, select task, enter hours, done. If it takes more than 30 seconds to log a time entry, staff will skip it. Mobile-friendly entry is essential for staff working at client premises.

Billable vs Non-Billable

Not all time is billable. Internal meetings, training, admin work — these are non-billable but should still be tracked for productivity analysis. The ratio of billable to total hours is a key firm efficiency metric.

Time to Invoice

KaryiQ Practice links time entries directly to invoices. Select a client, see all unbilled time entries, choose which to include, and generate the invoice automatically. The client sees a detailed breakdown of work done — which builds trust and justifies fees.
