Know your real margin on every billed hour.
See profitability per project, per client, per employee — in real time, not at month-end.
Trade these pain points for outcomes
-
You only learn a project lost money when the invoice goes out.
Margin updates the moment a timer stops — not three weeks later.
-
You run spreadsheets to compare what you paid versus what you billed.
Internal cost and external rate sit on the same time entry, side by side.
-
You walk into rate negotiations without your real numbers.
Per-client and per-employee margin is one click away before the call.
-
Project budgets drift quietly until they overshoot.
Budget alerts fire while there is still time to act.
Everything Agency Owners need
Dual-rate timer
One entry captures both the internal cost and the client-facing rate. Switch projects without losing context.
Real-time margin dashboard
Profitability per project, per client, and per employee, recomputed as time is logged.
Project budget alerts
Set hard caps and soft thresholds. Get notified before a project crosses into negative territory.
Role-isolated views
Employees see hours and tasks, never their own internal cost. Clients see only their own projects.
Audit-grade exports
Export timesheets and margin reports to CSV, Excel, or PDF for accountants, partners, or board reviews.
