Keito gives accounting firms one reviewed record for client time, approvals, AI-assisted delivery costs, and invoice evidence when the billing layer needs to be narrower than an all-in-one practice management platform.

Firm360 already documents timers reachable from the dashboard, project view, or a dedicated tab, time entry in project and task context, hourly, flat-fee, value-based, and hybrid billing, pre-invoice line-item adjustments, deferred work-in-progress that rolls forward, client portal payments, automated receivables reminders, and realization reporting inside an all-in-one practice platform. Keito is the narrower choice for firms that want reviewed human and AI-assisted work to become billing evidence in one focused workspace, with explicit boundaries around any transfer.
Decide the clients, engagements, services, contributors, billable rules, reviewers, and billing periods Keito will own before touching live time capture or any document, portal, e-signature, workflow, or receivables records the firm keeps in Firm360.
Resolve missing descriptions, wrong client or service context, non-billable entries, rate questions, AI-assisted delivery costs, and write-off decisions while the team can still explain what happened.
Use approved time and decision context for client summaries, invoice preparation, or a firm-governed downstream workflow without assuming automatic Firm360 import, synchronisation, or reconciliation.
Compare operating scope, not just timers
Firm360 is an all-in-one practice management platform for accounting firms that combines client management, document management, a secure client portal, e-signature, project and workflow management, time tracking and billing, and reporting. Its published time-and-billing scope includes timers accessible from the dashboard, project view, or a dedicated tab suited to multi-monitor work, time captured in project and task context with approvals and payroll exports, hourly, flat-fee, value-based, and hybrid billing, invoice roll-up by type, category, or service line with configurable client-facing detail, line-item and category-level adjustments before invoicing, deferred billing that rolls unfinished items into the next cycle, bulk invoicing, recurring fixed-fee engagements, client portal payments, automated overdue-invoice reminders, and realization and utilization reporting, with published integrations such as QuickBooks Online, Stripe, and RightSignature. Buyers should evaluate it as an established, actively developed practice platform, not as a product that lacks time or billing capability. Keito answers a narrower question. It keeps professional time, approved AI-agent or model costs, client and engagement context, billable status, descriptions, approvals, scope decisions, and invoice evidence in one focused review workflow. That fits a firm whose delivery and finance reviewers want a single clear source record, whose AI-assisted or technical work needs to sit beside professional time, or whose pricing preference favours a flat team rate over per-user plans. The boundary matters: Keito does not claim to reproduce Firm360's document management, client portal, e-signature, firm workflow, or receivables-collection capabilities. It does not claim a native Firm360 integration, automatic historical import, two-way synchronisation, payment migration, automatic invoice reconciliation, or a lossless switch. Before changing live work, the firm should decide which system owns clients, engagements, time, invoices, payments, and accounting records; test representative exports or API handoffs; preserve historical evidence; and approve rollback and reconciliation controls.

Choose Keito when the priority is a focused reviewed record for human and AI-assisted client work, billing evidence, and flat-rate team participation
Map system ownership, historical records, transfer controls, invoice evidence, and rollback steps before changing the live process
Keep client, engagement, service, contributor, duration, billable status, work explanation, and approval state together before finance uses the record for billing or reporting.
Record staff time and approved AI-agent or model costs against the same client project so reviewers assess one delivery record, without implying automatic activity ingestion from Firm360 or any other tool.
Move active capture and review in controlled stages, retain historical source evidence, and validate exports or API-based handoffs rather than expecting a one-click Firm360 migration that Keito does not provide.
The difference is not just recording time. It is whether the record can support billing, project decisions, and client conversations.
Primary product scope
Keito focuses on reviewed human and AI-assisted work, billing context, client evidence, and project economics.
Firm360 documents timers, project-context time entry, hourly, flat-fee, value-based, and hybrid billing, pre-invoice adjustments, deferred WIP, portal payments, automated receivables reminders, and realization reporting inside an all-in-one practice platform.
Billing review record
Engagement leads resolve descriptions, scope decisions, billable status, AI-assisted costs, and approval exceptions before records become invoice evidence.
Buyers should verify how Firm360's current timer, approval, adjustment, deferred-billing, payment, and reporting controls match the firm's exact review process.
Team participation
Flat-rate team plans let staff, partners, contractors, and billing reviewers share the Keito workflow without a separate charge for every participant.
Firm360 plans are priced per user, so firms should compare current per-user costs for every person who must capture, review, report, administer, or approve work.
Migration boundary
Keito supports a staged, firm-controlled move of active capture and review with explicit exports and handoffs.
No native Firm360 import, two-way synchronisation, payment migration, or automatic invoice reconciliation is assumed.
A Firm360 time tracking alternative is a different system for capturing, reviewing, and using professional work in client billing. Keito is a focused option for firms that want approved human and AI-assisted work, invoice evidence, and project context without running that layer inside an all-in-one practice management platform.
Firms should compare client and engagement structure, time capture, rate handling, exception review, approvals, invoicing, payment ownership, reporting, AI-assisted work, migration controls, integrations, and total per-user cost. Firm360 spans time, billing, deferred WIP, portal payments, receivables reminders, documents, e-signature, and workflow in one platform, while Keito concentrates on the reviewed delivery record behind billing.
A firm should keep Firm360 when it wants time, billing, client portal payments, document management, e-signature, project workflow, and receivables follow-up to remain inside one all-in-one platform with QuickBooks Online, Stripe, and RightSignature integrations. Keito suits a narrower reviewed time, approval, AI-cost, and invoice-evidence workflow, so it should not be treated as feature-for-feature replacement parity.
Yes, a firm can migrate the active capture and review process in stages, but Keito does not promise a one-click or lossless Firm360 migration. The firm should map clients, engagements, services, people, billable rates, open work, historical evidence, reviewers, billing cutoffs, exports, and rollback steps before changing live capture.
A Firm360 migration should preserve the client, engagement, service, contributor, duration, billable status, description, rate context, reviewer, approval state, scope or write-off decision, invoice reference, payment status, and reporting period. Keito keeps new reviewed records traceable while the firm retains historical source evidence under its own retention policy.
No native Firm360 integration, automatic import, or automatic synchronisation is claimed. Keito supports structured capture, review, reporting, exports, API, CLI, and agent-friendly options, but each firm must design, test, approve, and monitor any transfer between Keito, Firm360, its invoice process, payment systems, and general ledger.
