01

Built around the work before the invoice

Billable-hour tracking needs clear classification, not just duration. The difference matters for revenue and client trust.

Capture the work while it is fresh

Record billable time by client, project, task, and person so the billing source of truth is created during delivery, not reconstructed at month end.

Review before anything reaches the client

Approve entries, expenses, and budget movement in one place so managers can catch missing context before finance creates the invoice.

Turn approved time into billing evidence

Use the same tracked data for invoices, client summaries, margin reviews, and internal capacity conversations.

02

Billable classification

Separate revenue work from internal effort without guesswork

A team can be busy all week and still underbill if client work is mixed with planning, admin, sales support, and internal rework. Keito gives each entry a client, project, and billable state so managers can see what should be invoiced and what should stay internal.

Frequently asked questions

What should billable hours tracking software record?

It should record duration, client, project, task, billable status, notes, reviewer, and enough context to support the invoice later.

Can Keito track non-billable work too?

Yes. Non-billable entries are important because they show utilization, scope drag, and operational work that should not be charged to the client.

How does flat pricing help billable-hour teams?

Flat pricing lets teams include contractors, reviewers, and finance users without adding a per-seat cost each time the billing workflow grows.

What matters when comparing billable hours tracking software tools for client billing?

When comparing billable hours tracking software tools for client billing, check whether they connect every entry to client, project, billable status, approval state, and a concise work explanation. Keito keeps those details in one workflow so finance can invoice from reviewed delivery records instead of chasing context at month end.

What should a client-ready billable hours tracking software report include?

A client-ready billable hours tracking software report should include the client, project, task, contributor, billable status, approval state, and a concise explanation of completed work. Keito keeps those details connected so reports can answer client questions without exposing internal delivery notes.
