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.

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.

The difference is not just recording time. It is whether the record can support billing, project decisions, and client conversations.
