01

Built around the work before the invoice

The path from tracked hours to invoice is reliable only when the underlying entries are clean enough to bill.

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

Invoice generation

Create the invoice after the billing review, not before it

A common billing mistake is using raw timesheets as the invoice source. Keito encourages a review step first: confirm the client, project, notes, billable status, and expenses, then use that data as the basis for an invoice summary.

Exclude non-billable research and internal admin from invoice totals

Give the client a summary that matches the project conversation
