01

Built around the work before the invoice

Professional services billing is only clean when time, approvals, and project context move together.

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

Firm-level billing

Give every engagement a billing record the client can trust

Professional services firms lose billing accuracy when delivery teams track time in one tool, managers review in another, and finance rebuilds the invoice from exports. Keito creates a single billing loop for the whole firm — every engagement has a client, project, approval status, and billing evidence before finance starts the invoice conversation.

Track all service lines — strategy, advisory, delivery, and support — in one place

Give partners and managers a combined engagement view before billing month closes

Use reviewed delivery data for both client invoices and internal margin conversations

Workflow fit

Engagement billing

Keito keeps professional services time tracking connected to client, project, billable status, approval, and invoice context before the work reaches finance.

What Keito adds to professional services time tracking

Billing-ready time records

Keito keeps time, expenses, approvals, and client context together so the invoice is backed by the same record your team used to deliver the work.

  • Client and project tagging
  • Billable and non-billable separation
  • Approval status before invoice review

Flat pricing for growing teams

Invite the people who capture, review, and explain client work without turning each new contractor or reviewer into another per-seat charge.

  • Solo from $19/month
  • Flat-rate team plans from $49/month
  • Room for finance and delivery reviewers

Project visibility before the invoice

Spot budget drift, missed entries, and low-margin work before the month closes and the client conversation becomes harder.

  • Project budget views
  • Team utilization context
  • Exportable client summaries
04

Compare the workflow

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

Area Keito Typical setup

Engagement billing

Time, expenses, and approvals stay together per engagement.

Disconnected tools mean finance rebuilds the invoice from multiple exports.

Partner review

Senior reviewers can approve work without needing a dedicated seat.

Per-seat pricing discourages broad participation in the billing review.

AI cost attribution

Tracks AI tool costs per engagement alongside human delivery hours.

Most professional services tools do not model AI agent costs.

Frequently asked questions

What is professional services time tracking software?

It is software that tracks billable work by client and engagement, supports approval workflows, manages project budgets, and produces billing evidence for invoicing professional services work.

How do professional services firms track time for billing?

The most effective approach is a single workspace where delivery teams log time with client and project context, managers review and approve entries, and finance uses reviewed data for invoice preparation.

Why do professional services firms need flat-rate billing tools?

Professional services firms often have fluctuating team compositions — contractors, associates, partners, and finance reviewers. Flat pricing keeps the billing workflow accessible without per-seat cost conversations every time the team changes.
