01

Built around the work before the invoice

Profitability is hard to manage if the first accurate view appears after the project is already invoiced.

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

Margin visibility

Use time data as an early project margin signal

Project profitability is not just a finance metric. It is a delivery signal. Keito helps teams see how much billable work, non-billable support, and expense load is accumulating against each project so managers can correct scope, staffing, or pricing early.

Find projects where support time is eroding margin

Compare tracked effort with the budget narrative

Use reviewed data in client and leadership conversations

Workflow fit

  • 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.
