01

Built around the work before the invoice

Freelancers lose billing accuracy when client work, expenses, and invoices live in separate tools.

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.

Freelance billing

Replace the spreadsheet-and-timer combo with a single billing workspace

Most freelancers start with a free timer and a spreadsheet invoice. That works for one client, but breaks down at three or four — especially when clients have different billing agreements, expenses need attaching, and invoice totals need defending. Keito gives freelancers a single workspace where time, expenses, review, and billing coexist from capture to invoice.

Track multiple clients in one workspace without separate timers or accounts

Attach expenses alongside time entries per client for accurate invoice totals

Create reviewed billing summaries that explain every charge before the invoice is sent

Workflow fit

Multi-client billing

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

Track multiple clients in one workspace without separate timers or accounts

Attach expenses alongside time entries per client for accurate invoice totals

Create reviewed billing summaries that explain every charge before the invoice is sent

Project visibility before the invoice

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

  • Team utilization context
  • Exportable client summaries

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