Bill against client trust funds with time records that hold up to scrutiny.
Keito captures matter time, reviews it before it becomes a bill, and produces the documented billing records a firm needs when drawing earned fees from client trust.
trust accounting software needs more than a timer. The billing record has to keep client, project, approval, and invoice context together before the work reaches finance.
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.

Trust-backed billing
Drawing fees from trust demands billing records that can survive an audit
Trust accounting is unforgiving: client funds held in a trust or IOLTA account can only be moved to the firm once fees are actually earned, and every draw has to be backed by a clear, defensible record of the work it pays for. The risk is rarely the ledger software itself — it is the quality of the time records feeding it. When matter time is captured loosely, reconstructed from memory, or missing the context that explains a charge, a trust draw rests on shaky evidence, and that is exactly what bar audits and client disputes target. Keito strengthens the layer that trust accounting depends on. Time is captured against the specific client and matter as the work happens, reviewed and approved by a responsible attorney before it becomes a bill, and turned into a documented billing record that clearly shows what was done, by whom, and why it is billable. When the firm draws earned fees against a client’s retainer held in trust, the supporting record is already reviewed and defensible rather than assembled under pressure. Keito does not replace the firm’s trust ledger or compliance controls; it makes sure the billable-time evidence behind every earned-fee draw is clean, reviewed, and ready to stand up to scrutiny.

Compare the workflow
The difference is not just recording time. It is whether the record can support billing, project decisions, and client conversations.
AreaKeitoTypical setup
Reviewed earned-fee records vs reconstructed time behind a trust draw
Keito keeps trust accounting software tied to clients, projects, billable status, approvals, and billing summaries in one workspace.
Typical setups capture time in one tool and rebuild the billing explanation later from exports, comments, or spreadsheet cleanup.
Review before invoicing
Managers review entries before they become invoice evidence, so missing context is fixed internally rather than during a client dispute.
Raw timer exports usually reach finance before delivery leads have confirmed whether the work is billable, complete, or client-ready.
Predictable team pricing
Flat-rate plans let delivery staff, reviewers, contractors, and finance users participate without per-seat pricing friction.
Per-seat time trackers make teams choose between clean billing participation and controlling tool spend.
What is the best way to manage trust accounting software?
The best way to manage trust accounting software is to capture work at source, attach it to the right client and project, review it before invoicing, and use the reviewed record as billing evidence. Keito is built around that workflow so time, approvals, and invoice context stay connected.
Can Keito help with trust accounting software?
Yes. Keito helps with trust accounting software by tracking work by client, project, task, person, billable status, and review state, then turning approved records into client-ready summaries. That makes the data useful for billing, profitability, and client reporting rather than just attendance.
How is Keito different from a generic timer for trust accounting software?
Keito is different because it treats time as billing evidence, not just duration. A generic timer records how long something took; Keito records who did the work, where it belongs, whether it was reviewed, and how it should appear in client billing context.
How do you turn trust accounting software into invoice-ready evidence?
Turn trust accounting software into invoice-ready evidence by reviewing every entry for client, project, billable status, approval state, and billing notes before finance creates the invoice. Keito keeps those checks in the same workflow so the client summary is backed by reviewed work, not a late spreadsheet cleanup.
What should a client-ready trust accounting software report include?
A client-ready trust accounting software report should include the client, project, task, contributor, billable status, approval state, and a concise explanation of the work completed. Keito keeps those details connected so reports can answer client questions without exposing internal delivery noise.
