Connect Jira delivery context to client billing records.
Keito helps software teams pair Jira issue work with billable time, project budgets, and client-ready summaries without rebuilding reports from issue history.
Jira shows what was worked on. A billing record also needs duration, approval status, and context that explains what should be invoiced.
Keep delivery context attached to time
Group work by client, project, issue, branch, or repository reference so time reports explain what changed, not just who was online.
Review engineering work before billing
Use approvals and project summaries to catch unassigned work, non-billable research, and time that needs a clearer client note.
Report the work in client language
Export clean summaries that connect delivery activity to project budgets, retainers, and invoices without exposing internal noise.

Jira billing
Go from Jira sprint output to client invoice without stitching exports
Engineering teams using Jira for issue tracking still need a separate billing layer where time is reviewed, billable status is confirmed, and client summaries are prepared. Keito gives that layer structure, keeping Jira context visible while keeping internal sprint noise out of the invoice.
Reference sprint goals and epics without copying raw issue IDs into client emails
Separate billable feature work, bug triage, and internal platform support by entry
Run an approval step for the sprint billing cycle before finance starts the invoice

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

What Keito adds to jira time tracking
Developer-friendly time context
Keito is designed for technical teams that need billing records to reflect real delivery work without pushing every developer into finance tooling. The Keito CLI, GitHub Action, and Agent Skill log time from the terminal, CI jobs, pull requests, and AI coding sessions directly.
GitHub Action logs time from issues and PRs
CLI tracking for terminal and CI sessions
Repository and issue references on invoices
Review layer for client work
Managers can separate billable implementation, non-billable discovery, support, and internal work before reports leave the team.
Approval workflow
Billable status by task
Client-ready exports
Billing and project reporting in one flow
Use tracked engineering work for invoice backup, project profitability, and retainer reviews without stitching together several spreadsheets.
Budget and margin context
Expense support
Flat team pricing

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
Issue context
Preserved in the billing workflow without raw ticket dumps.
Teams copy Jira data into spreadsheets to build invoice support.
Billing classification
Billable status attached to each sprint time entry.
Issue types alone do not define whether time is billable.
Sprint reporting
Client summaries organized by deliverable, not by issue key.
Sprint history can be too technical for billing conversations.
No. Jira tracks issue activity, not billable duration. A billing workflow also needs duration, approval, billable status, client context, and a clean summary.
Can I link Jira epics to billing reports?
Keito supports project and task context that teams can align with Jira epics or sprints, keeping billing summaries organized by client deliverable.
How should software teams separate billable and non-billable Jira work?
Label entries by project and task type during review. Sprint bugs covered under a support agreement may be non-billable, while feature development on a retainer is typically billable.
