Track client time by engagement. Invoice with clean billing evidence.
Keito helps accountants and accounting firms capture billable engagement hours, separate non-billable work, and produce reviewed billing summaries before invoices are sent.
Accounting firms billing for engagement time need clean records, not reconstructed summaries from email threads and calendars.
Capture delivery work by client and role
Record time by client, project, and team member role so billing reports reflect actual team composition without needing a separate tracking system per person.
Review team-level billing before it leaves the project
Give project leads a combined view of who worked on what, what is billable, and whether the team effort matches the client story before invoice prep starts.
Report team delivery in client billing language
Produce summaries that explain team effort by deliverable, milestone, or service area so clients understand what they are paying for.

Accounting billing
Build the billing record during the engagement, not at month end
Accounting firms that bill by the hour often discover missing or ambiguous time entries only when the invoice cycle starts. Keito moves the quality check earlier: partners and managers can review time by client and engagement, remove internal admin and CPD, and build a billing summary while the work is still fresh.
Log engagement time by client and service type while the detail is clear
Separate CPD, internal meetings, and business development from billable client work
Review billing evidence per client before invoices are prepared

What Keito adds to time tracking for accountants
Team billing without per-seat penalties
Keito flat pricing means project leads can add contractors, specialists, and reviewers without facing a billing escalation each time the delivery team changes composition.

Delivery context the whole team fills in
Keito is designed for teams who move fast. It captures the minimum needed for billing accuracy: client, project, task, and billable status, without turning every entry into a form.
Quick entry with client and project tags
Billable or non-billable classification per entry
Manager review before entries become billing evidence
One billing view across the full team
Project leads can see all team contributions to a client engagement, not just their own entries, so the billing review is a single step rather than an aggregation exercise.

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
Engagement records
Time tracked per client, matter, and service type.
Timesheet exports often mix engagement types requiring manual sorting.
Billing review
Partners review entries before billing period closes.
Invoice cleanup happens after raw timesheets are exported.
Team pricing
Flat plan covers all billing reviewers and fee earners.
Per-seat tools add cost every time a new team member needs access.
Accounting firms need per-client engagement records, billable vs non-billable separation, review workflows for partners, and clean billing summaries for every client invoice.
Should accountants track non-billable time?
Yes. Tracking CPD, business development, team meetings, and administration separately from client engagement work helps firms understand total capacity and price future engagements accurately.
Can Keito work for seasonal billing spikes like tax season?
Yes. Keito flat pricing means adding staff during busy periods does not increase the monthly tool cost. The team can scale up without software billing surprises.
