Time tracking software for consultants
Spend less time on timesheets and billing. Use the hours you’ve logged to price projects more accurately and create invoices faster.
Get more of your billable time onto invoices
Less time filling in timesheets
Log time in seconds with a timer or after a call. Organise it by client, project and task for easy billing.
Make more room for billable work
Compare paid client work with proposals, business development and admin to see where your week goes and make more room for billable work.
Set fees that reflect the work involved
Base fixed fees and monthly retainers on the hours past workshops, reviews and projects actually took.
Budgets update as everyone logs time. Compare hours or billable value with your allowance to spot work outgrowing its fee.
Get invoices out sooner
Turn unbilled hours into invoices using your recorded notes and rates. Group work by project, person or task so clients can see what they’re paying for.
Make project updates easier
Show the calls, workshops and reviews behind each project, with time reports filtered by client and date.
Clients can check hours and progress in their own private dashboard, saving you time preparing updates between catch-ups.
Keep your usual invoice branding and payment setup
Send draft invoices to Xero, QuickBooks, MYOB or Wave. Approve and send them there with your usual branding and payment settings.
Less time collecting everyone’s hours
Keep hours, budgets and billing together for yourself, employees and subcontractors. Review one person’s time or the whole team’s, without collecting separate timesheets.
Bill at the rates you agreed
Set rates by person, client, project or task. For fixed-fee work, invoice the amount you agreed.
Catch mistakes before invoices go out
Ask us to switch on Timesheet Approval for a manager to review and approve hours before billing.
Every feature on every plan
Plans differ by the number of people included. There are no extra fees for clients, projects or invoices.
Questions from consultants
- Can I track time on my phone?
Track time on the web, iPhone or Android. The mobile apps sync with your account and are included in your subscription.
- Can I track retainers and fixed-fee projects?
Set a recurring allowance for a retainer or a budget for a fixed project. Track time against it, invoice the agreed fee, and compare the hours worked with what you charged to check your margin.
- What can I learn about utilisation and profitability?
Reports break down hours and billable value by client, project, task and person. Compare billable time with the rest of your week, see what’s unbilled, and compare the hours with your fees and costs.
- Do I need accounting software to send invoices?
You can create and send invoices directly from MinuteDock. If you connect your accounting software, invoices arrive there as drafts for you to approve and send.
- Can I use it on my own or with a small team?
Start on your own or invite your team, with no limits on clients or projects. Quick time tracking, retainer budgets and invoices built from your hours keep the work and billing together.
- Can I bring over time from another system?
Email your time data as a CSV to team@minutedock.com for help importing it. Our free consultant timesheet template includes a client sign-off block and a retainer tab.
Spend more time advising clients
Quick time tracking and invoices built from your hours mean less admin between calls, workshops and project work.
