Timesheet software built for accountants and bookkeepers

track daily with timer

Accounting and bookkeeping teams juggle multiple clients, services, and billing structures at once.

Accurate time tracking helps accounting firms bill clients fairly, understand team workload, and protect profitability.

When time isn’t tracked accurately, firms end up underbilling or losing visibility into where staff time is really going.

My Hours gives accounting and bookkeeping teams a simple way to track billable and non-billable work across each client. With structured workloads and custom data capture, you can clearly see how time is spent, project margins, and scale workloads without losing control.

Organized Clients and Services

Accountants and bookkeepers need to track time against the specific services they deliver to each client. Without an organized system, it’s easy to log time to the wrong client or service, leading to billing errors and lost revenue.

track daily with timer
My Hours uses a simple
clients > projects > tasks hierarchy. Clients act as separate workspaces where you create projects for each service or package. Tasks further break down services into specific deliverables.
Since users can only track time against their assigned projects and tasks, it keeps time tracking accurate and reliable.

"I use this software daily (and all day, at that) both at home and when I'm working from the road. I cannot recommend it enough for tracking where I spend my time for my clients and what I need to invoice them at the end of each month."
- Sabrina G., Founder and CEO

Separate Billable and Non-Billable Work

Not all accounting work is billable to the client. Financial professionals must be able to distinguish between billable time and internal labor costs.

My Hours billable or nonbillable time entry option
Set an hourly billable rate and an hourly labor rate per user. Billable rates can also be adjusted for specific client projects if needed.
As time is tracked, both labor and billable rates are recorded automatically. If an entry isn’t billable, the user simply marks it as such. For non-billable time entries, the labor rate is still recorded so you can understand internal costs.

Flexible Billing Options

Some accounting and bookkeeping firms charge a set hourly fee for specific services or projects. Alongside user billable rates, which allow users to record billable amounts for each timelog based on their hourly rate, My Hours also lets you adjust billing options as needed.

Project billing options
Choose the task-based billable rate if you charge rates according to the service provided. This allows you to configure an hourly fee for each task you set up within a project.
For projects with a set hourly fee, regardless of who is working on them or the tasks involved, choose the project-based billable rate.

"My Hours is saving me lost hours of billable time! Very impressed with the thoughtful design of the input functions and the customized reporting features right down to individual clients."
- Michael M., General Manager

Manage Monthly Retainers and Fixed-Fee Clients

Accountants and bookkeepers who operate using fixed-fee packages or monthly retainers also have the ability to track costs and bill accordingly.

My Hours flat fee entry option
My Hours has a flat-fee option for projects. The billable amount (calculated from tracked billable hours) is not invoiced, but is available for budgeting and comparison with the flat fee.
Set budgets at the project or task level. Handy progress bars and automated alerts keep you on top of expenditure. For monthly retainer clients, recurring budgets are available.

"Custom columns and budget tracking (monthly/fixed) give good flexibility for managing multiple projects. Time tracking core functionality is reliable, and the learning curve is low for new team members."
- Zeya M., Data Analyst

Task Templates

Accounting and bookkeeping often involve repeatable workflows. Additionally, many offer set packages to their clients that have a defined number of services.

Create task template lists
Create task templates for recurring services that are commonly performed. When a new client is added, your team can use the template and follow the same structure for consistency.
Task templates can be arranged into template lists, which you can simply drop into a new project. This is really handy when a set number of services are provided for a fixed fee.

"I like that it's simple. I also like that Tasks that have the same name across different Projects are grouped together - it helps me see how much I'm in meetings, doing individual tasks, or doing field work."
- Justina O., Founder and Principal Consultant

Custom Data Capture

Financial professionals often need more than hours worked. My Hours lets you add custom data as needed to capture important information, like client codes, service categories, and more.

Custom fields form
Create unlimited custom tags, which can be added to time and expense entries as required. Up to two custom fields can be added to clients, projects, tasks, and users, plus up to three numeric fields on time entries.
Filter custom tags and fields in the reporting tool to gain instant access to specific data groups for analysis.

Approve Time Before Billing

Incorrect billing data leads to damaged client relations and loss of business. My Hours includes an efficient validation workflow to check for data accuracy before it reaches invoicing.

My Hours timesheet approval dashboard
Once a user has submitted a timesheet, the manager is alerted that a timesheet is awaiting approval. Managers can approve or reject entire timesheets or individual time entries in one click.
Any discrepancy goes back to the user for correction. All timesheet adjustments are timestamped and documented. After approval, timesheet data is locked, preventing any further edits.

Customized Client Reporting

Every accounting firm tracks performance differently, but one thing remains the same. Clients need regular and reliable reports to stay updated on progress.

My Hours detailed report
The Detailed report provides a wider range of data fields and columns, ideal for clients who prefer granular depth. Save report settings to generate future reports in one click. Detailed reports can be scheduled and automatically sent to clients from within My Hours, and can be downloaded in PDF or XLS format.
The Timesheet report provides a weekly view of how each team spends its time. This report is mainly used internally, helping you identify the most profitable projects and tasks and top-performing team members. Filter by user, client, project, and task, and select from general, budget, billing, costs, and time data columns. The Timesheet Report is exportable as XLS only.

"The ability to tailor it to our specific needs and tasks. It's really been beneficial to dive into specific projects and departments to get a better understanding of our efforts and costings."

Workload Insight

To maintain efficient working processes across clients, accounting and bookkeeping firms need a way to understand capacity and workload distribution.

Workload insight reporting tool
Use the reporting tool to see time and resource distribution across billable and non-billable tasks. This will quickly reveal which low-value tasks are eating up the day, allowing firms to refine their processes.
The timesheet reports show who is working on what and for how long. This makes it easy to see who is over- or underloaded, so teams can plan and redistribute tasks more efficiently.

Track Expenses Alongside Time

Client work can include reimbursable expenses, such as mileage, software fees, and more. Tracking expenses alongside time removes the need to use separate systems and keeps data centralized.

Expenses tracking
Users can create expense entries and assign them to a project and task. Each entry allows receipts to be uploaded and additional info to be added as required.
Like time entries, expenses can be marked as billable or non-billable, maintaining a clear separation between client and internal costs. If a budget has been set, all related expenses will count toward the overall expenditure.

Streamlined Invoicing

For efficient and on-time invoicing, My Hours includes a simple invoicing tool.

My Hours invoice template
Billable amounts are pulled directly into a customized invoice, removing the need for manual calculations.
Email invoices directly from My Hours to clients. My Hours keeps track of invoiced and uninvoiced amounts per client.
My Hours holds ISO 27001, ISO 27017, and ISO 27018 certifications, the international gold standards for information security, cloud security, and cloud privacy, with all data hosted on Microsoft Azure in the EU.

Your data stays protected and compliant at every step.
