What matters most of all, My Hours reports are easy to use and flexible.

Reports for your clients

Time reports are usually used for two things when regarding your clients:

Reports make invoicing clients faster, easier and more accurate.
Reports serve as proof of your work.

At the end of the month, you simply create the report and bill your clients with ease. Send them your time reports and give a sense of reassurance of what they are getting for their money.

Sending your time tracking report will improve the transparency and most customers will love the fact that you tell them how you spent your time on the project.
