Time Tracking and Billing for Accountants
Time tracking and billing for accountants records hours against the client and engagement they belong to, then turns that into invoices. In Remindoo this matters most for fixed-fee work, where it shows which clients are consuming far more time than their fee assumes.

What it does
Firms that moved to fixed fees did not stop needing time data; they stopped needing it for invoicing. Hours are now a cost measure rather than a billing input, and without them a firm cannot tell whether a $500 a month client is a good client or a slow leak.
Remindoo captures time against engagements rather than against a generic timesheet code. That means the reporting answers the useful question, which is not 'how many hours did we bill' but 'which pieces of work consumed more than we assumed when we priced them'.
Billing runs from the same place, so an invoice is raised against work the system already knows about rather than reconstructed from notes at month end.
Worked example: a fixed-fee client that stopped being profitable
Time goes against the engagement, not a pool
The monthly close for that client accumulates hours from everyone who touches it, including the admin chasing documents.
The trend appears during the year
Hours creeping up month over month is visible in the third month, not at renewal after twelve.
The cause is usually identifiable
More often than not it is document chasing and repeated queries, both of which are tracked too, so the conversation with the client is specific rather than vague.
Repricing becomes evidence-based
You raise a fee because you can show what the work now involves, which is a very different conversation from asking for more money.

Frequently asked questions
Do staff have to run a timer?
Time can be recorded against work without demanding stopwatch discipline. Most firms settle on recording at the end of a task rather than live.
Does billing require the Growth plan?
Billing sits on Growth. Core covers clients, recurring work, deadlines and requests. The pricing page sets out both.
Can we bill fixed fees and hourly work in the same firm?
Yes. Time is captured regardless of how the engagement is priced, which is what allows fixed-fee profitability to be measured at all.
