Time Tracking for Accountants & Bookkeepers
Every client call, every review, every filing session - if it isn’t logged, it isn’t billed. Accountants and bookkeepers lose revenue each month to unbilled time entries. Sandtime.io makes it easy to capture time per client as you go, monitor retainer usage in real time, and invoice from a complete record instead of rebuilding your week from memory.
Accountants & Bookkeepers: why they choose Sandtime.io
Track time by client
Organize every entry under the right client account. Billing is accurate when time is logged where it belongs, not reconstructed at month end.
Capture every billable interaction
Log time for reviews, calls, filings, and client questions as they happen. No end-of-week reconstruction, no forgotten 15-minute consultations.
Monitor retainer usage
See how many hours each client has consumed against their retainer. Know when a client is running low before they go over - not after.
