Typical accounting firm pain
In 80% of cases an accounting firm bills clients hourly or by retainer, with overage. A spreadsheet with “=SUM(...)” becomes opaque at just 20 clients × 5 accountants. Mid-year bonus? You spend 3 days reconciling hours per staff per client.
What TimeHunter does differently
Per-client time tracking
Accountant taps start, picks a client from 60+ contacts, picks task type (VAT, payroll, audit). Time runs automatically.
Invoice PDF in one click
Pick client and period → PDF with hours × rate, ready to attach to the invoice in any local accounting tool.
Rates: junior/senior/partner
Each client has 3 default rates, each employee has their role. The system picks the rate automatically.
Live dashboard: who works on what
Morning view: 6 accountants working (3 on client A’s VAT, 2 on client B’s audit, 1 on client C’s payroll).
Internal firm processes — approval workflow
An accounting firm isn’t “I work 8 to 16” — it’s “7-9 on client A’s report, 9-12 on client B’s VAT, 12-14 on client C’s audit”. TimeHunter lets you pause sessions, hand over to another client without closing, and add a short task note (e.g. “preparing VAT-7 declaration”).
Quick client switching
1 tap = end A + start B. No menu drilling.
Break between clients
Coffee, email, off-client call — break is non-billable.
Per-session task note
Short note “VAT-7, correction” — client sees the task in the PDF.
Accounting seasons — April, November, year-end
Accounting firms have 3 peak seasons: April (income tax), November (estimates + reports), Jan/Feb (year-end). Hours grow 60-80% then. TimeHunter shows this live — alert “heads up, client A burned 120% of retainer, propose pricing change”.
