For accounting firms

TimeHunter for accounting firms — time per client, export to local payroll

A 12-person accounting firm with 60 clients — the spreadsheet collapsed before mid-year bonuses. TimeHunter tracks each accountant’s time per client and generates the invoice PDF in 20 minutes.

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”.

Frequently asked questions

Can I import clients from my accounting software?
Yes. Export to CSV → upload to TimeHunter → map columns (tax ID, name, address, rate). 60 clients import in 5 minutes.
Is there a minimum user count?
No. You can start with 1 user (micro firm) and add more. First 14 days free, then you pay only for active users in the given month.
Can I track hours for a single declaration?
Yes — in the session you pick “client + task type” (e.g. “VAT-7”). The report shows total hours per task type — you see income tax takes 8h, VAT 3h, payroll 2h.
Can an accountant log hours retroactively?
Yes — up to 7 days back by the employee, up to 90 days by admin. Each edit logged with time and reason.
How to bill a client with hourly + flat fee?
Invoice PDF has two sections: “overage hours” (× rate) and “flat-fee package”. Client sees what’s in the package vs overage. Clear, no disputes.
Are there trainings for my team?
Yes — 30-min onboarding video + live webinar for teams of 8+ (1h, with customer success). Pro plan: 1 dedicated onboarding call.
