AuditGuard Time Tracker

13 reports

Accounting professionals need time tracking that distinguishes between billable work, non-billable office presence, and personal time while providing detailed documentation for audits. Current systems fail to account for mandatory office hours and lack the granular detail required to justify billable time during client reviews.

A public accounting firm employee is pressured to hit 60+ billable hours per week, but then gets scolded by a partner for going over budget on a client engagement, creating a catch-22 between high workload expectations and efficiency requirements.

Hourly tax accountant has insufficient client work to fill required hours but is prohibited from billing general admin time and must be in the office, creating unpaid idle time.
