New Report Templates

Bill4Time has offered just one more way to make this time billing software cater to your individual needs. With the new report templates, you can save any combination of filters and use them again at any time. There’s also a new export feature to the reports. Now you can print out your reports as a PDF or an excel file.

Budgeting Tool

Click on any client in the system and take a look at the client details page. Notice at the top right corner a new button:

Now you can establish a budget for your client and all associated projects for that client. Here’s a screenshot of the what you can do with the budgeting tool:

If take a look at your Bill4Time invoice templates, you’ll notice some new features at the bottom of the window. These add-ons consolidate the extra information that is usually attached to the invoice.

Attach Receipts

In the Bill4Time system, you’ve always been able to upload receipt images to your tracked expenses.  By including an image of the receipts themselves, there’s an extra element of check and balance. Now with the new feature of including it in your invoice, you reinforce your integrity as a professional with your client. In one invoice, all of your receipts are shown on one document. No extra attachments to the email – no little bits of paper stapled together.

Note: For best results, make sure you initially scan cash register receipts at 100 DPI. To adjust receipts already saved in the system, resize them to about 300 pixels in width and let the length automatically change in proportion to it.

Attach Trust Account Summary

When you include the Trust Account Summary to your invoice template, you have a current record of all of the trust accounting activity during the time span of the invoice for the client’s general trust account and trust account for the matter being invoiced.

Employee Hours Breakdown Summary

At the bottom of your invoice, your client can see the tracked time of all the people who were involved in the project. The rates and total amount billed for each employee is also included. You will see a breakdown of the employee hours per project invoiced and a total number of hours overall.

Since the dawn of the Android, we’ve gotten requests for a mobile time tracking and billing app. We’re pretty excited about the workings in the Development department and it’s almost ready to be launched! Although it’s still in progress (and the development team is still a bit secretive about releasing all the details) here are a few things you can expect from the upcoming Bill4Time Android app:

• Timers –   track billable and internal time
• Entries –   see individual entries with a running daily total
• Clients –   access client descriptions and contact information
• Accounts –  monitor outstanding balances and payment history
