Billable Hours

The Best Time Tracking Software for Accountants Starts with Accurate Billable Hours

Accounting firms lose an average of 10–15% of billable time to manual entry errors and forgotten clock-ins. Trackpilots — the best time tracking software for accountants — eliminates that loss by automatically capturing every second your team spends on client work. From the moment an accountant opens a client's file to the moment they close it, Trackpilots logs active app usage and assigns time to the correct project without any manual intervention.

Unlike generic stopwatch tools, Trackpilots distinguishes between billable work sessions and idle time. If a team member steps away from their desk, the inactivity detector pauses the clock, so you invoice clients only for genuine effort. Every entry is timestamped, app- verified, and exportable — giving your billing team a clean, dispute-proof record for every invoice you send.

Automatic Time Capture

Trackpilots runs silently in the background and logs active work time to the second. No manual start/stop required — accountants focus on the work, not the clock.

Idle-Time Detection

Automatically pauses billing when the keyboard and mouse are inactive, ensuring clients are charged only for productive, focused work time.

Exportable Billing Reports

Generate per-client, per-project, or per-employee billing summaries at any time. Export as CSV or PDF and attach directly to your invoice workflow.

Real-Time Dashboard

Managers see live billable-hour totals for every team member across all active client engagements — no end-of-week reconciliation surprises.

Client Projects

Client Project Time Tracking — Know Exactly Where Every Hour Goes

Modern accounting practices juggle dozens of concurrent client engagements — tax filings, audits, payroll runs, advisory retainers. As time tracking software for accountants, Trackpilots lets you see exactly how many hours each engagement consumes, broken down by team member and task type.

With per-project time summaries you can identify which client accounts are over-serviced relative to their fee, renegotiate retainers with data to back you up, and allocate your most experienced staff to the engagements that need them most. You also get a clear picture of which junior team members are consistently absorbing more time than estimated — a signal to increase training or adjust scope.

Trackpilots captures screenshots at configurable intervals during each work session, creating a visual timeline of client-facing work. This is especially valuable during reviews or disputes: rather than relying on memory, managers can pull up exactly what was on screen at any point in a billable session and use that evidence to resolve client queries quickly and professionally.

Audit Trail

Tamper-Proof Audit Trail Features for Accounting Firms

When regulators, senior partners, or clients ask "who worked on this and when?", you need more than a spreadsheet. Trackpilots maintains an immutable, timestamped record of every work session — including the applications used, websites visited, and screenshots captured — creating a complete audit trail for every engagement in your firm.

As time recording software for accountants, Trackpilots stores up to 12 months of activity logs and screenshot history under Starter Pack, giving you a reliable evidence base for internal audits, client disputes, and quality-review processes. Each log entry is tied to a specific employee, device, and timestamp — making it impossible to retroactively alter records without detection.

🗂️
12-Month Activity Log

Full history of every work session, app used, and website visited — retained for a full year under Starter Pack.

📸
3-Month Screenshot History

Visual proof of work stored for 90 days — searchable by employee, date, and project for quick retrieval during reviews.

🔒
Immutable Records

Logs are timestamped at the server level and cannot be edited by employees or managers — giving senior partners full confidence in reported hours.

Tax Season

Survive Tax Season Without Burning Out Your Team

Tax season is the ultimate stress test for any accounting firm. Workloads spike, deadlines compress, and the cost of an error escalates. Trackpilots gives firm managers live visibility into exactly how their team's capacity is distributed during crunch periods — so you can redistribute overloaded accountants before the burnout sets in, not after.

The productivity dashboard shows daily active hours, peak-focus windows, and time spent per client engagement in real time. If one senior associate is consistently working 11-hour days while another on the same team averages 6, you see it immediately and can rebalance assignments on the spot. Automated attendance and overtime reports also make it easy to calculate accurate compensation during the extended hours that tax season demands.

After tax season, Trackpilots historical data becomes your planning tool for next year. Review which client accounts consumed the most unplanned hours, which team configurations performed best under pressure, and where your capacity bottlenecks appeared — then use those insights to price engagements more accurately and staff up in the right areas before the next peak hits.

Live Capacity View

See every accountant's current workload, active hours today, and remaining capacity — updated in real time so you can act before burnout hits.

Overtime & Attendance Reports

Automated overtime detection ensures accurate compensation during extended tax-season hours, protecting both firm and employee.

Post-Season Planning Data

Historical engagement-level time data helps you price next year's engagements accurately and avoid under-staffing the same clients twice.

Inactivity Alerts

Get notified when a team member goes idle for an extended period — a useful signal during deadline-sensitive filing periods.
