Features to look at
Guides
Can consultants see each other's rates?
No. Members only see their own time, without amounts.
Can we budget in fees rather than hours?
Yes. Budgets can be in hours, fees or cost, total or monthly.
Can we export time for client reporting?
Yes. Every report exports to CSV.
Can engagement leads approve timesheets before we invoice?
Yes. With timesheet approval on, consultants submit each week and project managers approve it or send it back with a note. Approved hours lock and can be invoiced.
