Ask HN: What do you use for tracking time and invoicing clients?
6 points by mattew on May 3, 2010 | hide | past | favorite | 6 comments
I have a small software development consulting company. We have approximately 5 employees, and anywhere between 5-10 active clients at any one time. We need an easy to use system for tracking our hours and invoicing our clients. What do you suggest?



We use Freshbooks for invoicing and Basecamp for time tracking, but I'm trying to get that to change.

I have a cofounder that is very insistent on his system, as he takes on a huge work load and has to maintain high efficiency to keep up. I see some inefficiencies in what he's doing (doesn't track hours with a clock, writes them down on a sticky note before copying them into Basecamp), but convincing him is going to be hard because he's very stubborn about his ways.

I also want to maintain visibility of what he's doing, along with the other staff, so I haven't found a good replacement yet. I'll watch this thread intently :)


I use FreshBooks with the mac dashboard widget and just turn it on and off as I do work so my time tracking is completely accurate.
