Time tracking
Time tracking that ends in an invoice
CPArelay is CPA firm time tracking software built around one idea: billable hours belong on an invoice, not in a spreadsheet. Log time against the client or engagement, watch unbilled hours accumulate, and bill them in one step — all inside the workspace where the work lives.

Capture the hours
Log time where the work already lives
No separate timesheet app, no export step. Hit "Log time," pick the client or engagement, and the entry lands next to the project it belongs to. That is time tracking and invoicing for accountants in the same workspace — so an advisory call or a close review is captured before it fades from memory.
- Log time against the client or the specific engagement.
- Simple entries — a description, an engagement, and the hours.
- Every entry shows whether it has been billed yet.
- Time stays connected to the project history behind it.
Unbilled to billed
Unbilled time tracking, ending in an invoice
Unbilled time tracking for accountants only matters if the hours get billed. CPArelay keeps a running total of unbilled time per engagement, and one step — "Invoice unbilled time" — turns those hours into a draft invoice. Nothing gets retyped, and nothing finished sits unbilled for months.
- See unbilled hours and their value accumulate per engagement.
- Turn unbilled time into an invoice in one step.
- Billed entries flip status, so you never double-bill an hour.
- The invoice lands in the same billing workflow as the rest of your firm's revenue.
Firm-only visibility
Clients see the invoice, not the hours
Billable time tracking for CPA firms should stay internal. Time entries in CPArelay are firm-only: your team sees hours, descriptions, and who logged them, while the client portal shows only the invoice you choose to send. Internal notes about how long a review took never leak into the client relationship.
- Time entries never appear in the client portal.
- Your team sees who logged what, and when.
- You decide what reaches the client — the invoice, and nothing else.
Part of the engagement
Time is one step in a connected workflow
Hours are logged against real engagements and billed through real invoices — so time tracking connects naturally to the rest of the firm's work.
From hours to payment
Unbilled time becomes an invoice, and invoices come with reminders, recurring billing, and online payments.
Invoicing & paymentsTime knows its engagement
Every entry ties back to a project with its client, stage, and checklist — so hours always have context.
Engagement managementCapture billable time before it disappears
