Time Flow

A 3-tier time tracking platform built for accounting firms—helping them reduce write-offs, accelerate billing cycles, and give clients full transparency into billable hours.

The Challenge

Accounting firms struggled with fragmented time tracking across spreadsheets, emails, and memory. Write-offs were common because hours went unrecorded or were disputed. Billing cycles dragged on while managers chased down missing entries, and clients often questioned invoices without clear documentation.

What We Built

Time Flow provides role-based time capture, approval workflows, and real-time reporting that align with firm billing structures. The 3-tier model supports:

  • Staff—simple time entry with project codes and descriptions
  • Managers—approval workflows, utilization dashboards, and adjustments
  • Clients—self-service portal with billable hour summaries

Key Results

  • Reduced write-offs with real-time visibility into logged hours
  • Faster billing cycles via streamlined approval workflows
  • Client transparency through shared summaries and portal access
  • Better utilization with manager dashboards tracking team productivity

Our Approach

  • Discovery first—we interviewed staff, managers, and clients to understand pain points
  • Iterative builds—shipped working features every two weeks for feedback
  • User testing—real accountants used the system before launch
  • Seamless launch—migrated existing data and provided training

Technologies Used

  • Frontend—React with TypeScript for responsive dashboards
  • Backend—Node.js API with PostgreSQL database
  • Auth—Role-based access control with SSO integration
  • Infrastructure—Cloud hosting with automated backups
