The item in question will turn green while OfficeTime switches on the timer. Select the project and category for the work you're about to do, or hit "New Session" to create a new record on the spot, then simply hit the "play" button that appears next to it. Projects and categories go a long way toward helping you keep track of your work as a whole, and when the time comes to actually start monitoring how much time goes into something, OfficeTime is just as thorough. You can simply adjust the figure if you need to, which is also helpful for correcting errors. In the desktop version of OfficeTime, you can adjust the software's setting so that in your final reports, the billable time can round up, down, or to the nearest minute, quarter hour, or whatever interval you set, but the iPad app sticks with minutes only, so any rounding that you want to do has to happen manually. When you create a billable category, there are two fields: one for the name of the category, and one for the hourly rate. The app also has tools for logging set one-time expenses, like transportation reimbursement and materials costs.
You can start by entering some of the projects on your roster and typical tasks (called "categories") that show up on your clients' bills, but it's not necessary, as you can just as easily enter projects and tasks as they come up. OfficeTime takes no time at all to set up.
OFFICETIME RECORD PAYMENTS PROFESSIONAL
When coupled with the desktop version of OfficeTime ($47, 4.5 stars, also an Editors' Choice), available for Windows and Mac, which adds an entire invoicing system, OfficeTime for iPad is one of the most valuable apps a busy professional can own. And because it's a one-time purchase with no subscription fees or add-on costs, OfficeTime for iPad is a bargain and a PCMag Editors' Choice product. It contains tools for managing projects and clients with ease, while also providing great flexibility and customization for a business's unique needs. OfficeTime records billable hours to the minute and expenses to the penny.
The iPad app OfficeTime ($7.99) gives contractors, lawyers, consultants, and other on-the-go professionals the tools they need to make the bucks they deserve. I've heard that most small business owners and other self-employed types actually earn more money, not less, when they increase the accuracy of how they count billable hours.
