4 benefits of automated CPA time tracking

What’s in it for accounting and CPA firms

1. Stop undercharging clients

If your accounting firm charges by hourly rates, the efficiency of your time tracking process directly impacts your profit margins. It’s easy to undercharge and overservice clients when you simply cannot remember how long you worked on every little task. Memtime records your day down to the minute to help you recover billables and charge clients fairly.

I used to estimate hours, which led to undercharging.

2. Make sense of flat fees

It’s not always clear which of your projects are actually profitable based on the flat fees you’re charging. It may turn out that you spend so much time on a project that the fee is no longer justified. To know that, you need reliable time tracking data, which is very hard to get with manual timers.

3. Improve resource planning

Many accounting and CPA firms struggle with planning projects and resources because they don’t know their utilization rates. This is due to unreliable and inconsistent timekeeping. Automated time tracking improves your ability to estimate and plan resources, allowing you to meet every deadline and avoid going over budget.
Helps with planning workloads.

4. Retain talent

People hate time tracking for a reason. It’s disruptive, invasive, and feels like a part-time job. Automating this chore is about lifting the burden of setting timers and remembering every little detail off of your bookkeepers. Memtime makes everyone’s lives easier and never undermines your team’ privacy.
