Features

Everything you need to run billable work.

KodaTime brings timesheets, project budgets, approvals, reporting, and invoicing into one connected workflow — purpose-built for consultancy and professional-services firms across Australia and New Zealand. Every core feature is included on every plan, with Xero sync available as an optional add-on.

Time tracking

A weekly timesheet grid your team will actually fill in

Log hours by project and work scope in a fast Mon–Sun grid. Entries auto-save as you type, with running totals per day and per row, so nothing gets reconstructed from memory at month end.

  • Project + work-scope rows, billable and non-billable
  • Auto-saving cells with live daily and weekly totals
  • Internal activities for leave, training, and admin time
  • Works on any phone or tablet browser

Projects & budgets

See fee-vs-budget burn before a job runs over

Organise work by client and project, set fee budgets, and define work scopes with staff-category allocations. KodaTime tracks burn against budget in real time so you always know where every job stands.

  • Fee budgets per project and per work scope
  • Top-down or bottom-up fee build-up with staff allocations
  • Live burn indicators — on track, watch, over
  • A four-level rate hierarchy for accurate charge-out

Approvals

Approval workflows that keep timesheets clean

Staff submit, managers review and approve. Rejected entries come back with comments, so figures are accurate before they ever reach an invoice.

  • Draft → submitted → approved / rejected states
  • Manager and admin review queues
  • Rejection comments routed back to the author
  • A full audit trail of who changed what, when

Invoicing

Generate invoices straight from approved time

Build invoices from approved time entries and expenses in two steps — select what to bill, then shape the invoice. Choose summary, detailed, or custom views, group line items, apply tax and discounts, and export a clean PDF.

  • Summary, detailed, or custom line-item views
  • Group by project, staff, or staff category
  • GST-ready tax, configurable per organisation
  • Junction tables prevent double-invoicing the same hours
  • Optional Xero Sync add-on: sent invoices land in Xero, payments flow back
New invoice flow selecting uninvoiced time and expenses by client company
Reports

Reports, charts, and exports for every angle

Billable utilisation, project burn, fee vs budget, staff productivity. Slice by employee, project, or client and export to PDF or CSV for the rest of the business.

  • Billable-ratio and utilisation reporting
  • Profitability, breakdown, and matrix views
  • Filter by employee, project, client, or date range
  • One-click PDF and CSV export

  • Role-based access enforced on the server
  • Email and magic-link invitations
  • Teams for grouping employees and approvals
