Time and Billing features to help you track every minute, bill with precision, and get paid faster.
Qount connects time tracking, WIP, invoicing, and collections so your firm can move from work completed to revenue collected faster. With flexible controls for billing rules, approvals, write-downs, and client payment workflows, your team can bill accurately without relying on manual workarounds.
Smarter billing. Faster payments. Total visibility.
End-to-end time tracking and billing — fixed fee, time-based, or one-off invoices — with automated collections, direct GL sync, and analytical depth you won’t find anywhere else.
UNIQUE TO QOUNT
Automatically detect scope creep
Qount reads your engagement letter, understands the agreed-upon services, and automatically flags when staff track time against work that wasn’t part of the deal. No more discovering months later that you’ve been giving away free services.
- Reads engagement letter to identify agreed services
- Flags out-of-scope time entries in analytics reports
- Paired with missed time entry alerts for complete coverage
- Gives partners data to renegotiate engagements or adjust pricing
How this is different: No other practice management platform connects time tracking back to the engagement letter. Without this, scope creep goes undetected until profitability has already dropped.
QOUNT ADVANTAGE
WIP analysis with write-up, write-down & realization
Before any invoice goes out, partners can drill into work-in-progress by client — see who spent time, how much, and on what task. Then adjust the bill amount up or down, with the realization rate updating in real time.
- Filter WIP by account manager, partner, or custom role
- Expand to see time by staff, day, and checklist step
- Write up or write down — realization rate auto-adjusts
- Save as draft → review with invoice labels → send
How this is different: Other practice management solutions report on realization after the fact. Qount lets you actively shape the invoice amount before it goes out, giving you control over revenue, not just visibility.
QOUNT ADVANTAGE
Collect retainers and net them against future invoices, automatically
Collect a retainer at engagement start, park it in a prepayment account, and Qount automatically surfaces the balance when you create the final invoice. Apply all or part with one click and the ledger adjusts automatically.
- Collect retainer via invoice or manual entry
- Green indicator shows retainer balance at invoice creation
- Apply full or partial retainer — ledger updates automatically
- Clear separation: retainer vs. credit vs. refund
How this is different: Other practice management tools don’t offer native retainer management. Firms track prepayments manually or in a separate system, introducing errors and extra work every tax season.
