The time that is easy to miss
Busy-season priorities move quickly between client engagements.
Review and client coordination can take as much time as preparation.
Fixed-fee work needs an internal check on actual effort.

Answers for your workflow
Frequently asked questions
Can several people work in one workspace?
Yes. Paid plans include different member limits, so the team can log and review work together. Check Pricing for the current limits.
Does it replace accounting software?
No. SOWLedger handles work planning, time, and time-based invoices. Use exports or an available integration with your accounting process.
Can we track fixed-fee engagements?
Yes, for time and effort review. Time tracking does not create a fixed-fee or recurring billing schedule; manage those billing arrangements separately.
