What it means

What this means

What it is

Billable expenses are direct project costs paid by your company that are marked to be billed back to the client for reimbursement.

Who needs this

Consultants, travel-heavy teams, and builders who purchase materials or software licenses on behalf of specific clients.

The problem

Forgotten client expenses eat into service margins

If billable costs are not linked to billing, they get forgotten. Travel costs, subcontractor fees, and print materials go unbilled because there is no system reminder during invoice creation, coming out of your margin.

Sound familiar?

Signs this is happening on your team

  • You forget to bill expenses back to clients
  • Finance spends hours matching credit card bills to projects
  • No clear label separates internal and billable expenses
  • Clients reject invoices that lack receipt proof
  • Recompiling billable costs delays monthly invoicing
The cost

What this costs you

Failing to capture billable expenses results in direct cash losses, thins project profitability, and delays reimbursement cycles.

The solution

Automated billable expense mapping and invoicing

TimeTracker flags expenses as billable from the start. When logged, they map to the client account. The invoicing engine displays all unbilled expenses for the client, letting you add them to the bill with one click.
