Ettrick BillTime

The invoice is a professional judgement, not a calculation.

Standard time billing multiplies hours by a rate. Ettrick BillTime separates what work was done from what you decide to charge, so the recovery percentage becomes visible, measurable and manageable.

Time records are a guide. The invoice is a decision. BillTime shows you what that decision is worth.

What it does

Built for how professional practices really bill.

Recovery dashboard

Time cost, billed amount, recovery % and profit or loss per invoice, with outstanding and overdue totals.

Three-stage billing

Select the client, review the time records, then build and preview a professional invoice before its number is locked.

Preset library

Reusable billing descriptions, ranked by how often you use them, so invoices are quick and consistent.

Payments and overdue

Record several payment methods and part-payments, with overdue invoices flagged automatically after 30 days.

13 reports

Grouped by partner or manager, with export to Sage, Xero or CSV.

Audit trail

Every change is logged at field level, and nothing is permanently deleted.

Branded PDF invoices

Professional invoices with your branding, and none of your internal time records shown to the client.

Multi-clerk support

Individual logins, an “Acting For” workflow, and rate history preserved over time.

AI that informs

Suggested invoice lines and recovery pattern insights. Every suggestion is logged and you keep the final say. No black box.
