Why time recorded against a matter beats a separate timesheet
17 August 2026
A timesheet kept apart from the matter it relates to is one extra step between doing the work and billing for it accurately. Logging time directly against a matter's own client, with a date, duration, and description, keeps that record exactly where the matter itself lives.
Billable, unbilled entries for a client and date range pull straight into a generated invoice, so nothing has to be re-typed from a separate timesheet system before it can be charged.
Because it's the same time-recording tooling the rest of the platform uses, an in-house legal team never needs a specialist billing system just to keep its own numbers straight.
Frequently asked questions
Can non-billable time be recorded too?
Yes - every entry can be marked billable or not, so internal or administrative time is tracked without affecting a client's invoice.
How does time become an invoice?
Unbilled, billable entries for a client and date range are pulled straight into a generated invoice from Billing.
