Step 01
Choose the client and engagement
A controlled list the firm maintains, not free text. Recent selections sit at the top, so the common case takes one tap.
Firm timekeeping — clients, engagements, hours
Timekeeping that understands how firms work.
A focused platform for tracking time, organizing client work, reviewing timesheets, and understanding where your firm's hours go—built for firms of every kind, without the weight of enterprise software.
- Built for firms of every kind
- Clients & engagements, structured
- Timesheets your team will finish

02 For firms
Built around the way firms actually work.
Accounting, legal, consulting, agencies—wherever work is billed against clients and engagements, a recorded hour is never only an hour. It becomes a bill, a staffing decision, a view of a relationship, and a picture of how the firm spends its capacity. The record carries the weight—the act of recording should not.
FirmClock separates those two things deliberately. The person entering time gets a short, obvious task. The firm gets structure it can rely on: consistent clients and engagements, timesheets that arrive on schedule, and a clear view of where the hours went.
i
Billing depends on it
Hours that are vague, late, or reconstructed from memory weaken every downstream conversation about value.
ii
Staffing depends on it
Knowing who is carrying which engagements—right now, not at month end—changes how work is assigned.
iii
Client understanding depends on it
Time is the most honest record a firm keeps of what a client relationship actually requires.
iv
The employee should not feel any of it
Choose a client, choose an engagement, record the time, submit the week. That is the whole job.
03 The workflow
Five movements, start to finish.
The same measure runs through every stage—from the moment an hour is recorded to the moment the firm can read it.
Step 02
Record time
Run a timer while the work happens, or enter the time afterwards. Both produce the same clean record.
Step 03
Submit the timesheet
One weekly action. The week is laid out day by day before you submit it, so a missing day is caught now, not three weeks later.
Step 04
Review and approve
A reviewer sees the week in one view, approves what is right, and returns what needs a correction—with the reason attached.
Step 05
Understand firm activity
Recorded time rolls up into a plain reading of the practice: by person, client, engagement and activity, for the period you choose.
04 For the person entering time
The shortest path between doing the work and recording it.
Every additional decision is a reason to postpone. FirmClock removes the decisions that do not matter and keeps the two that do.
Fast entry
Client, engagement, duration. Recent pairs are offered first, so a repeat entry is a single confirmation.
A clear daily timeline
The day reads as one continuous measure, with recorded intervals in place and gaps visible as gaps.
Timer or manual—your choice
Run a timer during focused work, or reconstruct the afternoon in a few keystrokes. Neither is second-class.
Missing time, visible early
Reviewers see who has recorded nothing for the period—shown by pattern and label, never by colour alone.
One weekly submission
Review the week, resolve anything flagged, submit. No monthly reconstruction exercise.

Product preview · sample data05 Firm administration
Dense where it should be. Quiet everywhere else.
Administrators need volume on screen: people, clients, engagements, permissions and timesheet status, without hunting through modules to find them.
Fig. 03 — Concept: firm directory and timesheet status
Product preview · sample dataPeople and roles
Four plain roles. Employees record their time, reviewers approve timesheets, and owners and administrators run the firm.
Clients and engagements
One controlled structure, maintained once, used by everyone—so reporting holds together.
Timesheet status and review
Draft, submitted, approved or returned—visible for the whole firm in a single period view.
06 Reporting and visibility
A plain reading of where the hours went.
Not an analytics suite. A small set of answers a firm actually asks, in one place, for a period you choose.
Note
Every figure below is fictional sample data shown to illustrate layout and intent. FirmClock reports on recorded time only. Profitability calculation, payroll, invoicing and third-party integrations are future concepts, not current capabilities.

07 Shaped by real firm experience
Designed from inside a working firm
FirmClock is built around practical workflows developed through years of firsthand firm timekeeping experience—not around unnecessary enterprise complexity.
It began as an internal timekeeping system, built by an experienced practitioner who had worked with the available products and kept running into the same gap: tools built for everyone, configured endlessly, and still awkward for the specific rhythm of a firm's week.
That system is the reference point. FirmClock takes those workflows and makes them something any firm can run—from a ten-person practice to a national one.
i
Start from the week, not the feature list The unit that matters in a firm is a week of work that has to be recorded, submitted and reviewed.
ii
Configuration is a cost Every setting is a decision someone has to make and maintain. Sensible defaults beat flexibility no one asked for.
iii
The employee is the constraint If entering time is tedious, the data is late and wrong, and nothing built on top of it can be trusted.
iv
Say what is shown The product interfaces on this page are previews, labelled as previews, and every example uses fictional sample data.
08 A difference of philosophy
Two ways to approach the same problem.
