of revenue lost to unbilled work
Industry estimates put revenue leakage at 1–5% of firm revenue. Uku surfaces every delivered-but-unbilled hour so you can recover it.

The whole cycle, in two minutes.
Watch a contract turn tracked time into a sent, paid invoice — no manual steps in between.
Watch how Uku's automated billing works · YouTubeBilling that runs itself.
Set a contract once — recurrence, invoice day, service rows — and Uku generates the draft invoice from the hours and task data your team already logs. Recurring work bills itself; you just check it.
- Draft → Approval → Created → Sent → Paid — one place
- Bulk create, recalculate, send, and mark-paid
- Draws directly from Time Tracking and task data
Fixed fee, hourly, per-item — or all of it on one invoice.
Most tools make you pick flat or metered. Uku does fixed price, hourly, member-rate, per-piece, task-triggered, and disbursement — or all of them combined on one invoice, including "first N units flat, then per-unit above."
- One clean invoice for retainer + overage hours + per-payslip charges
- Schedule a price change in advance — it activates on its own
- Bill a parent company for all its subsidiaries, itemized
Stop chasing late payers.
Uku sends up to three escalating payment reminders on a schedule you set, in the client's language — and stops automatically the moment the invoice is marked paid.
- Firms that automate AR typically cut DSO by 15–30 days
- Opt any client out, customize every reminder
- Never write "just following up on invoice #…" again
Find the money that slipped through.
When work lands after an invoice is already locked, most firms simply eat it. Uku compares all billable work against what was actually invoiced — and shows each missed item with an estimated value.
- Every delivered-but-unbilled hour, with its estimated value
- One click reclaims it into the next billing period
- Runs on the same engine that builds your invoices
Let clients pay in a click — right in the portal.
Send the invoice and your client pays it online, in the same Client Portal where every invoice you've issued is already waiting. Take payments through your own Stripe or a custom payment page — Uku supports both — so invoices get paid faster, with far less chasing.
- Pay in the Client Portal — clients settle invoices online, no back-and-forth
- Stripe or your own payment page — Uku supports both
- Every issued invoice in one place — automatically visible to the client
- Paid faster — less chasing, healthier cash flow
Track. Bill. Collect.
Track
Your team logs time and task data against client work — they already do.
Bill
Contracts turn that data into invoices automatically, on schedule.
Collect
Reminders chase overdue invoices and stop themselves when paid.
- Most firms: 3 days of spreadsheets, manual checks, and waiting on approvals Uku firms: 100+ clients billed in ~30 minutes
- Most firms: Bill what you remembered to log Uku firms: Surface every hour that was delivered
- Most firms: “Just following up on invoice #…” Uku firms: Reminders that send and stop themselves
The bottleneck was never the invoice. It was everything upstream.
Yes, Uku can do that.

Any questions about billing?
How do accounting firms automate billing?
They connect billing to the work their team already tracks. In Uku, a contract defines the recurrence, invoice date, and services once; the system then generates each invoice automatically from logged time and task data, ready to review and send in bulk — turning days of manual prep into minutes.
What is revenue leakage, and how much do firms lose?
Revenue leakage is billable work that never makes it onto an invoice at full value — from uncaptured time, scope creep, or write-downs. Industry estimates put the loss at 1–5% of revenue — up to $100k a year for a $2M firm. Uku surfaces delivered-but-unbilled work so you can recover it.
Can Uku bill from tracked time automatically?
Yes. Uku pulls each team member's logged hours (and task-field quantities like payslip counts) straight into the invoice, applying the pricing model on the contract — hourly, per-item, member-rate, or a combination — with no re-keying.
How do automated payment reminders work?
Uku sends up to three escalating reminders after an invoice's due date, on a schedule you set and in the client's language. They stop automatically the moment the invoice is marked paid — manually or via your accounting sync — and any client can be opted out.
Does Uku connect to QuickBooks and Xero?
Yes — two-way. Uku exports finalized invoices to your accounting system and pulls payment status back, so an invoice marked paid in QuickBooks or Xero shows paid in Uku. It also syncs tax rates and article codes. Merit Aktiva, e-conomic, Fortnox, and more are supported.
What's the difference between fixed-fee, hourly, and value billing?
Hourly bills time spent — which punishes efficiency. Fixed-fee and value billing charge an agreed price for the outcome, giving clients certainty and rewarding your speed. Uku supports both (and combinations), so you can move to fixed-fee pricing without leaving hourly work behind.
Can Uku bill a parent company for its subsidiaries?
Yes. Link subsidiaries to a parent, and Uku consolidates their contracts — even different billing cycles landing in the same month — onto one invoice, with each line labeled by subsidiary.
