Everything you need

Time Tracking Software for Accounting Features

Stopwatch

A stopwatch helps you start a new task immediately, and you can easily track even the most minor tasks.

Manual time entering

Add the full duration of a task or enter the start and end time under the task.

Bulk time entry

Bulk-select the tasks on your dashboard and add the time for them at once. Enter the same amount of time or divide the time equally between tasks.

Automatic time entries

When adding a forecast for the task you don't even have to add time entries. The forecast is automatically marked as the time spent on the task.

Experienced bookkeepers know how much time a task takes. Give the task a time forecast that allows you to better plan your work time and workload.

Non-billable and billable time entries

Distinguish billable hours from non-billable tasks that you don't need to add to invoices.

Distinguish extra work

Get an accurate overview of additional tasks done for a client. Never underestimate the value of your time again.

FAQ

Questions about time tracking

How does Uku's time tracking work?

Uku offers multiple ways to track time: use the built-in stopwatch to track in real time, enter time manually after completing a task, or use bulk time entry to add hours to multiple tasks at once. Time entries are linked directly to clients and tasks for accurate billing.

Can I track billable and non-billable hours separately?

Yes. Every time entry can be marked as billable or non-billable. Non-billable time is excluded from invoices but still visible in reports — so you always know exactly where your team's time goes.

How does time tracking connect to billing?

Time entries feed directly into Uku's automated billing system. Set up billing contracts with hourly rates, and Uku calculates invoices automatically based on tracked time. Rounding rules, minimum time, and custom fields are all supported.

Can I see how much time my team spends on each client?

Absolutely. The time usage report gives you a detailed breakdown by client, task, and team member. Filter by date range, billable status, or task type to pinpoint exactly where time is being spent — and where you're undercharging.

Can I export time tracking data?

Yes. Export time data as PDF or CSV files to share with clients or import into other systems. You can also access time data through Uku's API for custom integrations.

Does Uku have a browser extension for time tracking?

Yes. The Uku browser plugin lets you start and stop the timer, switch between tasks, and add time entries — all without leaving your current tab. It's the fastest way to track even quick tasks like emails and phone calls.

What is automatic time entry?

When you add a time forecast to a task, Uku can automatically mark the forecasted time as the actual time spent. This is useful for tasks with predictable durations — no manual entry needed.

Is time tracking included in all plans?

Time tracking is a core feature included in all Uku plans — Starter, Team, and Enterprise. The stopwatch, manual entry, bulk entry, reports, and export are all available from day one.
