Bill by progress, not only by hours
Some projects are billed by percentage complete, milestones, or phases. Decent Billing supports progress billing alongside hourly work, so the invoice can follow the contract.
Timekeeping is only the start.
Lots of apps can collect hours. Decent Billing is built for what happens next: reviewing the work, applying the billing rules, handling deposits and progress billing, and preparing invoices your accounting system can use.

Billing is a process
- 01 Track time Daily hours, notes, projects, phases, and expenses.
- 02 Review the work Comment, edit, move hours, and resolve billing questions.
- 03 Apply the rules Progress billing, deposits, markups, and firm-specific logic.
- 04 Prep invoices Clean billing work, ready for QuickBooks Online.
Invoicing is not a button at the end of timekeeping. It is a review process, a rules process, and usually a team process.
Decent Billing keeps that messy middle inside the product, so firms do not have to rebuild the real billing workflow in spreadsheets, email threads, and memory.
What makes us different
Built for the parts of billing that generic time trackers leave behind.
Billing is collaborative
Comments, edits, moved hours, and review notes stay close to the work. Your team can clean up the details before anything is handed to accounting.
Initial deposits belong in the workflow
Professional services firms often collect deposits before the work is finished. Decent Billing keeps those deposits visible when invoices are prepared.
Special billing rules are normal
Transit markups, expense markups, reimbursables, fixed-fee phases, and mixed billing rules should not require a spreadsheet rescue operation.
Add firm rules without code
Describe the billing rule in simple English and turn repeat decisions into repeatable billing logic for the next invoice cycle.
Ask better questions of your data
Helpful AI tools make it easier to ask plain-language questions about time, budgets, and billing history, so your team can get back to client work.
