“We stopped losing Friday afternoons to the spreadsheet.”, a bookbinder with four employees
Because the others were built for accountants. A studio of five does not need a chart of accounts; it needs to know who worked on what, and whether it has been billed.
chronoskin runs in the browser you already have. Your figures are copied every night and you can take them with you whenever you like.

Sign up freeThree short pages on how a studio gets from hours to a paid invoice.
Each person writes down what they did and for how long. At the end of the month the hours for one client are gathered into a draft invoice, which you can change before it goes out.
A rate belongs to a person, a job or a client. The most specific one wins: a rate set on the job replaces the rate of the person doing it.
Invoice numbers follow the pattern you set, for example 2008-0412.
Paper, ink and couriers bought for a client are written down as receipts. They wait beside the hours and go on the next invoice at cost, unless you say otherwise.
