Track the time. Send the invoice. Get paid.
Capture time where the audit work happens and invoice clients through your firm's own Stripe account — engagement to payment without leaving AuditFile.
Time capture and client billing built into the platform where your firm already does the audit.
Log time where the audit work happens.
Time capture lives inside the engagement itself, so hours land exactly where the work happened.
Down to the procedure
Log time at the engagement, category, or individual procedure level — as precise as the workpaper it supports.
Billable and non-billable
Mark every entry billable or non-billable, with firm-defined non-billable reasons so unbilled hours still tell a story.
Admin time too
Capture administrative time alongside engagement work, so the week adds up to the whole week.
Notes on every entry
Attach a note to every time entry, so review — and the eventual invoice — starts with context.
Hours get reviewed before they become billing.
A time review and approval workflow stands between logged hours and the client's bill.
Approval before billing
Submitted time goes through review and approval first — only approved hours move on to billing.
Budget vs. actual, in time to act
Budget vs. actual views catch overruns while the engagement is still open — not after the final bill goes out.
Multi-entry time screens
Enter a full week of time on one screen — quick weekly capture for staff who would rather be auditing.
Invoice from AuditFile. Get paid through your firm's own Stripe account.
Connect your firm's own Stripe account — Stripe Connect onboarding walks you through it — and clients pay your firm directly.
Failed-payment and refund states are tracked too, so the record never loses the thread.
Built like an invoice should be
Sequential numbering — INV-0001 and counting — with line items, a memo, and a due date on every invoice.
A secure pay link, emailed
Email clients a secure pay link, and they pay online through your firm's own Stripe account.
Reminders until it is paid
Automatic payment reminders keep following up until the invoice is paid — no chasing from your staff.
Resend, void, refund
Resend an invoice that got buried, void one that should not exist, and refund a payment when it is the right call.
PDF invoices
Every invoice is available as a PDF, ready for the client's records and your firm's files.
No manual reconciliation
When the client pays, the invoice already knows: payment status updates itself — no manual reconciliation.
Win the work first.
A proposal and RFP tool in the same platform — scope the engagement and price it before the first hour is ever logged.
Rate cards by staff level
Build rate cards by staff level — partner, manager, senior, and staff — so the numbers match how the engagement will be staffed.
Dates, letterhead, references
Set engagement dates, present the proposal on firm letterhead, and include references.
Multi-year support
Propose year one and the years after it — multi-year proposals are supported.
Bill for the work where the work already lives.
Track time as the audit moves, approve it once, and send the invoice — without leaving AuditFile.
