Bill4Time Releases New Expense SnapShot Feature for Mobile App
Now Small Businesses can Accurately Track Expenses While On-the-Go
March 23, 2015—Bill4Time (www.bill4time.com), a leader in time billing software for legal, accounting, consulting and service businesses, announced today the release of Bill4Time expense snapshot feature for iPhone, Android and BlackBerry mobile users.
Bill4Time clients can simply enter an expense by snapping a photo of the actual receipt. All details appear with the expense entry and automatically uploads to the users online Bill4Time account. Receipts can be easily attached to invoices, thereby eliminating the hassle of keeping track of actual paper receipts. In addition, users can view any uploaded receipt in the Bill4Time app, anytime, anywhere.
“Tracking expenses is often time-consuming and a hassle for small businesses. When a receipt is misplaced or lost, these expenses are often not reimbursable—causing the business to incur a financial loss,” said Jeremy Diviney, president of Bill4Time. “The new Bill4Time mobile expense snapshot feature eliminates the need to retain paper receipts and helps businesses accurately track expenses as efficiently as they account for billable time.”

Bill4Time Recognized as an Excellent Timekeeping App for Lawyers
Published by Cyber Advocate | March 8 by Brian Focht
Excerpt:
Bill4Time (iOS, Android)
The Mobile App component of a comprehensive billing and invoicing system, Bill4Time is a complete timekeeping system for small business. With the ability to track everything from time and expenses to client and project information, the invoicing and reporting functions of the Bill4Time software are unmatched on this list.
Unfortunately, Bill4Time is not a completely standalone app for recording time, meaning you will not gain much usefulness from the app without purchasing the billing software that goes along with it. However, if you’re willing to foot the price for the full package, you’ll find, like Morgan Smith of the Cogent Legal blog, that Bill4Time is “a fantastic program for billing, creating invoices, [and] tracking time spent.”
UPDATE: Bill4Time now includes a sortable and searchable list of ABA Legal Billing codes.
