● LedgerFlow · Client Hours Transparency

Your invoice should never be a surprise.

LedgerFlow gives your clients real-time visibility of every hour you bill — logged, approved, and shared automatically every week — so when the invoice arrives, they've already seen the work. Built entirely inside your own Microsoft 365.

What it is

Live hours, shared automatically

Consultants log time in SharePoint, managers approve, and clients get an automated weekly summary — hours, work done, next steps, blockers.

Who it's for

Anyone billing by the hour

Consultancies, agencies and dev shops on Microsoft 365 who lose time and trust to invoice disputes and "where did these hours go?" emails.

What you get

Trust, and time back

Clients see the work as it happens. You stop explaining invoices, avoid payment disputes, and spend that time on delivery.

// THE INVOICE MOMENT

Every hourly engagement has the same fault line.

The work gets done. The invoice goes out. And then the client asks the question that costs you a week and some goodwill: "what exactly were all these hours?"

Without LedgerFlow

The month-end scramble

  • Hours reconstructed from memory at invoice time
  • Clients surprised by the total — every month
  • Back-and-forth emails justifying the work
  • Payments delayed while disputes get resolved
  • The PM loses days explaining instead of delivering
With LedgerFlow

Nothing to dispute

  • Hours logged daily, approved as they go
  • Clients see the running total every week
  • The invoice matches what they already saw
  • Payments clear faster — no surprises
  • The PM delivers instead of defending
// HOW IT WORKS

Log. Approve. Share. Bill.

Four steps, fully automated, running on the Microsoft 365 you already pay for.

STEP_01
📝

Consultants log

Each person logs time against the client and task in a SharePoint list — hours, what was done, what's next, any blockers.

STEP_02

Managers approve

Each entry routes to the right manager automatically by department or client. They approve or reject in Teams or email.

STEP_03
📧

Clients get updated

Every Friday, approved hours are compiled into a clean client email — work done, next week, blockers, running total.

STEP_04
💵

Only approved hours bill

Approved time is flagged for billing at the right rate and margin, and flows to finance — matching exactly what the client saw.

// WHAT YOUR CLIENT RECEIVES

A weekly update they actually trust.

No dashboards to log into, no chasing. The summary lands in their inbox, every week, automatically — with a single button to confirm they've seen it.

// WHAT'S INSIDE

Everything the hours conversation needs.

📊

Live client dashboard

Optional read-only SharePoint or Power BI view where clients check consumed and remaining hours anytime — killing the back-and-forth.

🔔

Burn-rate alerts

Automatic alerts when a client hits 70% of allocated hours, or a resource exceeds their weekly limit — to both you and the client.

🛡

Approval routing

Every entry goes to the right approver by department or client. Only approved hours ever reach an invoice.

📈

Margin & rate control

Set hourly or fixed rates and margin per entry. Finance sees costs, margins and pending payments in one place.

🧾

Billing alignment

Invoices reference the same logs the client already saw — so the hours are traceable and the invoice is justified.

📁

Leadership visibility

A live report for your leadership: hours logged, project costs, margins and pending payments across every client.

🔒 IN YOUR OWN TENANT

Your client & billing data never leaves your Microsoft 365.

LedgerFlow is built on SharePoint and Power Automate inside your own tenant — not another SaaS platform holding your commercial data. Your hours, rates, margins and client information stay entirely under your control, in the environment you already trust and pay for.

// WHO IT'S FOR

Built for teams who bill their time.

▶ Best fit

Consultancies & dev shops

Microsoft 365 partners and IT consultancies billing clients hourly, who lose time and trust to invoice disputes.

Also great for

Agencies

Creative, marketing and digital agencies running retainers and hourly projects who need clean, defensible time reporting.

Also great for

Professional services

Any team on M365 that sells expertise by the hour and wants billing transparency without buying another platform.

We built this for ourselves — now taking design partners

We run this in our own business. Want it in yours?

LedgerFlow started as the system we built to give our own clients hours transparency. It works — and now we're packaging it for other Microsoft 365 consultancies. We'd rather be honest: you'd be among the first outside teams to run it, so we're offering design-partner terms.

  • Deployed inside your own Microsoft 365 tenant
  • Priority pricing you won't see again once we're live
  • Direct influence over the roadmap (invoicing & GST billing are next)
  • In exchange: your feedback, and a case study if it works for you

If invoice disputes are costing you time and goodwill, this is the cheapest that solving it will ever be.

// COMMON QUESTIONS

What services leaders ask first.

Where does LedgerFlow run and where is our data stored?
Entirely inside your own Microsoft 365 tenant. It uses a SharePoint list for the time logs and Power Automate for approvals and client updates, so your client, rate and billing data never leaves your environment or goes to an external platform.
Do we have to replace our current timesheet tool?
Not necessarily. LedgerFlow is built on the Microsoft 365 you already pay for. If you're happy with Harvest, Toggl or Clockify, it can complement them — but many teams find the SharePoint-based log replaces a separate paid tool entirely, which is part of the saving.
How do clients actually see their hours?
Two ways. First, an automated weekly update email summarising hours, work done, next steps and blockers, with a "confirm receipt" button. Second, an optional live SharePoint or Power BI dashboard with read-only access, so clients can check consumed and remaining hours whenever they want.
How does approval and billing work?
Each time entry routes automatically to the right manager by department or client. Managers approve or reject in Teams or email, and only approved hours are flagged for billing — at the hourly or fixed rate and margin you set. Finance sees a consolidated view of costs, margins and pending payments.
Is it deployed with clients yet?
It's built and running inside our own business, Empathy Technologies, where we use it with our own clients. It hasn't yet been deployed for an outside consultancy — which is exactly why we're offering design-partner terms to the first few teams, with priority pricing and input into the roadmap.
What's coming next?
Invoicing automation is the next phase — generating GST-compliant invoices from approved hours, gentle client payment reminders, and payment acknowledgements. Design partners help shape and get early access to it.
