Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
A project time summary gives you one place to review logged time for Asana tasks before the numbers move into billing, payroll review, or budget reporting. The useful version groups time by project, task, member, and date, then separates billable and non-billable entries so the total does not hide administrative work, rework, or internal review time.
The summary should answer three practical questions: how many hours the project used, which tasks consumed those hours, and whether the entries are ready for the next step. Comments, task names, dates, and billable status matter because they explain the total. A clean summary prevents vague invoice lines and makes project review faster.
Each entry needs a task, person, date, duration, and short description of the work. Billable status belongs on the same record because a project total with mixed work needs two separate views: total effort and client-chargeable effort. A useful summary also keeps task context from Asana, such as project names, task titles, tags, and custom fields.
Rates turn a time summary into a financial summary. A project can use a project rate, member rates, or task-specific rates when the billing model requires that detail. Cost rates and billable rates should stay separate, because labor cost, revenue, and profit answer different questions even when they come from the same logged hours.
The most common mistake is fixing totals after the fact instead of correcting the entries underneath them. A project summary should not become a spreadsheet of adjusted numbers. Correct the source entries, then rerun the report so task totals, member totals, billable amounts, and cost stay tied to the work records.
Another common problem is grouping too broadly. A single project total helps with a quick status check, but it does not explain scope creep or billing questions. Group by task when you need delivery context, by person when you need staffing context, and by billable status when the summary feeds an invoice.
A one-off summary works for a quick project check, especially when you only need task hours for one week or one client conversation. It stops being enough once the team needs repeatable rate rules, approval history, locked periods, budget alerts, or exports that accounting and project managers both trust.
Everhour turns Asana project activity into a managed workflow by placing tracking controls inside Asana and syncing task data into reports. Teams can keep project work in Asana while Everhour applies cost and billable rates, preserves dated rate changes, and reports time by project, task, person, and billing status.

An Asana project time summary should show total logged time, task-level time, member-level time, dates, descriptions, and billable status. Add rate-based columns when the summary supports cost review, client billing, or profitability analysis. A single total is useful only after the underlying entries are complete and correctly categorized.
Task entries should be specific enough to explain the work without becoming a diary. A good entry names the task, records the date and duration, and includes a short description when the task title alone does not explain the work. Client-facing summaries need cleaner descriptions than internal workload reviews.
Yes. Cost shows the internal value of labor, while billable amount shows what the client can be charged under the project's rate rules. Combining them hides margin and makes invoice review harder. Keep cost rates and billable rates separate, then compare both against the same approved time records.
The best grouping follows the decision you need to make. Group by task to review scope, by person to review staffing, by date to check weekly progress, and by billable status to prepare billing. Use more than one grouping when the same summary supports both delivery review and invoicing.
Manual edits to exported totals make summaries unreliable. Adjusting a spreadsheet total breaks the link between the report and the original task entries. Correct missing time, wrong dates, billable status, or descriptions at the entry level, then export a fresh summary for review.
Everhour separates cost and billable rates, supports default rates per person, and allows project-level overrides when a client or project needs different pricing. It also preserves dated rate history, so summaries can calculate older and newer work under the correct rate period.
Everhour reporting can group Asana-synced time by project, task, member, billable status, and other available fields, then export reports in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF. That gives managers a reviewable file for billing checks, project analysis, or accounting handoff.
Track project hours inside Asana, apply the right cost and billable rates in Everhour, and create summaries that support billing, reporting, and margin review.
