Every report you need — configured your way, always up to date.
Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
A good record ties each entry to the matter, task, person, date, duration, billing status, and short work description. The task gives the work context. The time entry gives the billing, review, and reporting context.
Legal teams should separate client-chargeable work from internal firm work before totals reach an invoice. A research task, filing preparation task, and client call can all sit inside the same matter project, but each entry still needs its own billing status and description. Clean entries reduce invoice questions and make write-down review faster.
Legal work often includes reimbursable costs as well as hours. Filing fees, travel, printing, or document retrieval charges should stay tied to the same matter structure as the related work. Expense records need the date, category, description, amount, billable status, and receipt when one exists.
A useful matter record shows labor and expenses together without mixing them into one vague total. For example, a litigation project can show 2 hours for hearing preparation and a separate court filing expense with a receipt. That split helps the reviewer decide what belongs on the client invoice and what stays internal.
The strongest legal time records use plain descriptions that explain the work without exposing unnecessary detail. A line such as "Drafted motion outline and reviewed supporting exhibits" tells the reviewer more than "Legal work." Short, specific descriptions also help clients understand the invoice without turning every entry into a memo.
A common mistake is tracking time only at the matter level. Matter totals help with budget review, but task-level entries explain where the hours went. Track against the actual Asana task whenever possible, then use reports to group the work by matter, person, date, billing status, or expense category.
A simple one-off record works for a single matter, a short week, or a quick invoice check. You need a managed workflow once several people touch the same matter, expenses need receipts, budgets need monitoring, or partners require a clear review trail before billing.
Everhour fits that longer workflow by keeping Asana task context connected to time, expenses, budgets, and reports. Its Asana integration syncs projects, tasks, custom fields, and tags for reporting, while Everhour Expenses keeps receipt-backed costs available for reimbursement, budget review, and invoice preparation.

Each entry should include the matter or project, Asana task, person, date, duration, billing status, and a concise work description. Legal teams should also keep expense records separate from time entries, with category, amount, billable status, and receipts when the cost needs client or accounting review.
Billable work should be marked for client invoicing, while internal administration, training, or firm-only review should remain non-billable but still visible in reports. Keeping both categories in the same reporting layer helps a firm understand true matter effort without sending every tracked minute to the client.
Yes. Matter-level expense records keep reimbursable costs connected to the legal work that caused them. A receipt-backed filing fee or travel cost should sit beside the related time records so billing, profitability, and reimbursement review use the same matter context.
Vague time descriptions create the biggest review problem. Entries such as "case work" or "research" force partners or billing staff to reconstruct the work later. Specific task-linked descriptions give the invoice reviewer enough context to approve, adjust, or hold an entry before it reaches the client.
Tasks should be detailed enough to explain the billing activity without creating extra administration. Separate tasks work well for drafting, research, filing preparation, client communication, and hearing preparation when those activities need different descriptions, rates, billing status, or review treatment.
Everhour Expenses records project costs with receipt images or PDFs, unit-based categories, billable status, and budget inclusion controls. Those expenses can appear in reports by project, client, member, category, date range, and billable status, keeping reimbursement and profitability review tied to the matter.
Everhour adds time tracking controls inside Asana tasks and projects, then syncs Asana project names, task titles, custom fields, and tags into reports. That keeps entries connected to the matter structure lawyers already use while giving billing reviewers grouped, exportable time data.
Track legal time and receipt-backed expenses against Asana matters, then review cost, billing status, and reports in Everhour before client invoices or reimbursements move forward.
