Use this page when Basecamp projects contain the work plan and you need a clean report for clients, managers, finance, or yourself. The useful output is a view of time and cost by project, to-do, list, member, client, or date range. Each breakdown serves a different review job, so start with the decision the report needs to support.
A project report works for budget status. A to-do report supports billing backup. A member report shows workload and contribution. A date-range report turns scattered entries into a weekly or monthly update. Billable and non-billable time belong in the same review when internal work affects cost, margin, or delivery planning, even if the client sees only billable detail.
Basecamp gives the work its structure: projects, to-do lists, to-dos, assignees, due dates, and completion status. Everhour adds reporting fields around that structure, including Basecamp project names, to-do names, list names, task ID, and task status. That makes the report easier to reconcile against the work people recognize.
Match the grouping to the question. Group by client to review account-level cost. Group by project to compare delivery effort across active work. Group by to-do when a client asks for invoice support. Group by member when a lead needs staffing detail. Keep comments short and factual, since vague notes make a report harder to approve or export.
A report becomes more useful when time, billable status, and cost sit in one view. Everhour reports can include billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, cost, profit, invoice status, budget metrics, task, project, client, member, comments, and integration fields. That range lets one saved report serve finance review without hiding delivery context.
A monthly client report can show project, to-do, member, date, billable time, non-billable time, and billable amount. An internal cost report can swap in labor costs, profit, and budget metrics. Financial columns should stay limited to people who need them, while delivery teams can still use time and task status to explain progress.
A one-off export is enough when you need a quick status update, a spreadsheet for a stakeholder, or a single archive of a filtered date range. Saved reports can be downloaded as CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF, and recurring email delivery works for routine review cycles with named recipients, subject text, and scheduled timing.
A managed workflow fits when reports feed billing, payroll review, budget checks, or repeated client updates. Everhour can build standing reports over approved time, separate billable and non-billable work, apply project billing settings, and send budget alerts at 50%, 80%, or custom thresholds for Basecamp projects. That removes the monthly rebuild and keeps exports tied to the same approved records.

A to-do or project breakdown gives the clearest billing support because it ties hours to the work the client recognizes. Add member, date, billable time, non-billable time, and comments only when they clarify the charge. Internal cost, profit, and budget fields belong in an admin or finance view, since money columns should stay role-gated.
Separate the report by audience. A status report needs project, to-do, task status, member, comments, and date range. A cost review needs billable time, non-billable time, labor cost, billable amount, profit, and budget metrics. Mixing every field into one export slows review and exposes financial detail to people who only need delivery context.
Weekly ranges work for active delivery review because missing time and unusual totals are still fresh. Monthly ranges work for billing, retainer review, and executive summaries. Use the same cutoff each cycle, then lock or approve the period before invoice or payroll records use the numbers.
Non-billable work should stay visible in internal reports because it affects cost, margin, and capacity. A client-facing report can exclude non-billable rows or show them separately when the contract requires transparency. Hiding non-billable work from every report creates false profitability and makes staffing decisions weaker.
Rebuilding reports from copied spreadsheet rows causes avoidable rework. The common failure is a changed to-do name, corrected time entry, or excluded non-billable task that never makes it into the final client or finance file. Use a saved report over the approved source data before exporting.
Everhour Billing & Invoicing can create invoices from tracked billable time and expenses, calculate amounts from rates, and exclude non-billable tasks from the invoice total. Invoices can be customized and exported to QuickBooks Online, Xero, or FreshBooks, with status details visible back in Everhour.
Everhour can set Basecamp project budgets by hourly rate, fixed fee, or non-billable status, then send automatic budget emails at 50%, 80%, or custom thresholds. The report stays tied to the same tracked time used for project review, so budget checks do not require a separate spreadsheet.
Use Everhour Billing & Invoicing to move approved Basecamp time from report review into client invoices, with non-billable work excluded and accounting exports handled by Everhour.
