Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
A clean accounting review starts where the work happened. Basecamp projects hold the client context, to-do lists, to-dos, assignees, and due dates. Everhour adds embedded time tracking controls through the browser extension, so a team member can start a timer or enter time on the Basecamp to-do instead of rebuilding the record later from memory.
Each entry needs enough detail for review: Basecamp project, to-do, list, work date, amount of time, and a note when the work needs explanation. Everhour's Basecamp reporting can include project names, to-do names, list names, task number, and task status, which gives accountants a clearer path from a time total back to the work item that produced it.
Timers work best for active client work, support sessions, implementation tasks, and other blocks where the person starts work on one to-do and stops when that work ends. Manual entry fits cleanup, meetings entered after the fact, or work completed away from the browser. The record still needs the right Basecamp to-do and enough context for accounting review.
Accountants should watch for vague entries, time added to the wrong to-do, and late manual totals that merge several activities into one line. Everhour records timer, manual, and past-date entries separately, which helps reviewers compare real-time tracking with later timesheet entry before invoices, cost reports, or payroll review use the numbers.
Accountants often need two readings of the same hours. Payroll review asks whether a person's submitted time is complete for the period. Billing review asks whether the client should be charged for that work. Everhour keeps billable setup in the project and task rules: admins set project billing status, and a specific task inside a billable project can be marked non-billable.
A practical review checks the Basecamp project first, then the task status, then the report columns. Billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost can sit in reports by member or task. That structure keeps internal cleanup, client revisions, and administrative work visible without pushing those hours into client-facing billable totals.
A one-off time log is enough for a small correction, a single client question, or a quick export that answers one period. It stops being enough when several people track hours on Basecamp to-dos, invoices depend on billable rules, or payroll review needs submitted time, approvals, and protected records after close.
Everhour gives accountants a managed workflow around those records: weekly timesheet review, approvals, locked periods, reporting, and billing or payroll handoff. For Basecamp projects, the work stays tied to the to-do while Everhour carries the time into reports, budget review, invoice preparation, and overtime visibility when that tracking is enabled.

Review the project, to-do, person, amount of time, and supporting context before using the entry in billing or payroll work. A strong review also checks whether the entry belongs on a billable project, whether the specific task should be non-billable, and whether the period has been submitted or approved.
A useful record connects the hours to the Basecamp project, to-do, list, person, and work period. That context lets an accountant trace a total back to the work item, compare it with client scope, and decide whether the hours belong in payroll review, invoice preparation, or a cost report.
Timers suit work performed directly from a Basecamp to-do because the entry stays close to the task as work happens. Manual entries suit cleanup and work recorded after completion. A consistent policy matters more than the input method, because mixed habits create review gaps when task links or context are missing.
Billing setup belongs in Everhour's project and task rules. Admins can set a Basecamp project as billable by hourly rate, fixed fee, or non-billable status, and specific tasks inside a billable project can be marked non-billable. Accountants should review billable totals through reports instead of treating every logged hour as invoiceable.
The common mistake is grouping time only by person or period and losing the Basecamp to-do context. Accountants need the work item behind the total, especially when a client questions an invoice line or a manager asks why payroll hours rose for a project.
Everhour Overtimes can apply daily and weekly overtime limits, including 1.5x overtime and 2x double-overtime tiers, when overtime tracking is enabled. Accountants can review overtime in Team Hours and payroll calculations based on employee hourly cost and tracked time.
Everhour Timesheets let users submit time for review, then managers can approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time. Submitted and approved time is locked for regular members unless it is withdrawn or rejected, which protects reviewed entries before billing, payroll, or reporting uses them.
Track Basecamp to-do hours through Everhour, review overtime in Team Hours, and carry approved records into payroll and billing workflows with cleaner accountant oversight.
