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 compact weekly view is useful for a client update, internal review, cost check, or billing handoff. The practical output is a report that ties tracked hours to Basecamp projects, lists, and to-dos, then groups the week by the question you need to answer.
A project breakdown answers, "Which Basecamp project used the week?" A member breakdown answers, "Who spent the hours?" A to-do or list breakdown answers, "Which work item drove the total?" A date-range view keeps the report locked to the week under review instead of mixing current work with older cleanup entries.
Start with the audience. A client usually needs project, to-do, billable time, and optional notes. A manager usually needs project, member, date range, billable time, non-billable time, cost, and progress against the expected work. A finance reviewer needs billable amount, cost, invoice status, and enough task detail to trace the total.
Everhour's Basecamp report fields include project, to-do, list, task ID, and task status. Those fields keep the report anchored to the work structure your team already uses in Basecamp. A clean weekly report avoids vague buckets like "client work" when the underlying to-do, list, or project can explain the hours more precisely.
A weekly report loses value when every hour sits in one total. Billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost answer different questions. Billable time supports client invoicing. Non-billable time explains internal review, rework, planning, and admin effort. Cost shows the internal labor value attached to the week.
The main mistake is treating cost and billable totals as the same number. A senior specialist can have one internal cost rate and a different client-facing billable rate. A Basecamp project can also use a project rate, member rate, fixed fee, non-billable setup, or custom task rate in Everhour, so the weekly view needs the rate model before the numbers become useful.
A one-off weekly report is enough when you need a quick summary for one project, one date range, and a small group of people. Export the current view, check the totals, and send the file to the person who needs it. That works for an occasional update or a simple client recap.
A managed workflow becomes necessary when the same report repeats every week, approved time feeds billing, or cost and billable rates change by person or project. Everhour keeps tracked Basecamp time in a reporting layer with columns, grouping, filters, exports, scheduled email delivery, approvals, and rate settings that preserve dated rate history.

Use the project view when the stakeholder asks where the week went. Use the member view when the manager needs workload or accountability detail. Use the to-do or list view when the report must explain the actual work completed. Use the date range to keep the report limited to the week being reviewed.
Yes. A weekly report should show billable and non-billable time when the audience needs a complete operating view. Billable time supports client charges. Non-billable time explains planning, review, support, or internal work that consumed capacity but should not appear as billable client work.
A cost review needs project, member, date range, hours, billable status, internal cost, and the rate basis used for the calculation. Task-level detail matters when one Basecamp project contains different kinds of work, because a single project total can hide expensive tasks or internal time.
The most common mistake is sending one total without the breakdown behind it. A 42-hour weekly total does not show whether the time came from one project, one person, one overdue to-do list, or non-billable review work. Group the report before interpreting the number.
Review weekly when the report supports active project control, budget checks, or client updates. A monthly review works for archive and finance close, but it catches missing entries and rate errors later. Weekly review gives managers time to correct unclear notes, wrong billable status, and missing to-do assignments.
Everhour separates internal cost rates from client-facing billable rates, with default per-person rates and per-project overrides. It can also preserve dated rate changes and price billable work by project, member, or custom task rate, so weekly Basecamp reports can show labor cost and client billable value separately.
Everhour reports can be downloaded as CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF files. That gives finance, clients, or stakeholders a weekly view without requiring them to work inside the reporting tool.
Track Basecamp work with Everhour, apply cost and billable rates by person or project, and turn approved weekly time into reports that support billing.
