Time tracking for creative and marketing agencies

Know which clients and projects are actually profitable — with billable hours, utilization, and budget-vs-actual across your whole team.

Agencies live and die on billable hours. When time is scattered across designers, strategists, and account managers — and a dozen client projects — it is easy to blow a retainer without noticing until the month closes. BizyClock captures every hour against the right client and job, so you can bill accurately, watch utilization, and see budget-vs-actual while there is still time to act.

Where agency time slips away

  • Retainers quietly going over budget before anyone notices.
  • No clear picture of which clients or project types are actually profitable.
  • Chasing the team for timesheets at the end of every month.
  • Utilization guesswork instead of real billable-vs-total numbers.

How BizyClock helps agencies

Billable hours by client and project

Every team member tags time to a client and job, so billable hours roll up cleanly per account — ready for invoicing and client reporting.

Job costing and budget-vs-actual

Set budgets per project and watch actual hours and cost against them, so a retainer overrun is a heads-up mid-month, not a surprise at invoice time.

Utilization you can trust

Compare billable hours to total hours across the team to spot who is overloaded, who has capacity, and where margin is leaking.

Timesheets without the nagging

Fast clock-in on web and mobile plus reminders mean time gets logged as work happens — not reconstructed under deadline.

Agencies fit the Business plan, which unlocks job costing, budgets, scheduled reports, and the AI assistant for plain-English questions about your time data. The Team plan covers straightforward billable-hour tracking if you do not need full job costing yet.

Agencies time tracking — FAQ

How do agencies track billable hours?

Team members log time against a specific client and project, and the agency rolls those hours up per account for invoicing while comparing billable hours to total hours for utilization. BizyClock captures this automatically as people clock in and tag their work.

Can BizyClock track project budgets?

Yes. On the Business plan you can set a budget per job and track actual hours and cost against it, so you see budget-vs-actual in real time instead of discovering an overrun after the fact.

Does it show which clients are profitable?

Job costing reports break time and labor cost down by client and project, so you can see which accounts and project types earn their margin and which quietly lose money.

Is this better than a project-timer app for agencies?

Personal project timers are great for solo tracking but thin on team roll-ups, budgets, and payroll. BizyClock is built for a team: clock-in across web, mobile, and kiosk, approvals, job costing, and payroll-ready exports in one place.

See which clients actually make you money

BizyClock rolls every billable hour up by client and project, tracks budget-vs-actual, and turns utilization from guesswork into a number — so your agency bills accurately and protects its margin.
