Why time tracking fails in consulting and law firms

Between appointments, calls and case work, your own hours are the worst documented.

Fees without records

You bill by time – but calls, emails and quick reviews are rarely tracked and end up missing from the fee.

Reconstruction instead of tracking

Entering hours at the weekend means reconstructing, not documenting. That costs accuracy and, when challenged, trust.

Appointments out of office

Client meetings, court dates, on-site consulting: travel is working time but rarely shows up cleanly in the bill.

Client queries

The moment a client questions an invoice, you need solid, verifiable proof of hours.

Per-matter tracking

Time tracking in consulting and law firms: the basis of every fee

In consulting, tax and law firms, time is the currency: fees are billed by the hour or in time increments, and every untracked activity directly reduces revenue. At the same time, clients expect verifiable invoices – as soon as a bill is questioned, complete proof of hours is required. Digital time tracking like Jomawo documents every activity to the minute per client and matter, creating the basis for both: complete fees and reliable records.

Daily work in a firm is fragmented: calls, emails, quick reviews and meetings alternate by the minute. Jomawo keeps up – the timer runs alongside your work, quick search switches between matters in seconds, and with the Voice AI you can even log time by voice. For appointments out of office, the built-in travel time calculation determines driving time and distance automatically, so client meetings and court dates are fully documented too.

Reports show partners and management which matters are profitable, how busy the team is and how billable and internal hours are distributed. Export proof of hours with your own logo as PDF, CSV or Excel – ready for fee billing. Jomawo is built and hosted in Germany and is GDPR-compliant; with up to 160 free hours per month, getting started is risk-free.
