TimeChain is the billing system for modern consulting teams — humans, contractors, and AI agents. It covers the full chain: time tracking, pay-period approval, invoicing with PDF and automated payment reminders, one-way QuickBooks Online sync, and payment reconciliation across bank-world and blockchain (Solana and Base). Profitability and utilization reporting includes what your AI agents cost, not just what your people bill.
TimeChain
What is TimeChain?
How does TimeChain work?
Track time with a start/stop timer or manual entry, then send it through a pay-period approval workflow — pending, approved, invoiced — so nothing bills a client until a human signs off. Approved entries roll into invoices with branded PDF output and automated payment reminders. Invoices and payments sync one-way to QuickBooks Online over OAuth2, and incoming payments — including crypto on Solana and Base — are auto-matched against open invoices, with manual reconcile for the edge cases.
What TimeChain ships with
Seven features for consulting teams that want one product from proposal to reconciled payment.
Timer to Invoice. No Exports.
Track time, approve it, and roll it into an invoice in the same system. PDF, email delivery, and payment reminders included. Sunday afternoon stays yours.
Approval Before the Invoice
A real pay-period workflow: pending, approved, invoiced. Nothing bills a client until a human signed off on it.
Rates That Cascade
Set rates at the assignment, task, project, or consultant level — the most specific rate wins. Internal and contractor rate cards in one place.
QuickBooks Sync. Built, Not Promised.
One-way sync to QuickBooks Online over OAuth2 — invoices and payments land in your books without re-keying.
Get Paid in Dollars or On-Chain
Wallet sync for Solana and Base normalizes incoming crypto payments and auto-matches them to invoices. Clients who pay in crypto stop being a spreadsheet problem.
Your Agents Have a Rate Card Too
Track what AI agents cost per project alongside human time. Project profitability finally includes the token bill.
Proposals That Start Themselves
AI-assisted proposals with branded PDF output — the chain starts before the first hour is tracked.
What else is in the box?
Below the headline chain: profitability, utilization, aging, and tax-deductible reports; expense tracking; and Harvest import — switching takes an afternoon, not a quarter.
Who is TimeChain for?
TimeChain is for solo consultants, small agencies, and boutique services firms — especially teams already running AI agents whose costs belong in project margins, and the growing set of consultancies with clients who pay on-chain. If you've ever spent Sunday afternoon piecing together your week to get an invoice out the door, TimeChain is the tool that gets that hour back.
Why TimeChain instead of Harvest or Toggl?
Harvest and Toggl track time well. The complaint buyers actually voice is the stack around them: per-seat pricing that climbs, plus separate subscriptions for proposals, approvals, and reconciliation — and zero awareness that some of your "workers" are now AI agents and some of your payments now arrive on-chain. TimeChain covers proposal to time to approval to invoice to QuickBooks to reconciled payment in one product, with agent costs in the margin math.
Frequently asked questions
Does TimeChain handle invoicing or just tracking?
Both. Approved time rolls into invoices with branded PDF output and automated payment reminders. Invoices and payments sync one-way to QuickBooks Online, and you can export to CSV for any other backend. TimeChain tracks invoice status from sent through paid.
Can I bill at different rates for different projects?
Yes. Rates cascade from assignment to task to project to consultant — the most specific rate wins. Internal and contractor rate cards live in one place, so the right number applies automatically to every entry.
Does TimeChain support fixed-fee or retainer engagements?
Yes. Fixed-fee engagements bill the agreed amount while still letting you log internal time for utilization reporting, and you can track time against retainer and project work for profitability and aging reports.
Does TimeChain integrate with my accounting software?
Yes — one-way QuickBooks Online sync is built in via OAuth2, so invoices and payments land in your books without re-keying. Xero is on the roadmap, and CSV export works today.
How does crypto reconciliation work?
Connect a Solana or Base wallet; TimeChain syncs incoming transactions, normalizes them, and auto-matches them to open invoices, with manual reconcile for edge cases. Clients who pay on-chain stop being a spreadsheet problem.
Can I track what my AI agents cost?
Yes. Agent costs are tracked per project and appear in profitability reports next to human time, so a project's margin includes the token bill — not just what your people billed.
Can I import from Harvest?
Yes, Harvest import is built in. Bringing your existing clients, projects, and time over takes an afternoon, not a quarter.
