The accounting and budgeting of companies providing services depends a lot on their employees’ timesheets data. First of all, their main costs are the payment their employees receive per hour (for example) spent on a particular task. Second, a company usually needs to agree on a project price before the project starts, without exact knowledge on how much time will be actually spent on the project. Budgeting, therefore, plays a big role.
The timesheets data can serve both to calculate the actual costs and compare them to the budgeted project prices. The timesheets from different employees are likely to be stored on a shared and reliable space, such as, for example, Google Drive, or any other.
