Live reporting

Billable hours, recorded value and utilisation update in real time. Filter by fee earner, client, date or activity.

Invoicing

Draft invoices from unbilled time with VAT applied, on a recurring schedule if you want, and pushed to QuickBooks.

Contact management

Clients, matters and every related party in one register, with the relationships between them recorded properly.

Companies House built in

Live company search, registered details filled in for you, and the current directors pulled through with them.

Email invoice scanning

Posttime searches your mailbox for invoice and receipt attachments and lists them for you to approve before anything is filed.

Document management

Every document filed against the client, matter or party it belongs to, shareable to the client portal and signable online.

Custom data

Define your own tabs and fields on clients, parties and people, so the system holds what your firm actually tracks.

Roles & permissions

Give fee earners, supervisors and finance exactly the access they need.

  • Fee earner Record and view own time
  • Supervisor Approve and reassign
  • Finance Post, bill and write off
  • Partner Firm-wide reporting

HR & leave

Book holiday, track sickness and approve requests in the same system your team already uses, with capacity next to billable targets.

  • Annual leave Balances and carry-over
  • Sickness Logged against the record
  • Requests Approved in one click

AutoBank reads your bank feed and does the bookkeeping

Import the statement and Posttime codes it, tracks the balance, and works out which invoices have actually been paid.

  • Learns how you code each payee, then codes it that way next time
  • Matches a credit to the invoice named in its reference and marks it paid
  • Matches debits against your receipts and supplier invoices
  • Suggestions are always suggestions. Nothing posts until you say so

Getting you ready for Making Tax Digital

MTD for Income Tax replaces the annual return with quarterly updates. The work is the record keeping, and that is the part Posttime already does.

From April 2026

Self-employed and landlord income over £50,000

Quarterly updates to HMRC, then a final declaration after the year end. Digital records are mandatory, not optional.

From April 2027

Income over £30,000

The same obligations, one year later. The threshold drops again to £20,000 from April 2028.

Posttime's HMRC connection is built and tested against HMRC's sandbox. It is not yet approved for live submission, so treat it as coming rather than here. What is ready today is the thing that takes the time: categorised bank data, receipts and invoices filed against the right period.

Up and running the same afternoon

Add your team and clients

Invite fee earners, set charge-out rates and import your client list. Companies House lookup does the typing for you.

Record time as you work

Everyone logs time from the browser, at their desk, on a client site or at home. Activity types and rates are applied automatically.

Report and bill

Review recorded value, approve entries and generate invoices that flow straight into QuickBooks and your spreadsheets.

Time entry

Capture billable time without breaking your stride

A single, focused screen for logging work. Pick the client, choose the activity, and let Posttime round to your firm's units and apply the right rate every time.

  • Start and stop a timer, or enter minutes directly
  • Fixed-fee and chargeable activities side by side
  • Running totals, so your 7-hour day is never a guess

From recorded time to paid invoice

Posttime gathers unbilled time per client, builds a draft invoice with VAT calculated for you, and posts it to QuickBooks Online. Finance gets clean numbers; fee earners get their evenings back.

  • Automatic VAT and disbursements
  • Part-billing and write-offs handled cleanly
  • One-click push to QuickBooks Online

Add a new client in seconds, straight from Companies House

Start typing a company name and Posttime searches Companies House live. Pick the right match and the registered name, number and office address are filled in for you.

  • Live search as you type
  • Name, number and office auto-filled
  • Fewer typos, cleaner invoices

Do we need to install anything?

No. Posttime runs entirely in the browser, so your team can record time from the office, a client site or home on any device. There is nothing to install or update.

Can we export to our accounts package?

Yes. Posttime posts draft invoices directly to QuickBooks Online and exports timesheets and reports to spreadsheets for everything else.

What kind of firms is it for?

Any firm that bills for its time. Accountants, bookkeepers, consultants and surveyors all get on well with Posttime. If you record time and raise invoices, it is built for you.

Where is our data stored?

Your data is held securely in the cloud with encryption in transit, and access controlled by role-based permissions. See our Security and data protection page for detail.
