For auditors and accounting firms

The operations app for audit teams who still reconstruct the week’s hours from memory on a Friday.

Your team logs time against the engagement as the work happens — Inistate captures who did what, on which client, under which code, then routes the sheet for review before anything reaches an invoice. Start with timesheets. Add engagement budgets, expenses, and billing when you’re ready.

Free forever for small teams. No credit card required.

From an hour worked to an hour you can bill

Nobody reconstructs a week. Time lands on the engagement while the work is fresh, and every hour carries the trail that justifies it.

1. Time logged Your associate finishes fieldwork and logs hours against the engagement from their phone. Status Draft.
2. Week submitted Hours roll up per client, engagement, and task code. Status Submitted.
3. Manager reviews The manager checks hours against the engagement budget and queries anything odd on the same record. Status Approved.
4. Ready to bill Approved time moves to billing with the reasoning behind every line still attached. Status Billed.

Why recovery leaks before anyone notices

If your firm bills by the hour, you have written off every one of these — last quarter.

!

Friday is a memory exercise

Nobody logs as they go, so the week gets rebuilt from calendars and guesswork. Hours that really happened quietly disappear.

!

Budgets blow silently

You learn an engagement went over when the invoice is being drafted, not while there is still a week left to do something about it.

!

Approvals live in a reply thread

The manager approved those hours somewhere in email. When your own file is reviewed, there is nothing to point at.

!

One queried line costs a day

A client questions a single entry. Reconstructing who did the work, when, and why takes an afternoon you cannot bill.

What Inistate gives your firm instead

One timesheet workflow per engagement. One trail per hour. From logged to billed, nothing left to remember.

Logged where the work happens

On site, at the client, or at a desk. Same form on phone and browser, so time lands while the detail is still fresh.

🗂

Hours attach to the engagement

Every entry carries its client, engagement, and task code. No end-of-month exercise working out where the week went.

📉

Budget visible while it matters

The running total moves against the engagement budget as hours land, so overruns surface with time left to act on them.

👥

Review on the same record

The manager approves or queries on the form your associate filled. The question and the answer stay with the hour.

🧾

Straight through to billing

Approved time becomes billable time without a re-key. Every line on the invoice traces back to the entry behind it.

🔒

Audit-ready, by default

Every entry timestamped, every approval recorded. The firm that audits others can stand up its own file without a scramble.

Start with timesheets. Add the next when you’re ready.

Get hours landing accurately first — that is where recovery leaks. When your team is ready, the same engine runs your engagement budgets, expense claims, billing, and utilisation reporting on the same audit trail.

✓ Timesheets + Engagement budgets + Expense claims + Billing + Utilisation reporting + Leave and availability

Audit-grade by default — ISO/IEC 27001 certified.
