The Problem

Most firms run three tools to do what one should.

A time tracker here. A CRM there. A project manager somewhere else. And a spreadsheet holding it together.

01

Time tracking that doesn’t talk to billing.

Hourly. Contract. Pro bono.
Pre-paid blocks. Most tools track one. You need all of them.

02

Client data split
across tools.

Your CRM doesn’t know your hours. Your time tracker doesn’t know your clients. Nothing talks to anything.

03

Reports you’re
building by hand.

Every week, someone exports a CSV, opens a spreadsheet, and builds what should be a one-click report.

Features

One platform. Every function your firm runs on.

Hourglass integrates the tools fractional firms need in one interface — instead of three subscriptions that don’t talk to each other.

Time Tracking

Three billing types, native — not workarounds. Hourly. Contract. Pro bono. Tracked against any client, project, or category. Designed for multi-person firms from the start.

Pre-Paid Block Management

Sell time in blocks. Hours subtract automatically as work gets logged. Low-balance alerts keep clients — and your team — ahead of the conversation.

Custom Reporting

Filter by user, client, project, category, or date. Export payroll-ready reports for ADP Run. No spreadsheet required.

free client portal

Free Client Portal

Your clients get their own login. They see their hours, run their own reports, and never get billed by us. Client portal seats are free. Unlimited.

Project & Task Management

Track projects and tasks alongside the hours that fund them. Full Trello-style expansion through 2026.

Why Hourglass

We built Hourglass because nothing else fit how our firms actually work.

Hourglass started as an internal tool at a marketing agency, became a design partner tool for a fractional CFO firm, and was rebuilt from the ground up as an operations platform after four years of real-world use. It’s opinionated about how fractional service firms run — because we’ve been using it to run ours.

One platform instead of three.

Most firms run time tracking, CRM, and project management as separate tools. Hourglass integrates all three — foundations are live today, with full expansion through 2026.

Free client access, not premium-priced client access.

Client portal seats are free. Unlimited. Your clients see their own data, run their own reports, and never get a bill from us.

Built for firms, not freelancers.

Role-based access controls, audit-ready reports, payroll-ready exports, pre-paid block tracking. The things you need when more than one person touches client hours and clients expect transparency.
