How Priority Designs Recovered $50K in Annual Revenue with BigTime Delivery
“[Prior to BigTime] I was spending so much time in the weeds trying to make sure that each project ran successfully, but I didn’t have time to actually do CFO things. PMs didn’t feel like they had the ability to be good project managers because they weren’t comfortable with the information they were getting.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Does BigTime’s QuickBooks integration sync in both directions?
Yes. Unlike basic time clock integrations that only push hours out for payroll, BigTime syncs time, project, and billing data both ways — so budgets, invoices, and utilization stay current on both sides.
Does BigTime work with QuickBooks Desktop, or only QuickBooks Online?
Both. BigTime connects natively to QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop, so switching time tracking tools doesn’t mean switching your accounting setup.
Can time tracked in BigTime support different billing models, not just hourly?
Yes. Approved time flows into hourly, T&M, fixed-fee, retainer, or blended billing — not just a basic hours-to-invoice conversion.
Can my team track time in the field, without an internet connection?
Yes. BigTime’s mobile app lets field staff, consultants, and technical teams log time from anywhere, with entries syncing once they’re back online.
Is tracked time tied to project budgets, or just payroll hours?
Both. Every entry updates real-time budget vs. actual and utilization — not just a payroll total — so you see margin impact as it happens, not at month-end.
Does BigTime support audit trails for compliance-sensitive time tracking (e.g., government contracts)?
Yes. BigTime maintains a full audit trail on every time entry, supporting the documentation standards firms working on federally funded or compliance-sensitive projects require.
