Hourly invoicing, automated.

The problem

Why hourly billing breaks most invoicing tools

Hourly should be the most honest model. You did the hours, you bill the hours. But it only works if every hour actually makes it onto an invoice — and that's where it leaks. The hours get logged in one place (a timer, a PM tool, a timesheet). The invoice gets raised in another. Somebody has to pull the time, total it per client, format it, and send it — every single billing cycle. It's tedious, it's manual, and it's exactly the kind of job that slips.

Time that isn't logged becomes profitability fiction. Time that's logged but never billed is just gone. Do the math: a 10-person team at $150/hr losing 2 hours each per week is around $150k a year. That's a senior hire, leaked out the side. Harvest and the time-trackers are great at the timer half. But logging time and billing time are two different jobs, and most tools only really do the first. You still end up exporting a CSV and rebuilding the invoice by hand.

How Handl handles it

Handl reads the time straight out of your time tracker and turns it into a sent, chased, reconciled invoice — no export, no rebuild.

• Logged time becomes an invoice automatically

  Pull hours from Harvest, Toggl or Hubstaff, group by client, draft the invoice. You review, you send. Or you let it run.

• Catches the hours you're about to lose

  Handl flags logged-but-unbilled time before the cycle closes, so nothing falls through. The $150k doesn't leak.

• Bills against budget, not into the void

  See time logged vs budget vs invoiced per client in real time — so you know the job's actually profitable, not just busy.

• Reminds and reconciles

  The AI billing agent chases overdue hourly invoices on your schedule. Stripe payment reconciles back to Xero or MYOB on its own.

vs Harvest: Harvest tracks the time beautifully and then hands you back the boring part. Handl connects the hours your team logged to the money you're owed — and chases it when it's late. Tracking is table stakes. Getting paid is the job.
