This enables you to identify inefficiencies, track expenses, and improve your firm’s overall productivity. The easy-to-read grid displays total hours by day for all staff members over a select period, as well as dollar production totals at standard rates.

But That’s Not All…

  • Report write-up/write-down by client, activity, or employee for analytics.

Mango easily integrates with QuickBooks and their popular accounting software applications, so you can quickly carry over all your existing client data and get started right away using the accounting features you love. Even if you have years of records archived, Mango can help you take full advantage of our QuickBooks accounting program integration.

As an accounting firm, time is one thing you can’t afford to waste or lose track of.

The time you spend rendering services for clients is the lifeblood of your business. Yet too many accounting firms and their team members spend precious hours tinkering with time reports, porting numbers from one place to another, or finishing repetitive data entry required for client billing.

That’s why it’s so important to have the right time and billing software for accountants at your side. Mango’s robust suite of time tracking and billing tools is here to take some of the administrative load off your plate for an all-in-one accounting solution.

Instead of stressing about how your team is managing their weekly time card or manually starting invoice creation, let Mango's powerful accounting firm time and billing software automate these accounting processes for you. With our comprehensive billing, invoicing software, and time entry tools, you can ensure your team is focused on their work, not the clock, and that you’re maximizing every hour of the limited time you have available for clients.
