Fractional CFOs, legal counsel, ops and marketing leads run five clients on five different arrangements — retainer here, pre-paid hours there, straight hourly somewhere else. Timebun tracks each one on its own terms, and gives every client a portal to see where they stand, so you're not the one answering "how many hours do we have left" by email.
One client's on a 20-hour monthly retainer, another pre-paid a 40-hour bundle, a third is straight hourly. Generic time trackers treat all of it the same — so the balance-tracking ends up bolted on in a spreadsheet, by hand.
Without a place for clients to check their own balance, that question arrives by email — and someone on your side has to go look it up, every time, for every client.
When your own time is the product, knowing which clients are actually worth the hours matters. A blended hourly rate across every client hides which relationships are profitable and which are quietly costing you.
Set up a monthly retainer for one client, a pre-paid hour bundle for another, and a plain hourly rate with an overage price for a third — all in the same workspace, each billed exactly the way you quoted it.
Every client gets their own branded login: balance, burn-down, invoices, and a top-up button. The question "how many hours are left" answers itself, without you in the loop.
Every entry snapshots what it billed at and what it cost, at the time the work happened. See which clients are actually worth the hours — without exposing anyone's pay rate to the team pricing the work.
Lev Legal sells retainers and blocks of hours to law firms. In Timebun each law firm has its own retainer and its own balance, with rollover set on each plan, not one blended pool.
Each law firm gets its own login to check hours remaining, the work behind them and past invoices. Nobody has to look the balance up and reply by email.
When a law firm is close to running out, Timebun emails a warning, and the portal lets the firm buy the next block itself. No invoice back-and-forth to renew.
"We can finally sell retainers and packs of hours — and our clients can see exactly where they stand."
