Time & Budgets is now active in every Karbon account on Business or Enterprise plans.

Time & Budgets is the biggest Karbon update yet, and allows you to manage estimates, actuals, timesheets and analysis in the same place as your work and collaboration.

Because Time & Budgets is embedded in your workflow, it unlocks hidden profitability for your firm. Compare your budgets against actual progress already occurring in Karbon. Identify your most (or least) effective clients and staff members. Use automatic time-entry suggestions based on the activities Karbon already tracks. And lots more.

To make it easy for you to begin using this new functionality you can refer to these resources and frequently asked questions.
