Those ‘in the know’ will be aware that I have decided to use adderuppa.com for client billing and time management. Everyone in the consultancy/freelance industry will at some time or another face the problem of client billings and how to track and record time effectively. There are literally hundreds if not thousands of apps out there to help you. I chose adderuppa.com because I know of Anthonys work and trusted his code.

I am extremely happy I did, after sending some brief feedback to Anthony Manning the developer over in Cornwall I got an email back within a few hours. Not only had he taken on board what I had said, but acted on it and implemented the changes.

As a result I now am proud to offer per second billing increments. That means you will not be charged for a single second more than the time you have used. If you do not understand or appreciate the implications of this allow me to elaborate. When you hire a VA, Consultant, Lawyer, Accountant, Architect or Freelancer you will usually be billed on a time/hourly basis, or billable time. When this is the case there will be billing increments and usually your expert in the field will use 15 or 20 minute increments.

So ask your virtual assistant to do a simple task that takes 3 minutes and you are likely to be billed for 15.

I had expected to offer per minute billing, however the changes ANthony made I will be billing to the second!
