Approved hours
Compare approved time against the hours that made it into billing.
Rate Ops reviews a recent period of approved timesheets, client rate cards, and invoices. You get a clear view of where billing may have fallen short before you change anything.
Start a Rate Ops review →No system connection. No automated billing. A practical, human-reviewed starting point for your agency.
The aim is not to replace your billing team. It is to give that team a focused list of items that deserve a second look.
Compare approved time against the hours that made it into billing.
Check regular, overtime, and other bill rates against the relevant rate card.
Trace the reviewed item to its invoice record or flag it as needing investigation.
Present findings for your approval. Nothing is sent or changed without your team.
A concise review surfaces the line items that need an owner’s attention, rather than adding another dashboard.

Your findings depend on your own exports, rate cards, and a human review. This example only shows the format of a review.
We agree on the small set of exports needed for a review, usually timesheets, invoices, and rate information.
We reconcile the files and organize the items that need verification by someone who knows the account.
You receive the findings. Your team decides what to correct, invoice, follow up on, or leave alone.
