Built for Financial Clarity & Operational Efficiency
With real-time financial insights and robust analytics, Sprout Keeper equips firms with the data-driven tools they need to streamline operations.
“Sprout Keeper delivers real-time insights into financial performance, enabling accounting firms, for instance, to make informed, data-driven decisions,” explained Geoffrey Ogang, Director of Finance at Sprout. “By using advanced reporting, firms can uncover cost-saving opportunities, optimize billing practices, and enhance their overall financial health.”
The advanced reporting and analytics functions provide a significant advantage in today’s competitive market.
Transforming Time Tracking & Billing
Sprout Keeper is an all-in-one platform that consolidates time tracking, billing, client management, project management, and financial reporting into one cohesive system. Its real-time time tracking feature lets employees quickly log hours and connect them directly to projects, ensuring that every billable hour is captured accurately.
In addition, Sprout Keeper enhances the billing process by providing customizable invoices, flexible billing models, and automated payment reminders. Meanwhile, the comprehensive client and project management tools allow firms to maintain detailed customer profiles, monitor project progress, track expenses, and manage resource allocation seamlessly.
For firms with multiple branches or international clients, Sprout Keeper supports multi-entity and multi-currency management. This capability benefits those seeking to scale their business without the administrative hurdles associated with expansion.
This is especially true for “time is money” organizations like law firms. “Sprout Keeper offers a comprehensive approach to legal billing and timekeeping, offering granular control over client and matter management. This will empower law firms to optimize their operations and focus on delivering exceptional client service,” said Atty Arlene De Castro, Managing Partner of De Castro Consulting, a Manila-based law firm specializing in strategic HR guidance and consultation.
For similar billable hour-focused firms, like Architecture and Design, tracking project management timelines and budgets is a must. “For the past five years, Sprout Keeper has been an invaluable financial, management, and business development tool for our firm,” said Stephen O’Dell, Founder and Director of SODA Thailand, an award-winning and internationally-recognized Architecture and Design firm based in Bangkok, with high-end projects across Thailand. “With Sprout Keeper, we’ve improved efficiency, tracked hours and fees precisely, and gained valuable insights for accurate projections and staffing allocations.”
