Location: LEAP Menu > Accounting > Reports > Management > Time & Fees Analysis

Purpose: The report provides a month-by-month analysis of Time and Fees recorded by staff, comparing monthly data from the selected year with the corresponding months in the previous year. It specifically focuses on three key metrics: Time Entered Hours, Time & Fees Invoiced, and Time & Fees Received.

By utilising bar charts and tables for visual clarity, the report highlights the variations and trends across these metrics over the two periods. This comparative analysis serves as a tool for decision-making related to staff productivity and overall fiscal performance.

Please be aware that the amount of Time and Fees Invoiced or Time and Fees Received does not include invoice/receipt reversals done after the 'As At Date'. This is particularly relevant when the 'As At Date' is not the current date. 

 

Example: 

Assume you invoiced €1,000 in professional fees (exclusive of tax) in March 2024 and reversed the invoice on 15 April 2024 (i.e., the reversal is dated in 15 April 2024). You generated the report on 31 April 2024. When the 'As At Date' is set to a date prior to 15 April 2024 (not current), the report calculates the March 2024 figure without considering the reversal. When the 'As At Date' is set to a date from 15 April 2024 onwards, the report calculates the March 2024 figure taking into account the reversal.
