Feature pages tell you what a button does. Guides tell you how to run your business. Each guide is a numbered journey. It names the person who does each step, gives the order, and links to the feature page that explains the detail. New to TimeTracker? Start with the [quickstart](/getting-started/quickstart). It gets you to your first tracked hour in about ten minutes. Come back here when you are ready to run a full client job. ## Start here The whole chain, end to end. Client, project, budget, tasks, time, approval, invoice, payment. The order to do things in on day one so you do not have to redo them later. Pick a cutover date, decide what history to carry, and move without losing a week. What you can and cannot bring in, and the fastest manual path. ## Your weekly and monthly rhythm Fill on Friday, approve on Monday. The habit that keeps your data clean. Chase missing time, approve it all, close the period, invoice, reconcile. The fifteen minute weekly check that catches a project going under. ## Getting paid Turn task estimates into a quote, then turn approved time into a bill. A budget that resets every month, and what to do when a month runs over. Build the report your payroll provider actually wants, then send it monthly. ## Set up for your business Many clients, a delivery lead and a finance lead, and a client portal. One or two people. Skip what you do not need. Start free. Timezones, schedules and approvals that work without a shared office. ## People operations Invite, role, group, schedule, rates and first project in one sitting. The checklist that closes every door and strands nothing. When to use the Contractor role instead of Member, and how the margin works. ## How to read a guide Every guide follows the same shape. | Part | What it gives you | | ------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | | Plan and app requirements | What has to be switched on or paid for before the workflow works. | | Who does what | The role that performs each step. | | Numbered steps | The order, with a link to the full instructions for each one. | | A worked example | Real numbers from Northwind Studio, our example agency. | The examples all use the same cast, so numbers carry from one guide to the next. | Person | Role | What they do here | | ------------- | --------------- | -------------------------------------- | | Maya Ellis | Owner | Sets the workspace up. | | Tom Whitfield | Admin | Runs day to day operations. | | Priya Raman | Project Manager | Owns delivery and approves timesheets. | | Daniel Okafor | Finance | Sends invoices and records payments. | | Sarah Lin | Member | Senior designer.
