Swiftime is AI-powered time tracking built for accountants and bookkeepers who juggle many client engagements and need to capture every billable task without breaking their workflow. Instead of filling in timesheets at the end of the day, you describe what you did in plain language — "monthly bookkeeping for Maple Cafe, 2 hours" — and Swiftime turns it into a structured, billable entry with the client, engagement, and duration already filled in.
Most billable time isn't lost to a lack of effort — it's lost to delay. When accountants and bookkeepers reconstruct their hours days later, short tasks like a five-minute client call, a quick reconciliation, or a bank feed cleanup get rounded down or forgotten entirely. The problem intensifies during busy season, when work moves fast across dozens of clients and there's no time to stop and write a timesheet. Across a practice, that unrecorded time adds up to a meaningful share of revenue every month. Contemporaneous time entry — logging work the moment it happens — is the most reliable way to recover it, but traditional timers and spreadsheets are too slow to use in the middle of a tax return or a month-end close. Swiftime removes that friction so there's no reason to put entry off until the detail has already faded.
With Swiftime, you log time the way you'd describe it to a colleague. Type or speak a short note — "2h tax prep and review for Riverside Dental" or "20min payroll question call with Acme Retail" — and the AI extracts the client, the engagement, the duration, and a clean description automatically. There are no dropdowns to navigate or timers to remember to start and stop, so even the small tasks that normally slip through get recorded. Entries can be logged from any device, whether you're at your desk, at a client's office, or between appointments, so contemporaneous billing fits the way accountants and bookkeepers actually work day to day.
Every entry is organized by client and project, so you can see exactly where your hours are going and bill each engagement accurately. Swiftime's dashboard breaks down time across clients and engagements — bookkeeping, tax prep, payroll, advisory — and its AI-generated daily summaries give you an end-of-day recap that's ready for billing review. For multi-person firms, team members can be invited with access to specific clients and engagements, keeping each person's time both private and properly attributed to the right client. The result is cleaner invoices, fewer write-offs, and a clearer picture of which clients and services are actually profitable.
Swiftime lets accountants and bookkeepers log time in plain language — typed or spoken — and uses AI to turn it into a structured billable entry with the client, engagement, duration, and description filled in. Because capturing an entry takes only a sentence, you can record work the moment it happens instead of reconstructing it later, which is when billable time is most often lost.
