Read the overview
Trakkar is time tracking, attendance and project software for Indian service businesses, priced in rupees. For a CA firm, it records the hours each partner, staff member and article assistant spends on each client, and keeps attendance plus leave, WFH and overtime approvals in one place through filing season. It also shows what each engagement has cost so far against the fee you agreed, for ₹120 per user per month plus GST, with a 14-day free trial and no credit card needed.
This page is for partners and office managers who want to see where staff hours go, client by client. It covers client-wise tracking in Trakkar, attendance in the busy months, the time records you get, the price, and when a CA practice tool is the better fit. It is product information, not tax or audit advice.

What a CA firm needs from time tracking software
A CA firm sells the time and judgment of trained people. That time is spread across many clients. Some of it is spent at the client's office, and filing deadlines pack a lot of it into a few heavy months. A partner wants plain answers: who worked on which client this week, which engagements are eating more hours than the fee allows, and who is on leave when the team is already stretched.
So the software should give you:
- Hours by client and engagement., not only hours by person.
- Attendance that works away from the office., because audit staff spend days at client sites.
- One place to approve leave, WFH and overtime., instead of requests piling up in WhatsApp during the busy months.
- A record you can go back to.when a client asks how the hours were spent.
- Pricing in rupees., without a dollar charge on your card.

Client-wise time tracking
In Trakkar, each client or engagement is a project. For example, "Statutory audit FY 2025-26" for one client, with its own tasks and team.
Staff attendance through the busy season
When returns and audits bunch up, you need to know who is in and who is on leave without calling around.
- Clock in from a phone.Staff clock in and request leave on the Android and iOS apps, so attendance sits next to their tracked time.
- Weak internet at a client site.If the connection drops, a running timer keeps going and the time syncs when you're back online. Screenshots pause while offline.
- One approval queue.Leave, WFH, time corrections, overtime and expenses all land in Time > Requests > To approve. Overdue requests come first, then the ones waiting longest.
- Approve from your phone.Managers can approve requests from the mobile app between client meetings.

If you train article assistants, note that ICAI's directions set their working hours at 35 hours a week excluding the lunch break, with up to 45 hours only in exceptional circumstances and compensatory leave for completed hours above 35 (ICAI announcement). Trakkar records attendance and hours. It does not check them against ICAI rules, so applying those rules stays with your firm.
Reviewing employee time records in a CA firm
If you're looking for employee time audit software, what a CA firm usually needs is hours it can go back to by person, client and engagement. In Trakkar, every session belongs to a person, a date, a project and a task. When a client questions the hours on an engagement, or a partner reviews how a job ran, you can see who worked on it and when.
- Corrections go through a manager.A change to someone's hours is a time correction request that their manager approves.
- Async standup.The daily standup fills in from yesterday's tasks and time, with blockers and nudges, so partners see progress without a morning call.
- Screenshots and app tracking can be turned off.Both run in the desktop app only and are on by default. With confidential client files on screen, you may prefer to turn them off for some people.
- Reports in CSV or PDF.Export reports to share with a partner or a client.
- Client portal.Clients can see their tasks and hours, and download invoices.

Trakkar has no general audit log and no locked timesheets. It is also not an audit documentation or working paper tool. Its records show who spent time on which client, and when, so you can review them. Keep your working papers where you keep them today. If you came here looking for time tracking for CPAs, the setup is the same: hours sit on the client and the engagement.
GST invoices and payments in the same tool
Invoicing is part of the same plan.
- GST tax invoices with the client's GSTIN and address, pulled from your client list in Finance > Clients. Each client record holds a contact person, email, phone, address, GSTIN or PAN, and bank details.
- One tax rate per invoice, picked from your saved rates.
- Invoice numbers use your prefix and a sequence that restarts each Indian financial year on 1 April.
- Record TDS when you log a payment.
- Track quotes until the client accepts them, and see which invoice each quote became.
- See unpaid invoices on your Finance overview, grouped by days late: 1-30, 31-60, 61-90 and 90+.

Trakkar doesn't turn tracked hours into invoice lines. You add the fee to each invoice yourself. It also doesn't file returns or keep your books.
Where Trakkar fits, and where it doesn't
Trakkar fits a CA firm that wants client-wise time, attendance, leave, engagement cost against fee, and GST invoices under one login and one rupee price.
A CA practice management tool is the better fit if your main need is a compliance due-date calendar, return status for every client, or GST data pulled in for each client entity. Trakkar doesn't do those. It also doesn't run salaries or stipends.

Frequently asked questions
Which time tracking software suits a CA firm in India?
It depends on the job you need done most. If you mainly need compliance due dates and return tracking for every client, look at a CA practice management tool. If you want client-wise time tracking, staff attendance, leave approvals, engagement cost against fee and GST invoices in one tool priced in rupees, Trakkar is built for that.
Can Trakkar track time client-wise?
Yes. Set up each client or engagement as a project with its own tasks. Staff track time against those tasks, so you can see hours and cost to date for each engagement.
Does Trakkar work for staff at a client's office?
Yes. Staff can clock in from the Android or iOS app. If the internet drops, a running timer keeps going and the time syncs when the connection is back.
How do leave approvals work in the busy season?
Staff request leave in Trakkar, and their manager approves it. Managers also approve time correction requests from their direct reports, so changes to hours don't get made quietly.
Can Trakkar timesheets be used as engagement records?
They show who worked on which client, task and date, and changes to hours go through a time correction request that a manager approves. Trakkar is not an audit documentation or working paper tool, and this is not audit advice.
Does Trakkar create GST invoices from timesheets?
No. Trakkar makes GST tax invoices with the client's GSTIN and one tax rate per invoice, and you can record TDS when you log a payment. Tracked hours don't flow into invoice lines, so you add the fee yourself.
How much does Trakkar cost for a CA firm?
Trakkar has one plan, Premium, at ₹120 per user per month plus GST. You pay upfront for 6 months at ₹114 or 12 months at ₹108 per user per month. A 10 person firm on a 12 month term pays ₹12,960 plus GST. There is a 14-day free trial with no credit card needed.
