PROJECT AND FINANCE REVIEW · Workflow idea

Keep project records and billing details accurate before they affect a client.

For an authorized project or finance request, review the relevant client, project, time, task, expense, estimate, and invoice records. Check dates, amounts, billable status, and ownership against source documentation, protect employee and client details, and require a finance or project owner to approve billing changes, time edits, and record removals before they are applied.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

Approved client, project, time, and billing records for the assigned team

“Prepare accurate project and billing records without changing hours, expenses, or client charges without review.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps teams review project administration, time records, expenses, estimates, and invoices before updates or client-facing use.

  1. Confirm the client, project, and reviewer role

    Verify the request belongs to the assigned work and the person may access it.

  2. Review time, task, and expense details

    Check dates, duration, amounts, and billable status against approved records.

  3. Compare estimates and invoices with source documents

    Flag mismatched totals, missing approvals, or unclear client charges.

  4. Prepare a proposed correction or billing draft

    Keep the original values and supporting rationale available for comparison.

  5. Approve before finalizing financial changes

    Require a finance or project owner to confirm edits, removals, and client-facing amounts.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A checked project or finance record with supporting details, noted discrepancies, and owner approval status.

Keep in mind

Time and billing records can affect compensation, financial reporting, and client charges. Compare values with approved source material, minimize employee and client data, preserve an audit trail, and require an authorized finance or project owner to approve edits, deletions, and billing documents before they are finalized.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Separate project and finance permissions

Limit access to client, time, expense, and billing details by role.

Document time and billing policies

Set rules for billable hours, expense evidence, estimates, and invoice review.

Keep supporting records and change history

Retain the approved evidence needed to explain a time or billing adjustment.

Assign owners for financial approval

Name who authorizes edits, deletions, estimates, and invoice release.
