GoldFinch Timesheet Management helps organizations record, review, and analyze employee time on Salesforce. Time entries can be associated with projects and project tasks, giving project managers and finance teams greater visibility into the effort and labor costs involved in completing project work.
By connecting timesheets with project and financial information, organizations can reduce manual tracking, improve project-cost analysis, and maintain a more complete view of project performance.
Record employee time
Employees can record the time spent on projects and project tasks. Capturing time in a consistent format helps organizations understand where labor resources are being used.
Timesheet information may include:
- Employee or resource
- Work date or reporting period
- Project and project task
- Hours worked
- Description of the work performed
- Billable or nonbillable activity
- Timesheet status
This information provides a reliable record of project-related effort.
Connect time with projects and tasks
Time entries can be associated with the appropriate project or project task. This connection helps teams understand how much effort has been invested in each project, phase, milestone, or deliverable.
Project-related time visibility can help organizations:
- Monitor hours by project or task
- Compare planned and actual effort
- Identify activities requiring more time than expected
- Evaluate resource usage
- Support project costing and profitability analysis
- Provide supporting information for customer billing
Review and approve timesheets
Organizations can establish a review process appropriate to their management and control requirements. Supervisors or designated reviewers can confirm that submitted time is complete, accurate, and associated with the correct projects or tasks.
A structured review process helps:
- Improve the accuracy of recorded hours
- Identify incomplete or incorrectly classified entries
- Strengthen accountability
- Support consistent project reporting
- Prepare approved time for downstream financial or billing processes
Support project costing
Employee time represents an important part of project cost for service, installation, consulting, engineering, and other labor-intensive organizations.
GoldFinch can use project-related time information to help organizations analyze:
- Labor hours by project or task
- Labor effort by employee or team
- Budgeted versus actual hours
- Project labor costs
- Total project costs
- Project margins and profitability
This provides a more complete view of project performance than material or purchasing costs alone.
Support customer billing
When project agreements include billable time, approved timesheet information can support the customer-billing process. Associating time with projects and tasks improves traceability between the work performed and the amounts billed.
Timesheet data can help organizations:
- Identify billable project activity
- Organize time by project, task, or billing period
- Support time-and-material billing
- Review billable and nonbillable hours
- Provide clearer billing support
- Reduce missed or delayed billing
The billing approach can be adapted to the organization’s customer contracts and business processes.
Improve resource visibility
Timesheet reporting helps managers understand how employees use their time across projects and activities.
Organizations can analyze:
- Hours worked by employee
- Time spent by project or project task
- Billable and nonbillable activity
- Current and historical labor effort
- Projects consuming more resources than expected
- Work distribution across employees or teams
This visibility can support resource planning, project estimating, and management decisions.
Salesforce-native reporting
Because GoldFinch operates on Salesforce, authorized users can review timesheet information alongside projects, customers, billing, and financial data.
Salesforce reports, dashboards, and list views can help teams monitor:
- Submitted and outstanding timesheets
- Hours by employee, project, or task
- Billable and nonbillable hours
- Budgeted versus actual effort
- Labor cost by project
- Unbilled project time
- Project profitability
Reports can be adapted to different user roles and organizational requirements.
