How we think about itPro
Know which work is worth doing
Billable totals, internal cost, margins, and budgets tied to the boards where work happens — so you stop rebuilding the same numbers in a spreadsheet every Friday.
Live example: A live board Costs tab
Change hours or bill rate on a card. Billable, margin, and budget update from the same local dataset.

Into invoicing
When work is ready to bill, Saku Invoicing keeps the same client story.
Rates once, reuse them everywhere
Define default bill rates for a board and override per member when someone’s commercial terms differ. When people log time on cards, those rates estimate the customer-facing billable position as the month progresses.
On Pro and Max you can turn on a customer-facing view of estimated billable work. Clients see enough to trust the engagement; they do not see internal cost or margin unless you explicitly expose that on Max for trusted collaborators.
Keep internal reality separate when you need to
Max adds internal cost, margin, budgets, and alerts so you can watch spend against a ceiling while still talking to the customer in billable language. That split matters for fixed-fee, blended rate, or mixed senior and junior time on one board.
Organisation-level rollups and CSV export on Max help you answer finance without manually stitching boards together. When the work is ready to bill, Saku Invoicing keeps invoice and payment status connected to the same customer story.
