Hourly and fixed-fee projects
Use tracked work for hourly billing or keep ready-to-invoice value within the remaining agreed fee for fixed-fee work.
Project profitability and invoicing
Know what the project has earned before the invoice is late.
Aeglio connects project delivery with commercial progress, from the first time entry to the invoice and matched payment.
Built for
Owners, project leads and finance teams responsible for profitable client work.
Each role gets the context it needs without making employees navigate sensitive project financials.
How it works
One continuous process with a clear next step.
-
Set the project context
Choose the client, hourly or fixed-fee billing model, budget method, project tasks, members, managers and rates.
-
Record work and costs
Capture time against the correct task and connect relevant expenses to the project.
-
Watch commercial progress
Compare recorded time, budget use, billable value, invoiced value and the cumulative trend without treating every tracked hour as additional fixed-fee revenue.
-
Review work ready to invoice
Filter the exact uninvoiced period and inspect the value before opening an invoice.
-
Create and deliver the invoice
Start with the client and selected source work, then send by email or a supported e-invoice route.
-
Follow collection
Track reminders and payments, then connect the incoming bank transaction to the invoice.
The real Aeglio workflow
See budget, work and billing progress without changing screens.
The project overview combines decision-level KPIs with cumulative trends and expandable source tables. Authorized users see amounts, while regular employees keep a focused work view.
A practical example
A fixed-fee project has €5,000 left to invoice, even though more time has been recorded.
Separating delivery effort from the remaining commercial fee prevents tracked hours from overstating revenue and tells the project lead what can actually be invoiced next.

Useful capability at every handover.
Each stage uses records already reviewed in the previous stage, so context stays connected.
Billable and non-billable work
Keep delivery effort accurate without treating every recorded hour as client revenue.
Project-level economics
Review total time, budget remaining, billable value, invoiced amount and work ready to invoice.
Source-aware invoice creation
Use the selected project and period instead of reconstructing invoice context manually.
Invoice status consistency
See the same draft, sent, overdue, partially paid, paid and refunded states across Aeglio.
Permission-aware views
Employees can work on assigned projects without receiving the financial overview reserved for authorized roles.
Human control
Aeglio surfaces the numbers, but the team decides what is ready to bill.
Source records remain reviewable before invoicing. Project leads and finance users can resolve missing context, non-billable work or billing-period choices before anything reaches the client.
Questions about this workflow
- Does Aeglio calculate accounting profit?
- No. Project views show operational and commercial project economics. Statutory accounting profit remains in the accounting system.
- Can employees see project amounts?
- Only when their role and permissions allow it. Regular employees receive a safe view focused on their own work.
- How does fixed-fee work become ready to invoice?
- Aeglio uses the remaining agreed project value rather than multiplying every tracked hour by a rate. Hourly projects continue to use reviewed billable work.
- Can an invoice start from a project?
- Yes. A project action selects the client and project, while the ready-to-invoice flow can also carry the reviewed date period.
