ChronoBeans came about as a result of observing my wife, an independent graphic designer and marketing consultant, deal with the frustrating monthly process of documenting work logs and creating invoices for clients. I would watch her spending hours piecing together notes and emails to create detailed logs for clients, and then total up billable time to create the invoice. None of this effort could be billed to the client and was lost time. While her level of work log detail was in my opinion a little overboard, it no doubt benefited her customers and clearly showed her billing was ethical. Because of the time involved and nature of this end-of-month task it was often pushed off, resulted in delayed billing and therefore longer delays in getting paid.
