Everything you need, in one place

Expenses & retainers makes sure the money you spend on a client's behalf comes back — captured with receipts, rebilled with a markup, and tracked against every retainer.

Receipts on every expense

Log an expense with amount, currency, category, and vendor, and attach the receipt for later.

Billable + markup

Mark an expense billable and add a markup percentage when you pass costs through.

One-click rebill

Select a client's billable expenses and rebill them to a draft invoice — each a line item, markup applied.

Never double-charged

Once an expense is billed it's flagged, so it can't sneak onto a second invoice.

Retainer drawdown

Set a project to retainer billing and watch hours used against hours included, with an over-retainer warning.

Automatic late fees

Charge a percentage or flat late fee after a grace period — applied to overdue invoices by the daily job.

How it works

Up and running in three steps

01

Capture the cost

Snap a receipt and log the expense against a project — mark it billable and set a markup in the same step.

02

Rebill in one click

Turn billable expenses into invoice lines with the markup already applied — no spreadsheet math.

03

Track every retainer

Hours and costs draw down against the retainer automatically, and overdue invoices accrue late fees on their own.

In depth

A closer look

01

Capture it once

Log an expense with its amount, currency, category, vendor, and receipt, and tie it to the client and project it belongs to. The receipt stays attached for later.

02

Rebill with markup

Mark an expense billable and add an optional markup. Select a client's billable expenses and rebill them to a draft invoice in one click — each as a line item, markup applied, never double-charged.

03

Retainers that draw down

Set a project to retainer billing and Kliently tracks hours used against hours included, with a clear warning the moment you go over for the period.

04

Late fees on autopilot

Turn on automatic late fees — a percentage of the amount due or a flat charge after a grace period — and the daily billing job applies them to overdue invoices for you.
