Time, Projects & CPD
Project time tracking and CPD records for professional services
Give your team a straightforward way to record their work and professional development, with clearer information for the people managing it.
NexaSquared brings customer projects, tasks, time recording and continuing professional development into one platform. Manage projects through the web interface, let employees record time through the mobile app, and review how hours are spent across customer work.
Keep training and CPD activity alongside your team’s working records, so professional development has a clear place in your business.
Time & Projects
Organise work around your customers
Create customer projects and define the tasks involved, giving your team a clear structure for recording their work. From monthly accounts and payroll processing to consultancy assignments, keep time connected to the work it represents.
Make time recording part of the working day
Employees can select an assigned project and task through the NexaSquared app and record the time they spend working. Managers organise projects through the web interface, while employees have a practical way to capture their activity during the day.
Understand where project hours go
Review recorded time by project and task to understand how your team’s hours have been spent. Use project reports to support discussions about workload and customer assignments.
Manage rates for the work being delivered
Manage employee and task charge-out rates through the web interface, with changes taking effect from the relevant date. Charge-out rates are distinct from employee pay and internal labour costs.
Choose the right report for the audience
Choose the appropriate customer or internal report through the web interface, with summary and detailed views. Customer reports do not expose internal labour costs or margins.
Connect task requirements with qualification records
Set qualification requirements for tasks and use recorded qualification information to support eligibility checks.
Training & CPD
Give professional development a clear place in your records
Keep a record of training activities and the time invested in continuing professional development. Employees can record their learning activity, while managers have a clearer view of the development recorded across their team.
Whether someone attends a professional update, completes training or takes part in another development activity, NexaSquared helps keep the record organised alongside everyday work.
Supports your firm’s training, qualification and CPD recordkeeping.
Keep development goals in view
Set CPD targets and review recorded progress.
Keep supporting records together
Keep supporting certificates, achievement dates and applicable expiry dates with your development records.
Keep upcoming renewals in view
Where enabled, email reminders for recorded CPD expiry dates can be sent from 14 calendar days before expiry, with catch-up reminders within that period. Eligible recipients include the employee and, where configured, their manager or training contact.
Customer work and development in an accountancy practice
A manager creates a customer project for monthly accounts and defines the relevant tasks. Employees record their time against those tasks, and the manager reviews the project report to understand where the hours went.
Separately, an employee records time spent attending a professional development session in Training & CPD.
The practice has a clearer record of time spent on customer work and time invested in staff development.
Illustrative example.
Common questions
How does project time recording differ from employee timesheets?
Project time recording helps you understand work by customer, project and task. Employee timesheets provide a record of working time. A demonstration can show how the available workflows fit your team’s way of working.
Can employees record project time through the mobile app?
Yes. Employees can use the NexaSquared app to select an assigned project and task and record their time, subject to the access available to their account.
Can managers review time by project and task?
Yes. Project reports help managers review recorded time and understand how hours have been spent across the work being delivered.
What training and CPD information can employees record?
Employees can record training and CPD activity and the time spent on it, helping maintain an organised history of professional development. Supporting records can include certificates, achievement dates and applicable expiry dates. CPD targets help teams review recorded progress.
