How do you recognize revenue?

You pick a method per project. Worked revenue counts hours times the sell rate. Time completion takes a share of the budget as hours get logged. You can also enter amounts by hand each month, or adjust the worked figure for a month.

Yes. Turn a project into a retainer and set a budget for hours, fees and costs. You get a fresh budget every period, plus tasks that repeat each time.

Which billing models can I use?

Fixed price, time and materials, and capped time and materials, alongside retainers. You can mix them across clients and set rates by role, project or client.

Do overheads count toward cost?

Yes. Add rent, software and other overheads, choose who carries them, and we spread them into each person's hourly cost, so your margin reflects the full cost of delivery.

Can I invoice in another currency?

Yes. You can bill in more than 20 currencies, and your reports roll everything up in your workspace currency.

Do you work with my accounting software?

Yes. Connect QuickBooks, Xero or e-conomic to bring in customers and products, and send the invoices you create in Pike straight to your books.
