CabuzTime
CabuzTime helps small government contractors using QuickBooks control labor charging with authorized charge codes, daily time entry, employee certification, manager approval, correction history, labor reports, and payroll/accounting export readiness.
Labor control layer
QuickBooks is where finance manages accounting. CabuzTime sits around the daily labor workflow so employees charge only allowed work, certify their time, managers approve it, and finance exports approved records with the history attached.
Product workflow
CabuzTime is designed around the routine work a small GovCon team needs every pay period, without forcing a heavyweight ERP process.
Setup
Admins set the operating structure before employees start charging time.
Authorization
Employees see the work they are allowed to charge for the relevant period.
Daily entry
Daily entry keeps missing days visible before payroll and reporting deadlines.
Certification
The submitted record preserves employee attestation as part of the workflow.
Approval
Review decisions stay attached to the timesheet record.
Corrections
Changes are visible as part of the audit-ready timekeeping record.
Outputs
Finance works from approved source records instead of rebuilding time in spreadsheets.
Current launch surface
Admins can reach the core setup and reporting surfaces from the Time home area without switching systems.
Approved-record exports
Payroll and accounting export workflows are downstream of the CabuzTime approval record, including QuickBooks Desktop IIF where configured.
Built-in controls
CabuzTime focuses on the common workflow: enter, certify, approve, correct, report, and export.
Employees charge the jobs, projects, and labor categories admins assign for the relevant dates.
Daily entry and missing-day visibility keep pay periods from becoming end-of-week cleanup.
Employees certify their time before manager review and payroll/accounting output.
Managers approve, reject, or return timesheets while review history stays attached.
Corrections preserve the change reason and record history instead of silently overwriting time.
Approved records support labor reports and downstream payroll/accounting exports.
QuickBooks workflows
CabuzTime does not replace QuickBooks. It creates the approved labor record before finance moves time into accounting, payroll, or export workflows.
Time controls

Approved labor records
Configured paths
QuickBooks Online
Approved time can support a QuickBooks Online sync path after setup and mappings are in place.
QuickBooks Desktop
Approved time can support a Desktop file workflow when the account setup supports it.
Teams use the QuickBooks path that matches their accounting setup.
Who it fits
CabuzTime is for teams that need stronger labor controls, audit-ready records, approval history, correction history, labor reports, and export readiness without adopting a heavy GovCon ERP.
Common questions
No. QuickBooks remains the accounting system. CabuzTime controls daily labor entry, approval, corrections, reporting, and export readiness before approved records move downstream.
CabuzTime can support QuickBooks Online TimeActivity workflows where the account, mappings, and setup are configured for that path.
CabuzTime can support QuickBooks Desktop through IIF export workflows where the account setup and exact-name mappings support that path.
Use DCAA-aligned, audit-ready, or designed to support DCAA expectations. CabuzTime helps preserve daily entry, approvals, correction reasons, and approved-record exports, but no software can guarantee an audit outcome.
CabuzTime records daily time entry, admin-controlled charge access, approvals, correction reasons, and approved-record exports. Formal authorization evidence can be strengthened with Cabuz Workforce where enabled.
QuickBooks Online setup is designed around a single in-app sync path for approved time after connection and mapping. QuickBooks Desktop uses an IIF file workflow: CabuzTime prepares an IIF export for Desktop import where configured.
