CabuzTime Timekeeping for QuickBooks GovCon teams

CabuzTime

DCAA-aligned timekeeping for QuickBooks government contractors

CabuzTime gives small QuickBooks GovCon teams a daily labor system: authorized charge codes, employee certification, manager approval, correction history, labor reports, and QuickBooks-ready exports.

Daily entry keeps authorized charge codes, notes, holiday context, and pay-period totals in one screen.

Controlled timekeeping

Turn daily time entry into approved labor records.

CabuzTime gives teams a controlled timekeeping workflow: employees enter time each day, charge only authorized work, certify their timesheets, and managers approve or return corrections. Finance works from approved records with the history intact.

Entry evidence
Who entered time, when it was entered, and which charge code or cost objective was used.
Review evidence
Employee certification, manager approval, return/rejection history, and correction reasons.
Export evidence
Labor reports and payroll/accounting exports start from approved records.

Product workflow

One workflow from daily entry to export-ready labor records.

CabuzTime is designed around the routine work a small GovCon team needs every pay period, without forcing a heavyweight ERP process.

Setup

Configure employees, pay periods, jobs, projects, charge codes, and payroll mappings.

Admins set the operating structure before employees start charging time.

Authorization

Assign employees to allowed charge codes with effective dates.

Employees see the work they are allowed to charge for the relevant period.

Daily entry

Employees enter time each day against authorized charge codes.

Daily entry keeps missing days visible before payroll and reporting deadlines.

Certification

Employees certify and submit their timesheets.

The submitted record preserves employee attestation as part of the workflow.

Approval

Managers approve, reject, or return time for correction.

Review decisions stay attached to the timesheet record.

Corrections

Corrections preserve the history and reason.

Changes are visible as part of the audit-ready timekeeping record.

Outputs

Approved time flows to payroll, exports, and labor reports.

Finance works from approved source records instead of rebuilding time in spreadsheets.

Common questions

What teams ask before adopting CabuzTime.

Does CabuzTime replace QuickBooks?

No. QuickBooks remains the accounting system. CabuzTime controls daily labor entry, approval, corrections, reporting, and exports before approved records move to accounting.

Does CabuzTime support QuickBooks Online?

Yes. Once setup and mappings are in place, CabuzTime syncs approved time to QuickBooks Online.

Does CabuzTime support QuickBooks Desktop?

Yes. CabuzTime supports QuickBooks Desktop through an approved-time export workflow.

Does CabuzTime help with DCAA audit readiness?

Yes. CabuzTime is built to support DCAA-style timekeeping expectations: daily employee entry, employee certification, supervisor approval, controlled charge access, correction history, and exportable approved records. Audit outcomes still depend on your company's policies, setup, training, and accounting controls.

Where did CabuzTime come from?

CabuzTime builds on timekeeping experience that began with PTTimesheet in 2004, refocused for today's small GovCon teams: daily entry, approvals, corrections, reports, and QuickBooks-ready exports.

Is CabuzTime only for government contractors?

No. CabuzTime is useful for any company that wants controlled timekeeping records, manager approvals, correction history, and clean exports. Government contractors may care about the DCAA-oriented controls, but other teams can simply use them as reliable timekeeping structure.
