Daily entry
Employees enter time each day against authorized work instead of reconstructing labor at the end of the period.

DCAA-aligned timekeeping for government contractors
CabuzTime gives government contractors using QuickBooks® software a daily labor workflow with authorized charge codes, employee certification, manager approval, correction history, reports, and accounting handoff.
What matters
What teams should verify before sending time to QuickBooks software.
Certification and approval
Submitted timesheets keep employee attestation and manager review attached to the labor record.
Corrections and reports
Correction reasons, approval history, and labor reports stay reviewable before approved records move downstream.
Why the record holds up
Give reviewers a labor record they can follow.
CabuzTime keeps the daily timekeeping story attached to the record, so managers and finance are not reconstructing labor after the period closes.
- Daily, not reconstructed
- Time is entered against authorized charge codes each day instead of being rebuilt at period close.
- Attested and approved
- Employee attestation and manager review stay attached to every submitted timesheet.
- Corrections explained
- Each change keeps its reason, history, and before-and-after hours for later review.
- Accounting stays downstream
- Only reviewed labor moves into QuickBooks software, payroll, and reporting.
DCAA-aligned timekeeping starts before payroll.
For government contractors using QuickBooks software, the weak point is often not accounting, it is the labor record created before accounting receives anything. CabuzTime puts that record in a controlled daily workflow with allowed charge codes, employee entry, employee certification, manager review, and correction history.
That gives managers and finance a cleaner source of truth before payroll, reporting, or accounting handoff. The goal is to make timekeeping evidence part of everyday work, not a cleanup project after the pay period closes.
Send reviewed labor to accounting, not raw cleanup.
QuickBooks software remains the accounting system. CabuzTime sits upstream so teams can review labor charges, approvals, returns, and corrections before approved time is used downstream.
That separation helps reduce reliance on emails, spreadsheets, or undocumented after-the-fact edits when someone needs to explain how the final labor record was created.
Keep the evidence reviewers ask finance to explain.
A useful timekeeping workflow should show who entered time, what work was charged, when the record was submitted, who approved it, and why any correction changed the original entry. CabuzTime keeps those details close to the approved labor record so the team can review the story behind the numbers.
Common questions
Common DCAA-aligned timekeeping questions.
Can CabuzTime guarantee an audit outcome?
No software can guarantee a DCAA audit outcome. CabuzTime is DCAA-aligned and designed to support DCAA-style timekeeping expectations, but outcomes still depend on company policy, setup, training, and accounting controls.
Does CabuzTime replace QuickBooks software?
No. QuickBooks software remains the accounting system. CabuzTime creates the controlled labor record before approved time moves into accounting, payroll, reports, or export workflows.
What records should we review before handoff?
Review allowed charge access, daily entries, employee certifications, manager approvals, returned or rejected timesheets, correction reasons, and labor reports before relying on approved output.
