Best time tracker for accountants!

Reviewed on 2023/12/28

Pros

As accountant constantly juggling multiple tasks, among the plethora of options available, Uku stands out as an exemplary solution that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of accountants. It its intuitive and user-friendly interface. The program has been thoughtfully designed with accountants in mind, ensuring that even those with limited technological proficiency can navigate seamlessly. I love how Uku keeps developing and how they always work out new solutions.

Cons

Although it is quite simple to use, it will take some time to get used to the timer. You will have keep in mind to start it and make sure that there isn't a timer that is already running.

UKU is simple to use.

Reviewed on 2022/11/15

Pros

Each task can be shared between several people.The tasks can be "forwarded" to another person to be done.It's free to make the tasks because there is no limit to the number of tasks.The tasks can be grouped by the topic.Tasks can be grouped by customer and by task similarity. It help to organise my daily working.

Cons

It is easy to forget the timing to run.

Response from Artify

Thank you for the feedback, Eha.

It's fantastic that you can operate Uku's dashboard precisely to your needs.

Try Mini-Uku - you can see Uku all the time in the browser window and will remember to press the stopwatch. Activate Mini-Uku from the Uku App Store.

I installed Uku plugin to my browser and finally keep up with tracking all my tasks. You can just switch it on and off from the extension and change tasks on the go. I even track quickly replying emails or phone calls. It’s awesome productivity booster!

Pros

Super easy to use, intuitive and looks good. Tracking different tasks is very, very easy.

Cons

I needed it for time tracking and waiting for email integration.

We looked for an adequate practice management solution for years. Uku was the answer to all our problems and it works for both the accountants and the management. We needed to get a company-wide overview of all our tasks - whether they’re in progress, completed or overdue. Before Uku, the accountants had this information themselves, but the managers couldn’t monitor the performance in real time. On the management side, we also needed to know how much time was really spent on different tasks to price services accordingly. Uku has helped us up our service quality, always deliver work on time and increase profitability.

Pros

It helped us get rid of guessing games, countless (and off sync) spreadsheets, forgetting, and chaos. Now we really know who’s working on what and when it’s due. We can prevent delays and be sure of our overall service quality.

Cons

Once you’re set up, there’s nothing I don’t like.

Before Uku, we were totally in the dark about our work. Now all the knowledge is just a couple of clicks away.

Pros

Uku has given our company data which we use monthly to make our pricing decisions.

Cons

Uku can always be improved and improvements take time - world is changing fast as well as the regulations on the accounting market. The good thing about Uku's team is that they really make an effort to see their clients perspectives and implement useful features.

Response from Artify

Thank you very much, Jaanus, for the feedback.

You have taken CHK very far in terms of efficiency. It has been a pleasure to develop and improve Uku with you. The input provided by CHK to Uku has been invaluable.

At Uku, we consider fair pricing of accounting services necessary, and we are glad that you have gained a good insight into the time consumption of your work with Uku.

Reviewed on 2024/04/22

Pros

The ease of use and implementation. Many other products either require an additional software or is purchased and not used because it’s time consuming to implement.

Cons

Nothing thus far. I will continue to use it outside of busy season but ended up helping me organize last minute very quickly which accountants often do.

We’ve used Uku for several years and it totally changed the way we work and price our services. The software itself has changed a lot over time, e.g. importing customers and other data has become much easier, also love the browser extension. Our whole team uses it and it really gives ownership over your tasks. It also makes delegating and balancing work simple and transparent. I can’t recommend it enough.

Pros

Uku is simple and intuitive and covers anything we might need from a work management system - from tracking time and managing tasks to billing. It has increased efficiency and visibility throughout our team.

Cons

The old Uku took some time to get used to. Thankfully the software has evolved a lot and many problems have been solved over time. On the upside, Uku team listenes to users feedback and tries to solve problems as fast as possible.

Response from Artify

Thanks for your valuable feedback. At the moment, it is possible to create a task template if you have the appropriate rights. This way, you can add the same tasks to many clients. Check out our help center or contact customer support to learn how.

When adding a new task, you can copy them by writing the same title for a new task, and Uku offers a pre-created task with pre-filled fields.

We are happy to make your ideas a reality. If you have other good ideas, please post them: https://uku.nolt.io/roadmap
