I am looking at possibly switching to Books from Intacct and I suppose using Zoho for time entry as well. At first, I was worried about having all of our stuff in one place, but it would be easier.

The feedback that I got from employees testing Zoho made it seem like it was a bit tedious to use the time entry function because you had to enter time as it's broken down in the project, so, for example, if you have an 8 hour day split into 12 tasks you have to enter time for those 12 tasks vs just entering 8 hours for Project X. I haven't looked at the entire lifecycle of this process, so perhaps there is a way to change this? What we need is detailed info to give client reports which we get from Projects, time and expense entry that can be invoiced (this does not need to be as detailed- 40 hours this week, $200 expenses, Resource A, Project X is plenty), and then have all of this feed into our accounting system and allocate to each department/GL account.
