Now, <a href="http://www.twopeaks.com/site/">Two Peaks Software</a> offers its new BillRate application, which includes a critical feature that's lacking in the others I've tried: desktop synchronization.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/adrian/billrate.gif" /><br /><br />"BillRate ensures that the time you spend on various projects is accurately accounted, billed, and compensated for. Having it installed on your Pocket PC helps you create entries whether you work from your home, office, client site or on the road. With the many useful features and constantly added new functionality, BillRate hopes to make your job as a consultant more efficient and productive."<br /><br />Features include:<br /><br />• Track the three most important components of any consulting project: Time, Expenses and Mileage. <br />• Organize entries by Clients and Projects, including detailed information about each client and project. <br />• Classify items as billable or non-billable, and track the status for each entry (billed, not-billed, paid etc.) <br />• Sync all your information with the full-featured Desktop Edition of BillRate for maximum ease of use whether you're at your desk or on the road. <br />• Export your information to Microsoft Excel or XML formats (additional export options including QuickBooks coming soon). <br />• One-touch access to summary info showing a quick overview of billable and non-billable activities, amount earned, due and paid and more. <br />• Modern, professional and intuitive user-interface on both the Pocket PC and Desktop Edition incorporating the latest "Office 2003" look and feel with many customization options. <br />• Designed for consultants, by consultants! BillRate is designed and developed jointly with Two Peaks' team of professional consultants who are committed to making this a constantly improving, daily-use product. <br /><br />You can download a free 14-day trial version or purchase the full version <a href="http://www.handango.com/brainstore/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=311&productId=96451">here</a>.
