Bigtime Software Inc

What It Does

BigTime is professional-services automation (PSA) software: time tracking, expense capture, billing and invoicing, project management, and resource planning. It is built for professional-services firms generally — accounting, consulting, engineering, IT, architecture, and marketing agencies — not specifically for law firms.

It is a horizontal billing-and-time tool rather than a legal-practice platform. There is no matter management, conflict checking, trust accounting, court-filing, or document automation aimed at legal work. A small firm that bills by the hour could in principle use it for time and invoicing, but it competes with general PSA tools, not with legal practice-management systems.

What We Found

The company was founded in 2002 by Brian Saunders and is headquartered in Chicago, with additional offices reported in Phoenix, Boston, and Poland. It maintains deep integrations with QuickBooks (Online and Desktop) and the Intuit Enterprise Suite, with claimed connections to Sage Intacct, Salesforce, Jira, and Zapier. The product carries a substantial review base on G2 and other software-review sites in the time-tracking and PSA categories.

Who It’s For — Persona Workflows

Solo / Small Firm (billing & time only)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Workflow fit: Time tracking → expense → invoicing. Possible for an
              hourly-billing firm, but it's a general PSA tool with no
              legal-specific features (no trust accounting, no matters).

Mid-size / Large Firm / BigLaw
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Workflow fit: Not designed for legal practice. Firms at this size use
              dedicated legal billing/practice-management systems.
