A timesheet app for QuickBooks Online users in the UK. Staff clock in and out on their phones, managers approve the timesheets, and TimeTally posts the approved wages to QuickBooks as a journal entry in one click. No re-typing totals into your books.
QuickBooks Time (formerly TSheets) is sold as a separate subscription priced in US dollars, with a monthly base fee plus a charge per user (its own pricing page, October 2026). UK employers paying staff by the hour usually want something simpler and priced in pounds.

From clock-in to a journal entry in QuickBooks in four steps.
Staff clock in and out on the iOS or Android app, or enter hours on the web.
Managers get an email when a timesheet is submitted and approve it in TimeTally, one at a time or with Approve All.
Once exported, a timesheet is locked, so the same hours can't be posted twice.
Select the pay period and click export. The approved wages post to QuickBooks as one journal entry.
At the end of each pay period, select the period and click export. TimeTally prices only approved timesheets and paid leave at each person's rates, overtime included, and posts the total to QuickBooks as one journal entry. Your books show the wages you actually owe.
Unapproved timesheets are never included. What goes to QuickBooks has been manager-approved.
TimeTally prices regular and overtime hours at your rates before the export, and the export history shows each person's split.
The wages total goes from approved timesheets to QuickBooks without anyone typing it twice.
On Xero? The Xero timesheet integration works the same way. Weighing up QuickBooks Time itself? See TimeTally vs QuickBooks Time.
The QuickBooks integration is one part of TimeTally. The rest is built for UK employment law.
Employees submit hours each week. Managers approve in one click.
Track annual leave, sick days, TOIL, and all UK leave types alongside timesheets.
Clock-in times, approvals and changes to timesheets and leave are kept, so you can show the hours you paid for.
See who's off at a glance. Manage cover and avoid clashes before approving leave.
Track regular and overtime hours separately. TOIL accrual handled automatically.
See who hasn't submitted before you export, so a missing week is caught before payroll, not after.
QuickBooks integration, holiday tracking, timesheets — all in one price.
Billed monthly. Cancel anytime. No setup fee.
Yes. An admin connects your QuickBooks Online company once from Settings → Pay. When you export a pay period, TimeTally creates a journal entry in QuickBooks through its accounting API: gross wages for the approved timesheets and paid leave are debited to your wages expense account and credited to net wages payable. Nobody types the totals in again.
Yes. TimeTally connects to QuickBooks Online, including UK companies. It doesn't connect to QuickBooks Desktop. Everything on the TimeTally side is built for UK employers: statutory holiday entitlement, bank holidays, overtime and TOIL.
QuickBooks Time (formerly TSheets) is priced for the US market: a monthly base fee plus a per-user charge in US dollars on its own pricing page (checked October 2026). TimeTally is built for UK employers: UK statutory leave and bank holidays, overtime and TOIL rules, and pricing in pounds with no per-admin fees. It integrates with QuickBooks UK the same way — but fits UK employment law.
One journal entry per export, dated the last day of the period with the note 'Payroll - Week ending …'. It debits your wages expense account with the gross wages TimeTally worked out from approved hours at each employee's rates (overtime and paid leave included; project pay on its own line) and credits net wages payable. It does not run QuickBooks Payroll and TimeTally does not calculate PAYE, National Insurance or pension. The per-employee breakdown stays in TimeTally's export history, and the CSV export gives you hours and pay per person for your payroll.
No. TimeTally sits alongside QuickBooks. QuickBooks keeps your accounts (and payroll, if you use it). TimeTally handles clocking in, timesheets, manager approvals and holiday tracking, then posts the approved wages cost into QuickBooks so your books match what you are paying.
Most businesses are up and running within an hour. Connect your QuickBooks account, add your employees, set working patterns, and send invitations. The QuickBooks connection itself takes about 2 minutes.
Yes. The QuickBooks export is included in TimeTally's standard price of £3 per employee per month, along with the Xero export, holiday management and TOIL tracking. The only extra is optional GPS clock-in at £1 per employee per month.
