This CPA Team Boosts Time Visibility by 27% With Clockify
“Clockify gave us better visibility into capacity, workload distribution, project costing, and client profitability.”
– Romina Laura Constanzo
Argentinian professional services firm, BI Estudio, has been turning heads with modern accounting solutions — 25 years in.
Led by partners Hernán Bourdieu and Javier Incardona, the company offers compliance and consulting services that drive operational and financial success for SMBs.
But while the team helps others grow, who helps them?
We interviewed Romina Laura Constanzo, strategic advisor at BI Estudio, to learn how her team maintains efficiency with Clockify.
2 Problems BI Estudio fixed with Clockify
Before Clockify, the company “experimented with other time tracking solutions, but adoption was always a challenge,” notes Romina. More importantly, they struggled with collecting reliable data in a simple and sustainable way.
The 30-person crew took to Clockify like fish to water. Romina explains:
“What made us stick with Clockify was the combination of simplicity, flexibility, and actionable insights. Team members adopted it quickly and the platform made time tracking part of their daily workflow.”
3 Advantages BI Estudio gains from Clockify
Discover how Clockify benefits this accounting leader in 3 ways.
#1: Flexible time tracking
Romina’s crew is most impressed with the Timer in Clockify. She says:
“Team members can track time in real time using the timer or enter it manually, making adoption easier. People are surprised by how much time they actually spend on tasks.”
As our interlocutor already knows, Clockify personalizes your timekeeping with options like:
- Time entry duplication and splitting
- Break mode for recording breaks separately
- Keyboard shortcuts (e.g., “N” starts the timer and “S” stops it)
Additionally, Romina shared stats showing how our tool improved their time visibility:
“Between 2024 and 2025, tracked hours increased from 2,509 to 3,203 — a 27% increase in recorded activity. Clockify gave us better visibility into capacity, workload distribution, project costing, and client profitability.”
#2: Strategic decision-making
Romina’s team makes confident decisions based on Reports in Clockify: “Whether we are evaluating workloads, pricing services, improving processes, or planning future growth, we can rely on objective information and measurable results.”
Her colleagues enjoy viewing tracked data from several perspectives. As Romina explains:
“The option to break down data by user, team, client, project, or task category provides several layers of analysis and lets us explore different scenarios.”
Besides advanced filtering, Reports enable you to bulk-edit time entries. Just select the entries, add the description, and attach the project to all of them at once.
#3: Actionable project insights
Romina finds project-based time tracking essential for the crew, allowing them to “understand profitability, identify inefficiencies, improve planning,” etc.
To illustrate, Projects in Clockify let you:
- Track tasks for clear project progress
- Mark billable and non-billable work
- Define project or task rates for accurate billing
- Decide who works on what and when
- Set time/budget estimates to stay on schedule
The CPA team focuses on balancing tech and soft skills. With Clockify, they can monitor non-billable time spent on upskilling. Romina shares how:
“We combine the technical excellence of our accountants, tax specialists, and consultants with ongoing training in leadership, communication, teamwork, and other soft skills.”
How BI Estudio continues to evolve with Clockify
Romina says that growth boosts the need for solid operational data: “Clockify evolved from a time tracking tool into an important management and planning resource for our firm. The more we used it, the more opportunities we found to leverage its information.”
