As a traveling consultant, your job description contains more duties more than just your Health IT project. Working independently or for a firm means that you need to be tracking your own hours and recording your own expenses. Finding a rhythm to staying organized takes time, but with these helpful apps you may find that tracking, and exporting a time and expense report, may be as simple as a few taps on your phone or tablet.
TDF Tracker is a time, expense, and mileage tracking application by Technical Data Freeway Inc. Although there is no free version to try out, reviews place it at 4.5 stars on average.
Cube Time & Expense Tracker starts you off on a free version of the Pro app. Once you explore the basic functionality and upgrade features, you can choose to purchase the full app.
Both apps come at the price of $9.99, but you are able to try a free (limited) version of Cube Time & Expense Tracker.
