If your organization utilizes independent contractor and you are searching for a solution to efficiently track your contracted resources for simplified billing and invoicing processes, look no further. Minute7 is designed with your needs in mind. As a cloud-based time tracking software, it allows users to easily log hours from anywhere, at any time, using any device.

Unlike QuickBooks Time, Minute7 integrates contractor time seamlessly with QuickBooks Online and Desktop, enabling you to streamline your workflow and spend less time on administrative tasks.

The workforce comprises various types of independent contractors, each with a unique skill set and focus area.

One of the most common types is the freelance professional. These individuals offer their expertise in fields like writing, graphic design, programming, and consulting, and often work on a project-based agreement.

Another type is the gig worker, commonly found in platform-based businesses such as Uber, Airbnb, or TaskRabbit. These individuals perform tasks as needed, often with flexible hours and locations.

A third type is the consultant, who offers strategic advice and solutions to businesses. This might involve areas such as management, marketing, finance, or HR. Lastly, we have contractors in the construction industry who are hired for specific projects, such as building a house or renovating a commercial space. Regardless of the type, all independent contractors can benefit from effective time tracking and management offered by tools like Minute7.
