Review

"Anyone who thinks tracking time is simply a necessary evil for the purpose of billing and collecting revenue needs to read Curt's book. It is a paradigm-changing read and will open your mind to the power that time knowledge can bring to any organization. Knowledge is power in today's world and as Curt illustrates over and over again in his book, knowledge of how you and your staff spend their time can make the difference between maintaining a competitive advantage over your competition or struggling just to stay alive." - Robert Virga, CEO of Accounting Software 411

"Time and cost management are the most important aspects of project management. They are big problems in many organizations. Curt Finch's new book provides an important addition to the literature on these subjects and should help many project managers and enterprises implement better management of labor costs.

"Measure what matters. And in today's fast-paced business environment, nothing matters more than time and its impact on productivity and profitability.

Curt Finch's sensible book offers a new look at the use of time tracking and management in the era of the knowledge worker, complete with practical tips and tools for getting the buy-in and level of detail you need." - Dr. Karen McGraw, President and Founder of Cognitive Technologies, Inc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Timekeeping Will Increase Your Profits, November 25, 2007

By	Sarah Glass (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"All Your Money Won't Another Minute Buy" is an excellent book for anyone responsible for managing people and projects. Curt Finch presents a compelling case for the importance of time tracking and choosing the right timekeeping software. After a lengthy search and lots of time spent with various vendors, our company selected Journyx Timesheet as a key component to our accounting services business. I wish this book was available when we went through the selection process--it is a great guide to analyze timekeeping requirements and vendor capabilities and has many case studies that demonstrate that time tracking will make your business more profitable.
