How project managers keep delivery, budget and billing in one view
A project manager needs to know if a project is late, over budget, or both - before the client asks. CrmLeaf ties tasks, time, budget and billing to the same project record, so the answer doesn't require three exports.

Optional budget-vs-actual with EVM and over-budget alerts.
- 6
Milestones billed

- 7
Reports reviewed
Project reports show cost summary and burndown.
- 8
Client sees status
Client portal shows invoices and project-linked documents.
What actually changes
Cost overruns are discovered at invoicing, not before
Project budgeting (add-on) tracks budget vs. actual with earned value management and over-budget alerts as work happens, not after.
Every project starts from a blank task list
Project templates, including Excel import, mean a proven structure is reused.
Milestone billing means re-keying numbers into an invoice
Milestone invoicing bills a completed milestone directly from its billable work.
Time tracked doesn't automatically reach the invoice
Auto-add billable expenses and time to recurring or milestone invoices closes that gap.
Gantt charts don't reflect what's actually overdue
Gantt view includes overdue and drift tracking, not just a static bar chart.
Project status updates are a separate email every week
Project reports give a live cost summary and burndown a stakeholder can check directly.
