Capture for Pros

Professionals. Do what you do best.

The accounting details are under full control.


Welcome to the Capture family of iOS Apps: Time Capture, Capture T&E and Capture Pro. Each is iOS "native" and self-contained, and built for Apple's iPad. CCAS has raised the bar for timekeeping, expense reporting, invoicing, and receivables management applications on all platforms, including iOS.

With built-in, full-bore, DCAA compliance* that's as unobtrusive as it is complete, you'll sleep well, knowing that you can instantly respond to (and support) any and all inquiries regarding your timekeeping, expenses and invoicing. Invaluable…and guaranteed.

One-time licensing fees from $49 to $99 include companion Windows and Mac desktop applications - with no recurring costs or in-app purchases. iOS native, there's no need for the "Cloud" - yet each App is "Cloud" ready…It's your choice.

* Valuable for all, and a "must have" where efforts are subject to Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) or other US Government accounting requirements.

Record time and expenses. Bill. Collect. Faster and Better.

Fast? Easy? Of course. But that’s just the beginning.

Just tell Capture about yourself, your clients and projects, labor categories and project tasks and, where applicable, your expense categories and invoicing settings. Select the system settings that “fit” your style, and then…go. Easy.

It's Your Time. We take it as seriously as you do.

We’re all Professionals.

Included in our notion of "Professionals" are all that provide services and are directly or indirectly compensated for their efforts - their hours and expenses - and may have a requirement to account for their efforts in detail. That is: Engineers, Lawyers, Accountants, Agents, Contractors and Consultants on any and all subject matters - and particularly those whose time accounting is subject to DCAA or other US Government accounting requirements. As a Professional, the recording of your time should be in "ink". That is, time entries may be edited, but not deleted. All Capture apps serialize and note the date and time of all entries, the date and time of all edits, and a full log of all such edits is maintained: the entry before and and after editing is preserved in full detail. This log cannot be edited and the PDF reports generated detailing this edit audit trail cannot be edited. It is possible, however, to "purge" this edit audit trail (with an archive copy of this data saved before purging), but to accomplish this all time entries of the same period are purged as well. So, if your system has time entries, it always has a full edit audit trail for those entries. If a timekeeping system doesn't include this "writing in ink" feature, its entries are little more than etchings in the sand.

It's Your Time. You own it, right?

What you’ll be getting…and what you won’t.

You will be creating business data and managing business data directly and exclusively on your iPad - not “interacting” through a web app with a back-end application that may be outside of your direct control. You are in full control and own all that exists in this, your realm. Each version of Capture provides the most verifiably accurate time reporting possible. But it is completely up to you as to who - if anyone at all - is exposed to all that it delivers, or any part of what it delivers. Important is that you will know with complete certainty that you are always ready to support your time charges in absolute terms. And because you’ll own them, your app and your data can never be held “hostage”.

Each of our apps will pay for themselves almost immediately and their “dividends” are continuously realized. As a Professional, addressing your timekeeping policy and procedures is a fundamental administrative requirement. With this accomplished, you’re free to concentrate on your objectives, doing what you do best.

Smoothly transition to th Next Level.

We’re pleased to be able to assist all Professionals - and on a very cost-effective basis. And we’ll be just as pleased to provide the accounting software support you’ll need should your success find you at a “new” level, with employee’s, new and expanded costs, and significantly greater accounting needs. We’ve been doing just that for more than 25 years. We stand ready to assist in your transition…and every bit as cost-effectively.


Good Software
Easing administrative burdens and contributing to productivity are the cornerstones of good software and systems. While some would have it that these attributes suggest excellence, we see them as fundamental qualities: why else software and systems? CCAS software goes a full step further, supporting less experienced staff in their advancement and freeing seasoned staff to focus on what they do best, and this with unrivaled cost-effectiveness. It's that simple.
