Our belief is that time tracking is both foundational and complex enough to the way organizations function, that the best is required.
TSheets does timesheets right, striking the perfect balance between clunky, corporate systems with sub-par service, and small-scale, second-rate applications built with all bark and no bite.
Managing your most vital asset — your employee's time — is a top priority, whether you are a small business or run a large international organization. TSheets is a time tracking application that replaces paper and obsolete timesheets with a more accurate, mobile and flexible solution. We strive to empower business leaders with a better way to track, manage and report employee time. Our business philosophy: simplify time tracking with easy-to-use technology that works seamlessly and flexibly for everyone, from IT and HR departments to end-user employees.
Founded in 2006, TSheets now serves entrepreneurs and corporations across the globe. Businesses of all shapes and sizes utilize our service to manage and maintain accurate time keeping records, and save on overall payroll costs across the board.
Based in Meridian, Idaho (right next to Boise), TSheets is the brainchild of Matt Rissell, CEO, and Brandon Zehm, chief programmer. While on a quest at his prior organization for easy-to-use, effective and accurate time tracking software, Matt met Brandon. The fortuitous combination of Matt's business acumen with Brandon's extraordinary programming background led to the creation of the breakthrough application known as TSheets.
With a dream team of developers and account managers, TSheets continues to expand and improve the capabilities of time tracking, labor management and reporting through our interface. TSheets is home to a staff of motivated and passionate individuals with wide-ranging experience—from self-employed business owners, to US government contractors.
As a seasoned entrepreneur and aggressive-growth business leader, TSheets is Matt's sixth start-up venture. He is passionate about helping others achieve individual and corporate success and often travels nationally to speak at industry and Internet conferences on leadership, entrepreneurship and sales. He is a native of Colorado, and when he's not working, he enjoys spending time with his wife, his three children and his Weimaraner — bird hunting, bow hunting, fishing, and enjoying the beautiful mountains in Idaho.
Brandon is a brilliant software architect and the brains behind the technology at TSheets. He has been offered massive compensation packages from the who's who of US tech companies, but has a die-hard entrepreneurial spirit, thirst for adventure, and adrenaline junkie attitude that keep him focused on building TSheets. Brandon maintains a legion of loyal Linux/PHP followers due to the popularity of past apps he's developed along with his willingness to give away the code for free. Brandon gets his adrenaline fix from hard-core hobbies like cave exploring, skydiving, and climbing every mountain that whispers his name.

When not working, he spends time in the Idaho backcountry with his family — hiking, backpacking, mountain climbing, caving and snowboarding — or if the weather's bad, in the garage restoring his Porsche 951.

At TSheets, we empower business leaders with the ultimate tool: control over time.
You live in a world of intuitive, flexible, touchable technology — where simplicity is king. We believe that even (and especially) a time-tracking app should brim with sex appeal. Because for a business to stay on track, employees need to use it. Even love it.
We build technology that fits the real world and that end users love. On both ends. For the IT staff, the employees in the field, the HR team, the CEO or president in charge, this is the business solution to solve labor management problems. We make business accountable to time: the ultimate productivity x-factor.
Behind our technology, lies the passion of our people. In business, in life and in several, sometimes insane, outdoor pursuits, we work hard and we live hard. We simply want the opportunity to do what we love. That includes racing road bikes, wake surfing, exploring caves, rock climbing, backpacking, traveling, fishing, hunting, sailing, creating spectacular time technology solutions, and then vacating the premises.
