What accounting firms ask before managing their team through CAOA.
CAOA maintains a complete employee record: personal details, designation, department, reporting hierarchy, joining date, contract type, salary structure assignment, leave balances, skill tags, and document attachments (offer letter, ID proof, certifications). The Work Report feature lets employees submit daily task summaries which managers can review and approve. Over time this builds a searchable history of each team member's contributions and output.
Employees apply for leave through the CAOA mobile or web app, specifying the type (casual, sick, privilege, compensatory) and dates. The request goes to their reporting manager for approval. Once approved, leave days update the employee's balance, appear in the firm-wide absence calendar, and feed into the payroll calculation for that month. Managers can view the team's leave calendar before approving to avoid under-staffed periods during busy deadline weeks.
Yes. Timesheets in CAOA are linked directly to tasks, so every hour logged is attributed to a specific client and engagement. This gives you billable vs. non-billable breakdowns per employee, per client, and per service line. The Business Analytics module aggregates timesheet data into utilisation reports — showing what percentage of each employee's working hours was billed to clients — a key metric for profitability management in professional services firms.
You configure a reporting structure in CAOA that mirrors your firm's org chart — staff report to managers, managers report to partners. This hierarchy controls who approves whose leave, who receives task escalation alerts, who sees whose timesheet, and who can access whose performance data. When a team member changes role or department, updating their reporting line in CAOA takes effect immediately across all modules without any data migration.
Yes. CAOA has iOS and Android apps for employees. Team members can check in and check out (with optional GPS tagging), log work hours against tasks, apply for leave, view their assigned tasks and deadlines, receive notifications, and upload documents — all from their phone. For firms with remote workers or multiple office locations, the mobile app ensures attendance and task records are updated in real time regardless of where the employee is working.
