Get Started with Financial Manager

Financial Manager (previously Cost Tracker) leverages the time tracking data from Timesheets by Tempo to deliver a financial snapshot that shows you at a glance how your project's total costs track toward a budget.

A Financial Manager project is defined with a single Jira filter, a structure, Jira projects, or Jira epics. Time logged to Jira issues or subtasks included in the filter is translated into labor costs.

The following information guides you through creating your first Financial Manager project quickly.

Required Permissions

Jira Global Permissions:

  • Tempo Project Administrator
    - OR -

  • Tempo Project Manager

Before You Begin

Quick Start

  1. Open Tempo from the Jira Apps menu.

  2. Select the Financial Manager icon from the Tempo sidebar.

  3. Click Create Tempo Project to create your first Tempo project in Financial Manager. 

    • Optionally, specify which Jira issues you want to include in your project using Jira projects, epics, a JQL filter, or a structure to define the scope.

Once you've created your project, you can add expenses related to your project, set up a budget, or set rates for project team members.
