Sage Timeslips is a specialized time tracking and billing software solution developed by Sage Group plc, a global leader in business management software. Timeslips is designed primarily for professional service firms—especially legal, consulting, and accounting practices—offering tools for time capture, billing, invoicing, and reporting. It is part of Sage’s broader portfolio of financial and operational software solutions.
Sage Group was founded in 1981 in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, by David Goldman, along with Dr. Paul Muller and Graham Wylie. The company began as a solution to automate quoting and accounting for Goldman’s own print business. Recognizing the broader market potential, they commercialized the software, and Sage quickly grew into a major player in the UK software market.
Sage Timeslips itself was originally developed by Timeslips Corporation in the 1980s and was acquired by Sage in the mid-1990s. Since then, it has been integrated into Sage’s suite of professional services tools and has evolved into a robust, cloud-enabled billing platform.
Sage Group is a publicly traded company listed on the London Stock Exchange under the ticker SGE. As of June 2025, Sage has a market capitalization of $16.5 billion and a trailing 12-month revenue of $3.09 billion. The company was once venture-backed but has since matured into a global enterprise with over 10,000 employees and operations in more than 20 countries.
