Funder reports in minutes
Staff time and costs are already tagged to the right fund. Run the report, export it, send it.
For charities & non-profits
You won the grant. Now prove how it was spent.
TNE Connect logs staff time and costs against the grant that pays for them. So your funder report is something you run, not something you rebuild.

How most grants start
- 01 The grant is awarded, with rules on what it can pay for.
- 02 Your finance system knows the money, not the hours.
- 03 Someone builds a spreadsheet to split staff time.
- 04 The report gets pieced together months later.
Managing timesheets and expenses was a constant hassle, especially on long projects where data spanned many years.
What changes
Reporting stops eating everyone's fortnight
Four things that change when time is logged as the work happens.

02
See the spend as you go
Know where a programme sits against its budget while there's still time to change something. -
03
Proof behind every number
Who did the work, when, and who approved it. The evidence exists before anyone asks for it. -
04
Staff split across funds
One person can log time to several grants in the same week. No percentage spreadsheet to maintain.

What it is in TNE Connect
A code, with its own budget and dates, that every hour and cost is tagged to

A report you run, then export to Excel or PDF
Stays exactly as it is. We send clean data to it
is this you
Who it's for
A good fit if…
- You're a charity or NGO of 50 to 250 staff
- Programmes run a year or longer
- Staff work across more than one funder
- Time is split in a spreadsheet, or guessed at report time
Not yet if…
- You're volunteer-run with no paid staff
- All your money is unrestricted, so nothing needs splitting
- You already have a system that tracks staff time properly
Built by people
who
ran long programmes
for a living
TNE Connect was built by two former PwC delivery leads. They watched big systems fail to cope with individual programmes, and watched teams build a spreadsheet in week one because there was nothing else. That spreadsheet kept causing problems at reporting time. So they fixed it.
Straight answers
No. Your finance system knows the money left in each fund. It doesn’t know who spent which hours on what. That’s the bit we capture, and we send it straight back to your finance system.
They pick the fund as they log their time. You get the real split rather than a percentage someone guessed months ago.
Yes, and we’d recommend it. One programme gives you a clear answer. Rolling out everywhere at once gives you a mess.
It takes seconds. Time goes in by email, desktop or mobile, and receipts are photographed on the day. Most people need no training.
Yes. That’s what it was built for. The record stays put even when the person who set it up has moved on.
