Ask How do you deal with clients who want a full breakdown of every hour you worked and every task you did?

[Edward22]

Some clients want to see exactly how their money was spent, down to the specific task and the time it took. For freelancers who charge per project, this can feel like being asked to justify a fixed price with hourly logic. For those on hourly rates, tracking and reporting every task can become its own time-consuming job. There is also the question of how much detail is too much and whether showing everything actually builds trust or just creates more questions. How do you handle clients who ask for that level of detail, and where do you draw the line?
