For small law firms
Several lawyers, one billing run, every client’s balance in one place
A small firm bills for several timekeepers at different rates, and one person usually pulls it all together at month end. The work is in knowing whose time is unbilled, which clients are behind, and sending every invoice on the same day.
The billing problems small law firms actually have
Each lawyer keeps time differently, and month end means chasing everyone for it.
Every timekeeper records time against the client in the same place, and the unbilled entries for a client are listed together, ready to bill.
Partners and associates bill at different rates on the same matter.
Each time entry carries its own hourly rate, so one invoice can show several rates on its lines.
Nobody can say at a glance which clients are behind.
Overdue invoices are listed together, and a client’s statement shows what they were billed, what they paid and what is still open.
A worked invoice
Sample work, priced the way this work is usually priced. The total is computed with the same function the console bills with.
| Line | Qty | Price | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Partner: draft answer and affirmative defenses | 4.2 | $425.00 | $1,785.00 |
| Associate: document review | 11.5 | $240.00 | $2,760.00 |
| Paralegal: prepare exhibit index | 3 | $125.00 | $375.00 |
| Total | $4,920.00 | ||
Sample figures. Three timekeepers at three rates on one invoice.
Questions
Can I give each team member their own access?
Yes. Team members sign in with their own accounts and roles, and the workspace’s plan includes its team rather than pricing per seat.
Can a client pay several invoices at once?
Yes. A payment can be applied across a client’s open invoices, oldest first or as you choose.
Can I export the month’s invoices for my accountant?
Yes. Invoices and payments export as CSV files for your accountant.
