  • Client billing summary

    Before an invoice goes out, the billing coordinator has a summary the client can read: fees by timekeeper, task and phase, expenses and write-downs, tied to the pre-bill. Every entry that breaks the client's billing guidelines reaches the responsible attorney as a decision, with the amount at stake.

  • Executive week-ahead calendar review

    Before the week starts, the executive assistant hands the executive one brief: every clash, every journey or run of meetings with too little time, every meeting with no stated purpose or no preparation time, and proposed time for the week's priorities. Nothing is accepted, declined, moved or sent.

  • Matter budget and status summary

    The responsible partner sees one matter whole: scope, phases against their dates, the budget against fees to date and the projected total, a red, amber or green status with the rule behind it, risks and next actions with owners. Built from the time export and the matter plan, never a view on the merits.

  • Matter closing checklist preparation

    When the handling lawyer flags a matter for closure, the firm's closing checklist is filled from the matter record: final billing as recorded, open tasks, unreturned items and the handoffs billing and records must accept.

  • Matter-opening checklist preparation

    Every accepted matter goes into setup and billing with one checklist: the fields each system needs, the terms that drive the first invoice, the documents on file and an owner for every open item.

  • Month-end close checklist

    Before the month ends, your controller holds the whole close on one page: every task with its owner, its date and what it waits on, the chain that sets the close date, and each gap already written as a question. Entries are prepared for approval, never posted.

  • Overdue-invoice follow-up preparation

    Every overdue invoice gets a follow-up drafted in your firm’s tone for its age and addressed from the right person, and every invoice that should not be chased is held with the reason written down.

  • Prebill exception review

    Before the billing attorney opens a prebill, the billing coordinator has every awkward entry marked: rates that differ from the firm's rate table, possible duplicates, entries outside the client's billing guidelines, unclear narratives and expenses without support, each sent to the person who acts next.

  • Receivables exception review

    The controller gets every short payment, unmatched or ambiguous receipt, possible duplicate and disputed invoice on one list, each with its evidence and a proposed next step, before anything is applied on a guess.

  • Referral source follow-up

    The day after a partner meets someone who sends the firm work, they have a follow-up draft and a list of every promise made at the table, by both sides. The draft uses only approved materials and nothing said in confidence; the partner checks it, chooses the next step and sends it.

  • SOP exception capture

    Turn what your most experienced person does with the awkward cases into an exception register for one procedure. Once the owner approves it, every colleague handles those cases the way your best person does.

  • Weekly receivables summary

    The finance lead takes one page into each week’s management meeting: what came in, where every receivable stands, which exceptions are open and who owns them, and the decisions management must make. Every figure ties to the aging report.
