Matters, time, billing, and trust accounting—firm operations where every hour is accountable and client funds stay separated correctly.

Run the firm without losing the billables—or the trust account reconciliation

We implement matters, contacts, and conflict checks with workflows for intake and engagement letters. Time capture supports timers, narratives, and LEDES exports; invoicing handles split billing, write-downs, and payment plans. Trust accounting follows IOLTA-style rules with three-way reconciliation reports your accountant expects—not spreadsheet patches.
