The longer time entries wait, the more billable time slips away. Small tasks become harder to reconstruct accurately, leading to estimated hours, rounded entries, and work that never reaches the invoice.
Vague or block-billed time entries make it harder for clients to understand the work performed. Instead of moving smoothly to payment, attorneys spend additional non-billable time explaining invoices, negotiating reductions, or writing off billable hours.
Simply recording time doesn't automatically show whether a matter is making or losing money. Without a current view of billing rates, labor costs, and accumulated time, declining margins may remain hidden until there is little room left to correct them.
Without real-time visibility into accumulated hours, matters can quietly drift beyond their agreed scope or budget. By the time someone notices, the extra work has already been done, leaving little room to protect profitability.

From recording billable hours to managing billing, budgets, and matter profitability, each role uses time data for a different purpose.
Uses billing and profitability reports to identify which matters and practice areas generate the strongest margins, not just the most billable hours.
Records billable hours against the correct matter while work is still fresh, ensuring every client service is captured accurately.
Reviews and approves time entries, applies billing rates, and prepares client invoices for lawyers across the firm.
Tracks support work across multiple attorneys and matters, ensuring every billable activity is captured before invoicing.
Record billable time from the mobile app, calendar view, weekly timesheet, or Chrome extension, whichever fits the way your team works best.
Time recording helps capture every task while it's still fresh instead of reconstructing work from memory later.
Every time entry can be linked to a specific task within a matter, with an optional description of the work performed.
Detailed line items make invoices easier for clients to understand, reducing the questions, write-downs, and payment delays often caused by block billing.
See how actual time compares to your original estimates at the matter, task, or team level.
Use those insights to identify recurring planning gaps, allocate resources more effectively, and make future estimates more accurate.
Set a time or cost budget for every matter and track progress as work is completed.
Visual progress indicators reveal how much of the agreed budget or retainer has already been used, helping you discuss additional work with clients before it turns into unpaid work.
Reports transform your legal timekeeping data into billing, labor cost, and profitability insights. Understand where time goes, what it costs, how matters perform against estimates, and where your firm's resources generate the greatest value.
