A partner, practice manager or operations lead in a professional-services firm of roughly two to forty people, most often a law firm, whose unit of work is the matter

Not a business closing its own books, not an accountancy practice working on clients' records, and not a firm shopping for marketing, a website or SEO

Tools

The tools, free and open

This one is built around the four numbers a partner in a two-to-forty-person firm actually has to answer for: which matters are open and who is on them, what has been worked and not yet billed, whether the bills went out and were paid, and whether client money is held correctly and separately.

The free worksheets on this site do that arithmetic on your own figures before you buy anything, and the paid plan keeps every matter, timesheet and bill as a record with a history you can show.

Free to use. No account, no card, no sign-up.

Everything a firm has to answer for, kept in one record

The matter

Every matter open, with who is on it

A firm's work is not projects or tickets, it is matters, and the question that gets asked in a partners' meeting is which ones are open and who is carrying them. That is a lookup here, not an afternoon of asking.

The time

What has been worked and not yet billed

Unbilled work in progress is the number most small firms cannot state on the day they are asked. On the worked example this site publishes, 38 days of it at $8,736 a day is $331,968 sitting in the firm rather than the bank.

The bill

Whether it went out, and whether it was paid

Recording time is only the first half. Realisation is what survives the write-off and the slow payer: at 86.5% on the same worked example, $183,456 of recorded value becomes $158,689 collected, a gap of $24,767 a month.
