What would happen if your law firm revamped its client billing process?

It could look like this:

• Adopt a batch billing system
• Distribute pre-bills on one day of the month
• Require pre-bill edits due 5 days later
• Issue invoices 5 days after edits are due

So you could achieve this:

• Eliminate errors
• Speed up the billing process
• Balance work loads for happier staff
• Get paid 20% faster
