Monthly Billing Summary

Firms often end the month with billing data split across timekeeping, invoicing, and collections notes. This automation packages the billing picture into one monthly summary so partners can see logged hours, work in progress, overdue invoices, and collection risks without asking accounting for multiple exports.

How It Works

01

Collect time and invoice data

The workflow pulls billed and unbilled time, invoice totals, payment status, and aged receivables from the firm's finance stack.

02

Group by attorney and matter

Results are summarized by timekeeper, client, and matter so leaders can see where revenue and billing delays are concentrated.

03

Flag collection issues

Invoices that are aging, write-downs that are increasing, or clients with repeated slow pay behavior are highlighted.

04

Send the finance snapshot

The managing partner or finance lead receives a clean report with links back to the underlying matters and invoices.

Key Benefits

  • Gives leadership a single monthly billing snapshot
  • Makes unbilled work and slow collections harder to miss
  • Improves follow-up on overdue invoices
  • Supports faster month-end decision making

In Practice

At month-end, a boutique M&A firm receives a summary showing one partner carrying a large amount of unbilled diligence time and two clients with invoices past 45 days, which prompts billing corrections before cash flow becomes a problem.
