Accounts

Connect Legal Work to Invoicing, Collections, and Entries, with the Ability to Prepare the Law Firm’s Annual Financial Reports

In law firms, an invoice may relate to a case, consultation, or service, and collections may occur in installments, through an advance, or as recurring fees. When accounts are separated from legal files, duplication increases and it becomes difficult to know amounts due and paid and the cost of each relationship or file—creating a gap between Accounts and Legal Affairs.

LAWMAX’s Accounts Module links Finance to client, case, consultation, and fee-agreement data, enabling management of the chart of accounts, invoices, payments, entries, vouchers, and reports within an interconnected system, according to the permissions and accounting policies approved by the firm.
