Law firm accounting and management software FAQs

Accounting software helps legal firms track income and expenses while spending less time on financial admin. Cloud-based accounting software for law firms offers more flexibility on-the-go, helping you work on your law practice's books and monitor cash flow anywhere, online.

Accounting software helps solicitors and lawyers spend less time on financial admin, the books, and preparing tax returns. It's more user-friendly and efficient than spreadsheets and faster than going through files of old paper receipts. Accounting software like Sage offers comprehensive solutions for finance, operations, HR, and payroll. An example is Sage Intacct, a financial management system with tailor-made features for legal firms. We work with companies with financial management needs ranging from simple cost tracking to detailed task cost allocation and complex billing requirements. Our cloud-based system is centered on a high-powered general ledger that provides dimension-level tracking for all your transactions. That means you can significantly reduce the number of GL accounts you use while also significantly expanding the way you report on your data. With automation of processes related to project costing, vendor management and accounts payable, billing, time and expense tracking, and resource management, Sage Intacct can allow your finance team to focus on strategy instead of administrative processes.

Many service-based businesses constantly face revenue leakage, low utilization, and strained project profit. Accurate and complete time entry is a major contributing factor to these struggles. Sage Intelligent Time is the only AI-powered time entry system built into a full-featured ERP system. Sage Intelligent Time provides each member of your team with an AI-powered time assistant that provides suggested time entry cards based on that employee's calendar, email, and other activity. Using machine learning, the Time Assistant gets smarter and continuously improves the speed and accuracy of your teams' timesheet.

Sage Intelligent Time is providing a solution to an age-old problem for service-based businesses. Artificial intelligence and machine learning provide a tangible tool for your team to receive continuous and trusted insights regarding their time. With this insight, your project managers can make better decisions, your project pricing is more accurate, and your invoicing and close process are faster than ever.

Yes, accounting software often supports trust accounting with typical features such as keeping records and track funds held in trust for clients, ensuring compliance with trust accounting rules, creating trust account statements, reconciling transactions and maintaining audit trails. Integrating these functions into your accounting solution streamlines fund management processes while enhancing accuracy and compliance.

For many growing legal firms, the billing process is too labor-intensive to scale. Billing for services can be complicated depending on the various elements that you need to include on your invoice. Sage software is built to handle even the most complex invoicing requirements, as well as the variety of revenue recognition methods that can be associated with them. Automation around time entry, expenses, invoice formats, vendors, and all the other components required for billing, are instantly available for your team to quickly draft and issue invoices. Sage helps you to scale your business without being held back by cumbersome processes.

When it comes to financial reporting, automation, accuracy, and customization are critical requirements for an effective solution. Sage software's financial reporting excels at all three. By leveraging the general ledger's dimensions, reports can be grouped and sorted in a nearly unlimited way. When financial reporting is done right, it removes the burden of administrative tasks to allow your financial team to focus on strategic planning. Whether you're creating multiple profit and loss reports, or automating project reports for your project managers, Sage can handle what you need.
