Software built to get invoices out accurately and on time
You're responsible for turning attorney time into revenue, and for keeping trust accounting clean enough to survive an audit. Smokeball gives you the tools to do both without the manual reconciliation.
Manage billing accuracy across the whole firm, not just one matter at a time
A billing manager's biggest challenge usually isn't the billing itself, it's getting attorneys to record time accurately and on time in the first place. Smokeball's automatic time tracking captures billable work as it happens, so the data reaching your desk is more complete before you ever start reviewing it.
Trust accounting features are built to keep client funds properly separated and reconciled, reducing the risk of an error that could become a compliance issue. Firm-wide billing reports give you visibility into write-downs, realization rates, and outstanding invoices without pulling data from multiple systems by hand.

Everything you want to know before taking the next step.
What does a legal billing manager use practice management software for?
Legal billing managers use practice management software to manage invoicing, trust accounting, and firm-wide billing reporting, reducing the manual reconciliation involved in turning attorney time into revenue.
How can billing managers get attorneys to record time more accurately?
Automatic time tracking captures billable work as it happens, rather than relying on attorneys to reconstruct their time at the end of the day or week, which improves the completeness of the data billing managers work with.
Does Smokeball support trust accounting compliance for billing managers?
Yes. Built-in trust accounting keeps client funds separated and reconciled, with reporting that supports the audit trail bar associations require.
