Your Billing System Is Costing You Money
These problems show up in 90%+ of the sales calls we have with law firms.
Hours Lost to Double Entry
Time entries in one system. Invoices in another. Then manually update QuickBooks. Every. Single. Month.
Flying Blind on Financials
By the time reports are ready, they're already 6 weeks old. You can't manage what you can't measure.
Trust Risk You Can't Afford
IOLTA compliance shouldn't keep you up at night. But with manual reconciliation, one mistake means a bar complaint.
Clio Can't Do It All
It's great for case management. But when it comes to billing and QuickBooks? You're stuck exporting CSVs and praying.
Here's what changes when your billing system is actually built for this.
Choose Your Firm Size
See exactly how LeanLaw solves the challenges specific to firms like yours.
Stop Wasting $8-10K/Year on Broken Billing
Your firm is past the startup phase. You have 6-10 attorneys, maybe an office manager handling the books. But your billing process? Still feels like duct tape and spreadsheets.
- Get invoices to clients in hours, not days — One click from time entry to sent invoice
- QuickBooks stays clean automatically — Real-time two-way sync, zero manual updates
- One invoice per matter = faster collection — No client confusion about what they're paying for
Scale Your Billing Without the Headache
You're processing 100-200 invoices per month across multiple practice areas. Your controller needs real numbers. Your partners need utilization data. Enterprise billing without enterprise complexity.
- Generate 150 invoices in 2 hours — Batch processing that actually works at scale
- LEDES compliance built in — All 50 jurisdictions, auto-formatted, no manual coding
- See utilization before compensation time — Know which attorneys are under-performing now, not quarterly
Enterprise Billing That Works
Multi-office. 500+ invoices per month. C-suite visibility requirements. You've outgrown Clio Elite but don't want the complexity of legacy enterprise systems.
- Handle 500+ invoices/month across offices — Enterprise scale without enterprise headaches
- CFO gets real-time numbers — Integration means current data, not month-old reports
- Partner dashboards with real metrics — Utilization, WIP, billed, collected—all in one view
Professional Billing for Your Solo Practice
You're building something. You handle everything—cases, clients, and yes, the books. You need invoices that impress clients without spending hours creating them.
- Mobile time tracking that works — Capture time on-the-go with timers that sync instantly
- Custom invoices that impress clients — Look like a big firm without the big firm overhead
- QuickBooks finally makes sense — Real-time sync eliminates manual reconciliation

"Invoice day used to take me 8 hours. Now it's 2. The attorneys actually enter their time because LeanLaw makes it easy."

Your Books Stay Clean. Without the Manual Work.
Built by people who understand that 90% of your work touches QuickBooks. True bi-directional sync. Automatic categorization. Clean books.
- True two-way sync — Changes flow both directions instantly
- LawPay + Stripe integration — Payments auto-reconcile
- Data cleanliness — Automatic categorization keeps books clean
Pulling these numbers by hand every week, before bills go out, after bills go out, mid-cycle isn't really feasible. It makes it hard to know if flat fee engagements are actually profitable. Having the data just there automatically is freaking awesome.

Common Questions
How is LeanLaw different from Clio or practice management software?
Clio is built for case management — billing and accounting are secondary. LeanLaw is built around QuickBooks, so billing, collections, and trust accounting work as a single governed workflow, not a series of manual handoffs. For firms where financial performance is the priority, that difference shows up in realization rates and days-to-collect.
Do I need to change my accounting software?
Only if you’re not already on QuickBooks Online. LeanLaw is built around QBO — not as an add-on, but as a deliberate architectural choice. QuickBooks remains your firm’s accounting source of truth; LeanLaw connects to it in real time so that billing, collections, trust accounting, and financial reporting all operate from the same live data. That’s what makes the numbers trustworthy — and what makes Legal Revenue Operations possible for firms that have historically managed those workflows in disconnected pieces.
If you’re currently on QuickBooks Desktop or another accounting platform, migration to QBO is required. We can walk you through what that looks like for your firm’s specific setup.

How long does it take to get started?
Most firms are live within a week. Our dedicated onboarding team handles QuickBooks integration setup, data migration, and team training. You’ll be capturing time and generating invoices within days—not months.
How much does LeanLaw cost?
LeanLaw offers transparent per-user pricing with no hidden fees. For a 10-attorney firm recovering $61K per attorney annually in previously leaked revenue, the ROI is typically 20–50x the cost of the software. Schedule a demo to get a custom quote for your firm.
