Leveraging LeanLaw's Invoice Insights for End-of-Year Collections - Top 10 LeanLaw Feature of 2023

As law firms approach the year’s end, firm operators and managing partners begin to compile a summary of all outstanding invoices and client balances. This information is critical for planning effective collection strategies. However, gathering and organizing this data can be a challenge. LeanLaw offers a solution that simplifies this process.

LeanLaw’s Firm Invoice Details dashboard offers a comprehensive overview of a firm’s invoice statuses and client balances. For a complete picture, operators can sort and filter data by specific date ranges, ideal for examining a full year’s history of invoices and payments.

Focusing on collections, LeanLaw’s dashboard offers a feature that shows outstanding balances by the age of the invoice. This allows for a granular approach, enabling operators to drill down into details for specific invoice dates or to get an overview of how old invoices are. For firms looking to prioritize their collection efforts, the dashboard highlights the top 10 clients with the most significant outstanding balances.

When it comes to presenting this information to partners or other stakeholders, LeanLaw makes it easy. Operators can take screenshots or download data directly from the dashboard into CSV or Excel formats. They can also download images of the dashboard visuals for inclusion in PowerPoint presentations or PDF reports, providing a polished and professional presentation of the firm’s financial standing.

On top of that, users can set customized alerts from this dashboard, such as clients with outstanding balances exceeding $10,000. They can choose the frequency of these alerts and select the recipients, ensuring that the relevant parties, such as responsible attorneys or managing partners, stay informed. This feature empowers firm operators to proactively manage collections and maintain a healthy cash flow.

LeanLaw’s invoice insights and customizable alerting provide law firms with the tools they need to efficiently manage end-of-year collections. With these features, firms can gain better control over their billing cycles and improve their financial strategies, ultimately leading to a more organized and profitable practice.
