How is LeanLaw Payments different from QuickBooks payments?

Firms can link as many trust and operating accounts as necessary to their Gravity Legal account, whereas QuickBooks only allows for a single deposit account.
All trust accounts are set up in such a way as to help firms comply with the rules of professional conduct by taking fees from the operating account.
For firms that frequently use both their trust and operating accounts to accept payments, consolidating those channels to one provider has been helpful in reducing admin work and reconciliation errors.
Gravity provides a detailed bank account reconciliation report, so firms can see which clients/matters/transactions made up each deposit into both the trust and operating bank accounts.
Firms may use Gravity’s automated surcharging platform to automatically charge credit card fees to clients at the point of payment, while still providing them with fee-free electronic payment options such as debit cards and bank transfers (ACH). This typically reduces processing fees by 60-80%.
Every Gravity client receives two direct points of contact in addition to access to phone, chat and email support. Gravity’s most recent net promoter score was 89.
