How It Works

One System. Every Step of the Admin Workflow.

From onboarding your team to closing the books each month, LeanLaw connects every administrative touchpoint — and syncs it all to QuickBooks Online in real time.

Step 01

Onboard Your Team

Set up attorneys, billing rates, and matter types in minutes. LeanLaw migrations are handled by our team — you start clean, not from scratch.

Step 02

Capture Time & Expenses

Attorneys log time on any device with one tap. Timekeeping nudges keep entries current — no more month-end reconstruction, no more missing hours.

Step 03

Generate & Send Bills

Batch-create invoices, apply billing rules, and send polished bills in minutes. Firms using LeanLaw invoice clients within 2–3 days instead of 10–12.

Step 04

Collect & Reconcile

Online payments and trust draws post directly to QuickBooks Online the moment they clear — no manual reconciliation, no end-of-month scramble.

QuickBooks Native

See Everything in One Place — With True QuickBooks Online Integration.

Other legal billing tools sync to QuickBooks as a nightly export. LeanLaw runs inside QuickBooks Online as the actual general ledger. Every invoice, payment, and trust transaction is a native QBO entry — reconciliation-ready the moment it happens, with zero manual effort from your team.
