About This Automation

Billing and disbursement invoicing closes out a completed property matter by reconciling receipts, calculating fees, and issuing an invoice. Manual reconciliation and multi-step sign-off routines slow down cash collection and invite line-item errors.

The automated version pulls fee and disbursement data directly from the matter file, applies fee and VAT rules consistently, and routes the draft for approval before sending. Invoices go out faster with fewer errors and a clear audit trail.

Key features
Pulls fee entries and disbursement receipts directly from the matter record
Applies fee schedules and VAT rules consistently across every invoice
Builds an itemized draft invoice without manual data entry
Routes the draft for approval and tracks sign-off status automatically
Sends the approved invoice to the client and updates the matter ledger
Keeps a record of every invoice and approval in the matter file
