Fees billed, books kept — apart from the trust money

Accepted fee estimates are invoiced and time logged against the matter. The practice keeps its own books: business bank accounts reconciled, suppliers paid, VAT done — with the trust money kept apart in Trust accounting.

Who uses it

  • Bookkeeper
  • Partner
  • Accountant

What it does

  • Invoices from accepted fee estimates; time logged against the matter.
  • Recurring fees, online payments and credit control (Professional and Practice plans).
  • Ledger, business bank accounts, cash book and bank reconciliation; suppliers and bills; VAT.
  • Financial Intake reads statements and slips for a person to check and post.
  • Payroll and multi-currency books on the Practice plan.

How it works

  1. Send the fee estimate.
  2. Invoice it once accepted.
  3. Reconcile the business bank.
  4. Do the VAT.

The controls that protect it

  • Nothing the AI reads posts until a person accepts it.

What it does not do (yet)

  • A retainer requested as an invoice is the practice’s own money for fees; money held for a client is received into trust.
