shutterstock_126572585Tracking time and billing is critical for every law office, professional and small business. But merely recording those hours and expenses into a system isn’t enough to gain insight into your business. You need a way to make sense of all that data.

Without the ability to run reports on your time-tracking and billing data, you are missing crucial opportunities to understand what that data actually says:

Where are you leaking profits?
Are inefficiencies dragging down your bottom line? What can be improved?

What tasks are taking more time and costing you most?
What are the reasons why certain tasks (or accounts) are costing more than others? How much non-billable time is being recorded, and how can that time be reduced?

How are employees effectively managing their time?
Which team members are taking longer to perform certain tasks, and why? What can be done about it?

Are clients being billed correctly for associated time and expenses?
Where are expenses and time being lost? Are client invoices being properly updated to include these time entries?

Which attorneys or staff members are missing time entries, and how much?
How many hours are unaccounted for at the end of a week or month?

How can you make your operations more efficient and more profitable?
What can you do to ensure your firm is minimizing losses and maximizing profitability?

If your existing time-tracking and billing software doesn’t help you answer these questions, then why are you tracking time and expenses at all?
