Legal billing software: time, invoices and payments on the matter
tsuro's Finance System is legal billing software that automates billing, invoicing and payment tracking, integrated with every matter. Chargeable time is captured as the work happens, not reconstructed at month end, and clients pay by card or Open Banking.
What our legal billing software does
Billing is where the work on a matter turns into income, and it is often where a firm's systems are most disconnected. The Finance System sits on the same record as the CRM, Client Hub, Matter Management and workflows, so time, invoices and payments belong to the matter they came from. Data is entered once, and fee earners and the finance team work from the same figures.
Time recording for solicitors, as the work happens
Chargeable time is captured as the work happens on the matter, not pieced together from diaries and memory at month end. Because the time is recorded where the work is done, it is ready when the bill is raised. Supervisors see chargeable time captured in the firm's live management information.
Automated billing and invoicing from the matter
Law firm billing software works best when it knows the matter. tsuro's Finance System automates billing and invoicing from the matter record, so invoices carry the right client and matter details without being retyped. Each matter's billing sits beside its tasks, documents and deadlines in our legal case management software.
Payment tracking, with card and Open Banking payments
Clients pay by card through Stripe or through Open Banking powered by Yapily, with no card details or bank statements for your team to chase. Each payment is recorded against its matter, and payment tracking shows what is paid and what is outstanding.
Lock-up and aged debt, live rather than monthly
Lock-up is the money tied up in unbilled work and unpaid bills, and it is one of the figures partners watch most closely. tsuro's management information shows work in progress, lock-up and aged debt and matter profitability as it stands today, not in a spreadsheet assembled at month end. Partners and the finance team see where cash is held up while there is still time to act on it.

How billing fits the rail
Finance is stage six of the six stages every matter travels. It draws on the time, documents and milestones recorded along the way, and the client's history stays in the CRM for the next instruction.

Business development
The CRM keeps the client's full interaction history, so the next enquiry starts from what the firm already knows.
Legal CRM softwareThe figures billing gives you
- Work in progress: what has been done and not yet billed, matter by matter.
- Lock-up and aged debt: where cash is held up, live rather than at month end.
- Matter profitability: how each matter is performing, from the same live figures.
- Chargeable time captured: the time recorded as the work happened, across the firm.
- Payments: card payments through Stripe and Open Banking payments through Yapily, recorded against the matter. See our integrations.
One platform from estimate to payment
The matter begins with a fee, disbursement and cost estimate built in Estimate Management, and it ends with an invoice and a payment recorded in the Finance System, on the same platform throughout. Kingsley Bond Solicitors and Montrose Brown Law already run on tsuro.
Our legal practice management platform overview shows how finance sits beside the other five modules and the live management information.
Questions about legal billing software

How does tsuro handle time recording for solicitors?
