Enhance Your Firm’s Timekeeping Skills

It all begins with maintaining proper records of all necessary documentation to support the amount of time taken for each activity. For example, if you are entering time for reviewing a file, make sure you note down how many pages you reviewed and what exactly was the purpose of the review was. If you attend a web conference, ensure that the time you track includes details of who you conferred with, regarding what and what tangible work product was produced as a result of the communication that justifies the time taken.

Timely Bills Compliant with Client Guidelines

Maintaining compliance with client billing guidelines can be quite tricky if you have multiple clients. But this is one of the best ways to make sure that your collections improve and you get your payment without any cuts. There are many small details in billing guidelines that need to be paid attention to. In this climate, you can rest assured that your clients are just as wary about losing money like you are and shall be doing everything they can to reduce costs. So think twice before adding the charges for in house photocopying or other overhead into your invoice and whenever you are expected to seek approval, pick that phone or tab and ask for it!
