Client Collect is the first software that is designed as part of a total accounts receivable management solution. It was designed specifically for the legal profession based on our years of working with law firms and what we have learned that law firms need in order to manage receivables.

A surprising number of law firms install accounts receivable management technology systems, but either never use them or do not take advantage of their full capacity as a strategic business tool to help increase revenue. Sometimes the software is just too complicated. In other cases, firms are victims of their own cultures, approaching their collection efforts with a plan that does not yield results. They are unsure what information about their receivables they need to gather and how to analyze it.

Client Collect is a sophisticated piece of software, but it is easy to use. It is a practice management tool that not only provides accounts receivable management solutions, but also manages the firm’s assets from the point at which time becomes work in process until a receivable has been paid or otherwise resolved.

Client Collect was designed to help law firms analyze why work is not being paid for and identify what steps need to be taken to systematically manage each firm’s asset portfolio. It was intended to be easy to operate by the staff and lawyers who use it on a day-to-day basis.

Client Collect has far greater capabilities than just calendaring and note taking. It is used by our clients to help firm leadership predict cash flow, determine if and when clients will pay, identify which collection methodologies will work best for which clients, and provide payment solutions for different practice areas and client types. Client Collect helps law firms think “outside the box” when analyzing information and reports that it provides to help get a firm’s arms around its receivables.

When a firm chooses to use Client Collect, we first listen to the firm’s needs and its plans for managing WIP and A/R, and we offer suggestions on what type of information it should be measuring and evaluating, then conform our system to address its needs.

Software will not collect money for you, but when used effectively, it helps you look beyond the dollars to better manage your information in order to find solutions to collecting receivables.
