Bill the way you actually work.
BillableHour tracks time, generates invoices for hourly and flat-fee engagements, handles trust accounting (IOLTA), and gives firm owners a full audit trail of every entry, edit, and payment. The same matter you exchange discovery on is the matter you bill on.
What it does
Time tracking that gets out of the way
Per-timekeeper entries with date, matter, narrative, duration, and rate. UTBMS task codes when you need them, ignored when you don't. Mobile-friendly entry for time logged at the courthouse.
Hourly and flat-fee, side by side
Set a matter to hourly (rate × time) or flat-fee (lump sum, optional milestones). Track time on flat-fee matters anyway for internal reporting. Mix both in a single firm without preference.
Invoices your client will read
Clean line items, optional discount, tax, and interest. Soft-credit balances and write-offs handled explicitly. Email delivery and PDF download. Numbering format you control.
Trust accounting (IOLTA) built in
Per-client trust balance kept separate from operating A/R. Deposits, withdrawals, and trust-to-operating transfers logged with reason and reference. Reconciliation reports exportable for your state bar.
Credits, write-offs, and corrections
Edit a time entry six months later? The owner panel shows what changed, when, and by whom. Every write-off carries a reason. No silent edits, no missing money.
Owner audit panel
A firm-wide ledger of every mutation: time entry created, invoice sent, payment received, trust transaction posted. Before-and-after captured. Filter by timekeeper, matter, or date range. Export for your malpractice carrier on demand.
Shared matter with the rest of Lawdiem
The matter your discovery lives on is the matter you log time against. One client record, one trust account, one audit trail. No double-entry between the discovery tool and the billing tool.
Built-in collection helpers
Aged A/R by client (current / 30 / 60 / 90+ days). Work-in-progress reports so partners see what's billable but unbilled. Collection list with last-payment context.
