Bailout Your Lost Billable Time
By Neil J. Squillante
Still waiting for your bailout? Don't hold your breath. You're small enough to fail so the government doesn't care about you (except when you run payroll). You're going to have to save yourself. To do that, you need to prevent billable time from slipping through the cracks.
Easy TimeBill ... in One Sentence
EasySoft's Easy TimeBill is a desktop application that enables you track and enter billable time, create bills, receive payments, and manage your bank accounts.
The Killer Feature
Do you plan to break free of the billable hour and charge flat fees instead? Good for you. But you'll still need to track your time.
Easy TimeBill enables you to track time for fixed fee matters so that you can assess their profitability. Eventually, you'll be able to adjust your rates so that you earn more than if you billed by the hour.
Other Notable Features
If you still need to bill your time, Easy TimeBill can handle that as well other forms of billing such as contingency. It also manages retainers.
Multiple timers enable you to track your time as you move from one task to another and back again. You can post time entries individually or on a weekly basis.
Although each lawyer at your firm can use Easy TimeBill, your firm can alternatively use just one license to enter time for an unlimited number of timekeepers.
Easy TimeBill also offers basic accounting features. You can reconcile bank accounts, create and print checks, record, payments, etc. If you use EasySoft's Easy Trust software, you can also view balances in client trust accounts.
What Else Should You Know?
Easy TimeBill runs on Windows. The first license costs $199. Each additional license costs $99. You can download a demo before buying the software. Learn more about Easy TimeBill.
