Expense Management Made Easy: Rocket Matter’s Solutions for Law Firm Expenses

4 ways Rocket Matter makes expense management easy as 1-2-3 

Expenses don’t magically manage themselves. You need the right people, the right processes— and, you guessed it—the right tools to keep them, well, manageable.  

Enter Rocket Matter. Rocket Matter helps you create streamlined expense management systems that allow you to focus on serving your clients and practicing law.  

Consider four specific features that make navigating expense management as easy as 1-2-3. 

1. Automated expense capture and receipt management

Navigating through mountains of receipts and manual entries leaves you open to overlooking or misfiling expenses, which can cause inaccuracies in billing and financial reporting. 

Rocket Matter Track brings order and efficiency through automated expense capture and receipt management. The automation reduces the need to save receipts and manually enter data with features like email integration for digital receipts and mobile app functionality that lets you snap pictures of paper receipts on the go.  

With this at your fingertips, you can track and allocate every dollar spent accurately in real time. 

The software also ensures compliance and accuracy with its advanced categorization algorithms and customizable expense categories. These categories help you precisely tag and allocate each expense to the appropriate client or matter.   

2. Transparent client reimbursement processes

Client reimbursement requires meticulous expense tracking to ensure clients are billed accurately and on time. But this task, while vital to transparency and compliance, can be a significant administrative burden and eat up resources that you could use on client services.  

The challenge lies in tracking the expenses in a transparent and understandable way for clients, who rightfully expect clarity and accountability in billing. 

Rocket Matter’s billing software simplifies this intricate process. It can handle both billable and non-billable expenses so that only appropriate expenses are passed on to clients.  

It also features tools for timely client reimbursement for incurred expenses, such as integrated invoicing and payment processing functionalities. These features allow you to create detailed, itemized bills that display reimbursable expenses. The benefits are manifold: 

• Streamlines the approval and payment process. 
• Alleviates the burden of manual billing practices 
• Promotes a culture of transparency with clients 
• Boosts efficiency so you can focus more on your practice and less on administrative tasks 

3. Integration with billing and financial reporting

Achieving seamless integration between expense management, billing, and financial reporting is no cakewalk. However, disparate systems and manual reconciliation processes can lead to inaccuracies, delayed billing, and a lack of real-time financial insights.  

Rocket Matter addresses these challenges head-on by offering seamless integration between expense management, billing, and financial reporting.  

Our time-tracking and billing software offers features such as:   

• Direct integration with accounting software like QuickBooks Online  
• Adding necessary LEDES billing codes as you add time and expenses 
• Detailed, up-to-date billing reports with just a few clicks  
• Time and expense capture screens so you can track billable hours from anywhere 

With this harmonious integration, expenses get captured and categorized accurately and updated in real-time in client bills and financial statements. The result? A streamlined flow of financial data that leads to better decision-making and increased billing transparency and accuracy. 

4. Mobile capabilities for capturing and managing expenses on the go

It’s no secret that legal professionals are often on the move—meeting with clients, attending court sessions, doing research, and working remotely. This mobility can make it challenging to track and manage expenses as they occur. 

There’s a definite need for a solution that keeps pace with the modern legal professionals’ on-the-go lifestyle, and Rocket Matter rises to the occasion with its mobile capabilities.  

Through our mobile time-tracking app, you can: 

• Quickly record expenses in real-time 
• Snap photos of receipts for digital storage

This immediate capture and categorization means that expenses are logged accurately and efficiently, reducing the risk of those all-too-common forgotten or misplaced receipts. It’s also user-friendly and intuitive, so you can manage expenses without disrupting your workday flow.  

By enabling you to manage expenses as they occur, Rocket Matter also creates a more accurate and timely billing process that enhances cash flow and reduces administrative burden at the end of the billing cycle.
