Legal Billing Assistant
A finance focused professional who manages time entry, invoice preparation, payment tracking, and collections to keep your firm's revenue cycle running smoothly.
A legal billing assistant from DocketHire ensures your firm gets paid accurately and on time. From reviewing and entering attorney time records to generating invoices, tracking payments, and following up on outstanding balances, your billing assistant manages the revenue cycle so attorneys and partners can focus on legal work instead of chasing money.
Inefficient billing costs law firms thousands of dollars in lost revenue every month. Late time entries, unbilled work, and inconsistent invoicing erode profitability and frustrate clients. A dedicated DocketHire billing assistant brings discipline and consistency to your billing process, ensuring every billable hour is captured and every invoice goes out on schedule.
Our billing assistants are experienced with legal billing software and understand the unique requirements of law firm accounting, including trust account protocols, LEDES billing formats, and client specific billing guidelines. They work within your existing systems to produce clean, accurate invoices that reflect the value your firm delivers.
