Finocket for Lawyers
Bill your clients and keep your legal practice's books
Log time per client, turn it into fee note lines, run monthly retainers, record the TDS a client deducts, and hand your year to your CA. Finocket is the billing and books layer, not a case-management app.
The problems we fix first
Time spent on a client is never fully billed
Today: Hours are noted in a diary and totted up when the fee note is written.
With Finocket: Log time per client with the timer and turn unbilled time into fee note lines.
Monthly retainer bills raised by memory
Today: A clerk copies last month's fee note and changes the date.
With Finocket: A recurring rule raises the retainer fee note on schedule.
TDS deducted by clients is hard to match to fees
Today: Receipts net of TDS are entered as the amount received, and the TDS is reconstructed at year end.
With Finocket: Record each receipt net of the TDS the client deducted, and see the TDS per client.
