Law, Accounting and Professional Services

Law firms, accounting practices and other professional firms sell judgment, and lose hours to intake, document handling and chasing clients. We build systems that do the gathering and the first drafts, and leave every professional decision to your people.

Where the Week Goes

The day-to-day work that eats the week, before anyone gets to the work that grows the business.

  1. Answering and screening new inquiries before anyone knows whether the matter or client is a fit
  2. Keying data from the documents clients send: statements, forms, contracts and receipts
  3. Chasing clients for missing documents and signatures, worst of all in busy season
  4. Writing first-draft summaries, memos and routine letters from the file
  5. Giving the status updates clients ask for by phone and email
  6. Capturing billable time and preparing invoices at the end of the month

What We'd Build

Each system is built around how your team already works. It starts read-only, then drafts, then acts with approval, and a person signs off wherever a mistake would matter.

Intake Screening

Answers new inquiries day or night, collects what your intake form asks for, gathers the names your team needs for a conflict check and books a consultation. It is set up to decline legal, tax or financial questions and hand them to a person, and a person decides which clients and matters to take.

Works with tools like

  • Practice management (Clio, MyCase, Karbon)
  • Scheduling (Calendly, Microsoft Bookings)
  • Website forms

Document Intake and Extraction

Reads the documents clients upload, pulls the fields you need into your practice or tax software, and flags anything unclear for a person to check. Nothing is filed without review.

Works with tools like

  • Client portals (TaxDome, SmartVault, ShareFile)
  • Accounting and tax software (QuickBooks, Drake, UltraTax)

Document and Signature Chasing

Keeps a live list of what each client still owes you, sends polite reminders on the schedule you set, and stops as soon as the item arrives.

Works with tools like

  • Client portals (TaxDome, ShareFile)
  • E-signature (DocuSign, Adobe Acrobat Sign)
  • Email (Outlook, Gmail)

First Drafts for Professional Review

Drafts summaries, memos and routine letters from the file on your firm's templates. A lawyer or accountant reviews and edits every draft, and nothing reaches a client unreviewed.

Works with tools like

  • Microsoft Word
  • Document management (NetDocuments, iManage)
  • Practice management (Clio, Karbon)

Client Status Updates

Drafts a short update from what changed in the matter or engagement, so clients hear from you before they call. A person approves each update before it is sent.

Works with tools like

  • Practice management (Clio, MyCase, Karbon)
  • Email (Outlook, Gmail)

Time Capture and Billing Prep

Suggests time entries from calendar, email and document activity for each professional to confirm, then prepares draft invoices for review.

Works with tools like

  • Practice management (Clio, MyCase)
  • Accounting software (QuickBooks, Xero)

Tool names are examples of software that businesses in this field commonly use, not partnerships or finished integrations. We connect to what you already run, and confirm each connection in the written proposal.

What Changes for You

  • Professionals spending more of the day on judgment work and less on gathering and re-keying
  • Faster replies to new inquiries, with the screening done before the first conversation
  • Fewer stalled files waiting on a missing document or signature
  • Built for confidentiality: client data kept in accounts set up for your firm, access is limited to each task, and a professional reviews anything that leaves the firm

How It Could Look

Busy Season at a Small Practice

Picture an accounting practice in the run-up to a filing deadline, with client uploads arriving at all hours. The extraction step pulls the figures into the workpapers and flags a blurry statement for a person to check. The chaser reminds the clients who are still missing documents, and skips the ones who uploaded that morning. The partners spend their evenings reviewing returns instead of hunting for paperwork.
