Are you satisfied with the accuracy and efficiency of your current fee billing process? If not, have you considered other ways of streamlining your billing and invoicing operations? A fully compliant fee billing solution that incorporates billing software may be a better option for you.
Fee Billing: Traditional vs Automated
Fee billing is a process that allows the client and the firm to agree on a set fee in advance for services to be rendered. The understanding is that the client will pay the fee once the service is complete. Usually, the business sends out an invoice to the client.
Traditionally, professional firms charge clients for billable hours. Clients often find this frustrating as the fee is not set, since hours are variable. With fee billing, a flat fee is quoted ahead of time. Changes to this flat fee can be made with authorization from the client.
Nowadays, more businesses and institutions are using fee billing software to manage their billing processes. Manual billing, as described above, relies on a manual billing process which is time-intensive and often error-prone. This can negatively impact your firm’s revenues and client relationships.
Automated fee billing allows you to implement a software solution to process your billing.
