Implementation
How we implement client reporting automation for your professional services business.
Connect Practice Management Systems
Integrate LEAP, Actionstep, or your practice management platform to extract matter progress, time entries, disbursements, and billing data. Map data fields to reporting templates that align with your firm structure.
- ✓ Tools: LEAP, Actionstep, Make
Build Client-Facing Report Templates
Design professional templates covering matter status, work completed, upcoming steps, budget consumption against estimates, and key dates. Include trust account summaries where relevant, formatted for clarity rather than legal jargon.
- ✓ Tools: Google Docs, Canva, Make
Configure Delivery Schedules
Set monthly or milestone-triggered report generation. Complex matters receive fortnightly updates while routine work follows monthly cycles. Reports compile as branded PDFs and deliver via email with tracking.
- ✓ Tools: Make, Gmail, Zapier
Capture Client Feedback Signals
Monitor report open rates and client responses. Flag matters where clients have not acknowledged reports for two consecutive cycles, triggering partner-level follow-up to maintain the relationship.
