Cash Flow for Small Law Firms

Billing lag and trust accounting make cash invisible. Fix that in 72 hours.

Small law firms carry staff costs against billed hours that take 45–90 days to collect. The Sprint maps your billing cycle and collection timing into a 13-week view so you know when the cash actually arrives.

  • 13-week cash map
  • 3 what-if scenarios: slow-paying client, capacity ramp, payment dispute
  • 72-hour delivery — pay nothing if it's late
  • 5-min weekly update — yours to run

Billed hours and collected cash are weeks apart

You bill in October. You collect in December. Staff costs run every week. The Sprint maps that collection timing explicitly so the gap is visible before it's painful.

Contingency cases carry cost with no guaranteed inflow

Contingency matters are expensive to run and uncertain to close. Scenario tabs let you model case outcomes and their cash impact side by side.

Trust account activity obscures operating cash

Retainer trust balances aren't operating revenue — but they show up in your accounts. The Sprint separates trust activity from operating cash so the picture is accurate.

Best fit

Small law firms with 2–20 attorneys using QuickBooks Online or Xero, with hourly, retainer, or contingency billing.

Does the Sprint handle trust accounting separately?

Yes. Trust account inflows and disbursements are tracked separately from operating cash in the model.

What if we have seasonal case loads?

Seasonal patterns are captured in the model using your historical data. The 13-week view is especially useful for firms with predictable slow periods.
