Can I control how much clients pay on their bills?
Clients can pay the outstanding balance, current charges, or enter a custom amount.
Can I customize our pre-bill workflow?
Yes! With Automated Workflows, you can choose who your pre-bills flow to.
Can I move billing entries on bills to different rows?
Yes! You can place any billing entry on any row in a bill. Because we know insurance can be fickle, we’ve taken every effort to make sure you’re not having to go back and forth over small items like billing entries and task activity codes.
When do bills get assigned a trackable number?
As soon as you create a pre-bill, bill numbers are generated for said pre-bill. Even when you unpost and repost a bill, that bill has the same number from the pre-bill. So you don’t run the risk of losing bills on our platform.
Do I have to generate all bills at once in Centerbase, or can I filter which types of bills I want to generate?
You can filter your bills into different buckets to generate. So you’re not mass generating bills for every client and then having to delete the ones you won’t be billing for this cycle.

High-performing law firms rely on
Centerbase’s billing

”Part of the reason why we adopted the ePre-bill approval process module you offer now was so we could incorporate your workflows into it. We’ve always approved our pre-bills electronically, but we had no easy way to monitor how much the attorneys were discounting until after the fact. Now, the workflow uses several parameters to determine the level of discounting and will route any bills that exceed our thresholds to the partners for their review. This has basically eliminated the problem. It was a huge giveaway, and now the firm's significantly benefiting from the new process. “

"Centerbase has absolutely improved our ability to generate invoices and get paid quickly for our accounts. It gives back that valuable resource to our employees which is time since all of our work is billable time."
Aimee Gannon
Operations Manager
Gonser & Gonser, PA
“We have grown so much that it allows me to stay on top of billing. What once took an entire month, I can now go from start to finish by the 20th of the month. A feat not possible with Harvest, the software Centerbase replaced.”
Donna Smith
Firm Administrator

“Bringing in the full billing history was a big priority for us. Centerbase was the only one who said they could do that.”
Kim Edwards
Director of Operations and Paralegal
Allison & Mosby-Scott
"Our attorneys can review their pre-bills electronically, and we can send them out with a click of a button. Most certainly that has definitely changed and helped our most valuable asset which are our attorneys since they are of course the highest billers of the firm. And it's really given them back time."

Operations Manager
Gonser & Gonser, PA
“Centerbase is user friendly, and it’s easy to navigate. The email bill function is easy, and we can always go back to check all the details in their separate matters.”

"When you run bills, being able to tell it whether or not to automatically apply the retainer payment - some products don't do that. You have to manually apply it for every single invoice."

“[Automated Workflows and ePre-bill] cuts down on a lot of time, and admin time. Specifically, entering changes that people wrote in red pen on a piece of paper. That saved us a ton of time.”

"[Automated Workflows and ePre-bill] made it easier to get paid on the work we're doing."

“What we’re most excited about is how trackable everything is. When a pre-bill becomes a posted bill, when it gets emailed, all that stuff. That's really helpful.”
Eve Kramer
Firm Administrator
"As soon as we send our invoices, we get calls in about 15 to 20 minutes for payments of account. When before we'd have to mail them out to our clients, and then maybe not get payment for weeks. Hopefully within that same month but not even guaranteed on that either."
