Yes, we leverage Stripe's world-class security and functionality for our Payments.
”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. “
David Holl
Firm Operations Manager McKean Smith
"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 Holtzman Vogel
“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."
Aimee Gannon
Operations Manager Gonser & Gonser, PA
"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."
Christine Giles
Office Administrator Bollier Ciccone, LLP
“[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.”
Izzy Guerra
Director of Technology and Strategic Project Harris Family Law
"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."
