Early preview of the LedgesBill dashboard.

Every rejected invoice costs you weeks of cash flow and hours of rework.

Silent write-offs add up

Insurance carriers reject line items for task code violations, block billing, and rate overages. Most firms write off 15-25% of billed time because reworking old invoices isn't worth the effort.

Each carrier has different rules

Hartford caps block billing at 0.3 hours. Travelers requires specific UTBMS codes. Liberty Mutual has rate ceilings by timekeeper level. Your billing team is supposed to know all of this by heart.

Your billing team is the bottleneck

With 150+ invoices a month, manual review means mistakes slip through. New hires don't know carrier-specific rules. When your billing manager is out, rejections spike.

The old way vs. the LedgesBill way.

The Old Way

45+ minutes per bill review

Paralegals manually cross-reference every entry against outside counsel guidelines.

Block billing slips through

Vague time entries and bundled tasks get approved because nobody has time to catch them.

Rate card violations missed

Wrong rates applied across dozens of matters — discovered months later during audits.

No audit trail

When carriers ask why a bill was approved, you're scrambling to reconstruct the review.

With LedgesBill

15-second bill review

Every line item scanned against your firm's billing guidelines automatically.

Block billing flagged instantly

Vague entries, bundled tasks, and excessive time are highlighted before approval.

Rate compliance enforced

Every timekeeper's rate checked against the approved rate card — zero exceptions.

Complete audit trail

Every review decision documented with timestamps, flags, and adjustments.

Billing managers and finance directors

You're responsible for cash flow and collections. Rejections mean delayed payments, manual rework, and write-offs that hit the bottom line every quarter.
