Executive dashboard for legal

In short

A executive dashboard for a legal business tackles one specific leak: the numbers that tell you whether the firm is healthy, work in progress, billable hours against target, matters opened and closed, aged debtors, trust balances, live in LEAP or Actionstep, in Xero, and in a partner's spreadsheet, and none of them line up. Assembling a true picture takes days, so by the time you see a problem, it is well advanced. Bamco builds it around the tools you already run, so it fits your operation rather than forcing you to change how you work.

The specific leak this plugs

The numbers that tell you whether the firm is healthy, work in progress, billable hours against target, matters opened and closed, aged debtors, trust balances, live in LEAP or Actionstep, in Xero, and in a partner's spreadsheet, and none of them line up. Assembling a true picture takes days, so by the time you see a problem, it is well advanced.

This is not a generic problem with a generic tool bolted on. It is a specific leak in a legal business, and the system is built to close it. You can see the full picture of where a legal business leaks margin on the legal industry page.

What Bamco builds

A dashboard that pulls practice and financial data from the systems you already run, your practice management tool, your accounting package, your time recording, and puts WIP, billings, matter throughput, aged debtors and utilisation on one screen, current. It surfaces the matters and fee earners trending the wrong way, and lets you drill from the firm view into a single practice group or matter. We build the integrations so the numbers pull live rather than being keyed in.

Two ways in
Ready to talk to the team who would build it?

Bring us the idea you already have, or book an audit and we map where the money is leaking. Either way, you deal directly with the senior team that designs and builds it.

What changes in week one, and by month three

Week one. From week one you stop waiting for the monthly report, because the current position of the firm is on one screen, pulled from the same systems your team already uses.

Month three. By month three you are catching the matters and the debtors that slip early, while there is still time to act, rather than discovering it in a month-end report when the write-off is already unavoidable.

What it costs

Engagements typically start around $50k and are scoped after a systems audit, priced as a fraction of what a legacy build of the same capability would have quoted. You get a fixed-scope proposal with a real number before anything is built, and you own what we build. The point is not the price. It is that a well-built executive dashboard for a legal business is meant to pay for itself in multiples, by plugging a leak that is costing you every week it stays open.

Common questions

Questions, answered

Can it pull WIP from LEAP and debtors from Xero at the same time?
Yes, that is the point of building one. We build the integrations into your practice management and accounting systems, and present live WIP, billings, matter throughput and aged debtors on one screen, so numbers from tools that never talked finally line up.
Will it work with the tools our legal business already uses?
Yes. Bamco builds around and into your existing stack, tools like LEAP, Smokeball, Actionstep and the rest of what you run, rather than asking you to replace them. The executive dashboard connects to what you have so data flows instead of being re-keyed, and you keep the systems your team already knows.
