Client Management System (CMS) is a powerful database for managing clients, projects, time records, expense records, and phone calls.

CMS was designed for attorneys with the help of an attorney (who complained often about the costly, overly complex, and difficult to use software on the market).

Therefore, CMS was designed to be cost effective, easy to learn, and above all... easy to use. (It can also be used by other businesses needing to record these types of data.)

Client Management Software

CMS will save you time, save you money, and help you maintain accurate records because CMS:

  • Eliminates the drudgery of writing time records, phone records, and expenses by hand.
    • You can, of course, always write these by hand and enter them into CMS at your convenience.
  • Eliminates errors in addition and subtraction.
  • Reduces billing rate mistakes.
  • Reduces and/or eliminates errors in recording and maintaining:
    • Time.
    • Expenses.
    • Credits.

The base package includes the following six (6) integrated modules:

  1. Billing Descriptions and Charges -- describes charges (hourly and flat rate) and expenses (mileage, copies, etc.).
  2. Clients -- records various information about your clients.
  3. Client Billing Account -- records credits and debits.
  4. Projects -- describes a client's various projects.
  5. Time Keepers -- describes those allowed to enter time records.
  6. Time Records -- records time records, phone slips (non-billable time records), expenses, and credits given to a client.
