The Challenges You Face
Common obstacles for law firm billing teams.
Revenue Leakage Is Invisible
Write-downs, write-offs, and unrealized time erode profitability but are buried across billing systems. Without unified analytics, the billing team can't pinpoint where revenue is leaking or why.
Collections Cycle Is Too Slow
Aging receivables pile up while the team manually tracks follow-ups across spreadsheets. There's no single view of which clients are past due, how much is at risk, or what actions to prioritize.
WIP Visibility Comes Too Late
Work-in-progress builds up silently until month-end. By the time billing reviews unbilled time, the window to bill accurately, or at all, has narrowed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Basedash from law firm teams.
How does Basedash help law firm billing teams find revenue leakage?
Basedash surfaces write-downs, write-offs, and unrealized time in a single revenue cycle dashboard covering the full lifecycle from time entry to collection. You can track realization rates, effective rates, and write-off trends by practice group, client, and timekeeper, then drill into questions like 'How many hours were written off vs. collected last month?' to pinpoint exactly where revenue is leaking and why.
Can Basedash monitor WIP aging and alert us before matters become hard to bill?
Yes. Basedash gives billing teams real-time visibility into unbilled time across the firm and lets you set thresholds on WIP aging. When a matter crosses your limit, for example more than $50K in WIP over 90 days, the team gets an alert automatically instead of discovering the problem at month-end, when the window to bill accurately has already narrowed.
How does Basedash connect to our existing billing system?
Basedash connects read-only to the operational databases behind your billing and practice management platforms, such as Aderant or Elite 3E. Invoices, time entries, payments, and aging data flow into one analytics layer, in some cases through staging tables Switch Analytics sets up during implementation. Your billing workflows do not change, and most firms validate realization and collections numbers against existing reports and start querying within a few weeks.
Is client billing data secure in Basedash, and who can see it?
Client billing data in Basedash is protected by role-based permissions, encrypted connections, and query-level audit logs. Access is scoped by role, so a billing coordinator can see aging and collections detail while other users see only aggregates for their own groups. Connections to the databases staged from Aderant or Elite are read-only, meaning Basedash never writes back to or alters your billing system of record.
