Running the firm
Run the Firm on the Same Calendar as the Work
Jobs that come from each client’s obligations, a board by stage, reviews before anything is filed, timesheets, capacity and firm billing. The partner sees the whole firm at nine in the morning.

Questions
Practice management Questions
Ask anything else in the demo, with the product open.
Can we bill clients from OneTrails?
Yes. Firm invoices, recurring retainers and payment links are built in, with proposals and profitability on Professional and above.
Does it replace our task tracker?
For client work, yes. Jobs come from each client’s obligations, so the board and the compliance calendar are the same thing.
Can we set who reviews what?
Yes. Roles decide who can prepare and who can approve, and custom roles come with Professional and above.
