“If timesheet entry is easy and quick, it encourages staff to keep them up to date; late or inaccurate timesheets will affect debtor’s days and write offs. With CCH Practice Management, appointments entered in Microsoft Outlook can be turned directly into timesheet entries so the information only has to be entered once.”

“The home pages help me keep track of what’s happening in the practice. I can keep an eye on WIP, debtors, what people are working on and how long they’ve spent on each job. Many of our clients have been with the firm for a long time and they don’t expect their fees to fluctuate too much, year on year, so it’s important to avoid excessive over-runs and write offs. I’m solely responsible for the billing but there are five other fee earners in the firm, so it’s very useful to have this kind of information at my fingertips.”
