Keep track of your Time.


Processing time can be a time-consuming process!

You can quickly edit unbilled time entries (or write-off unbilled time entries) and transfer time across clients and matters.

Of course you could also see all posted entries sent over from Amicus Attorney.

Keep track of your Expenses.

Enter and manage everything related to expenses, from recording expenses and editing unbilled expense entries to transfer expenses across clients or matters. You can even write-off unbilled expense entries. Once you've completed your task, you can then quickly issue individual payments or batch process your checks.
Generate Bills.

This flexible billing program enables you to generate bills for either individual client files or for all client files by name, matter number or file number, and by any combination of Responsible or Assigned Lawyer, File Type and Billing Cycle. Of course, not only can you create bills, you can also reverse and print bills - for single clients or multiple clients. Amicus Accounting also offers pre-billing functionality, the ability to reprint bills, plus it can issue A/R reminder statements, with (or without) interest!
Manage your Receivables.


The Receipts module is amazingly flexible. Amicus Accounting lets you enter client payments including general retains and firm recipts. Enter payments from a matter with multiple invoices in just one step.

Amicus Accounting also makes it easy to identify outstanding accounts prmptly. AR reports detail matters with outstanding accounts and trust balances so you can pa AR and iomporve cashflow and collections.

Amicus Accounting offers a broad Accounts Payable Module that allows you to add, edit and pay vendors, or automatically reverse checks. Utilize the onscreen drilldown capability to modify A/P invoices. You can also quickly view key vendor information here (through the "vendor inquiry" button). In addition, this module offers support for forms 1099 and 1096.

Total Trust Accounting.

Trust accounting is one of the elements that differentiates legal accounting from general business accounting. Amicus Accounting's extensive Trust Accounting Module includes recording receipts, enter and editing trust checks, plus the ability to transfer trust funds to pay A/R invoices. Transfers can come from regular or interest-bearing trust accounts.
Robust Reporting

Amicus Accounting includes more than 50 reports, including Billing Reports, Management Reports, Financial Reports and Income Statements.
Client Matter Details & Account Inquiries.


Clients are the heart of your business and the beginning of any billing process. The detailed Clients Module lets you create and update everything related to client matter details in one easy-to-navigate module. This includes the ability to track transaction by client and matter! And as an additional security feature, you can control access to the screens people view, so if you don' t want anyone to change your Client Matter information, you can lock everyone out.

The Inquiry Module provides secure, view-only access to key accounting information, including client matter files, general ledger and vendors data. Since it's "view only," nothing here can be edited or manipulated.

The Client Matter Details screen and the Account Inquiry screen show a wealth of critical information. With a click of the mouse, you can see all the client data and account information in one central location! In addition, you can access time, expense, trust and A/R details with drilldown.
