Financial guidance for partnership-led law firms

We become the financial voice at your partners' meeting.

Partner compensation, succession, collections, and profitability by practice area — handled by people who sit at the table with you, so the managing partner stops being the money person too.

Law Firm · What we hear

What's holding law firm owners back.

Partner comp turns into a fight

Year-end draws and bonus splits stall because no one trusts the numbers underneath origination, working credit, and overhead allocations.

Succession has no financial plan

Buy-in, buy-out, and partner retirement get discussed in principle — but the cash, capital accounts, and goodwill math never gets done.

You can't tell which practice area pays

Litigation, real estate, corporate, family — they're all 'busy', but no one can show which area is actually funding the firm.

How we help

Expert financial guidance for law firm owners — without hiring another executive.

Partner compensation models that hold up

Scenario-based comp, origination credit, and distribution models — built so year-end conversations start from numbers every partner can defend.

Profitability by practice area

See contribution margin by group, by partner, and by matter type — including allocated overhead — so resourcing decisions stop being political.

Succession and partner transitions, planned

Buy-in / buy-out math, capital account modeling, and cash impact of a partner exit or admission, modeled before you commit.

Smart automation

Quietly do more, with less manual work.

  • Smart scoring of which matters and clients make money
  • Automatic alerts on aging WIP and AR by responsible lawyer
  • Realization and lockup forecasts by practice area
Clearer numbers

Reports you’ll actually open — and trust.

  • Monthly partner packages ready before the partners' meeting
  • Profit by practice area and originating partner
  • Realization, utilization, and lockup at lawyer level

A real partner

The financial voice at your partners' meeting.

Your managing partner shouldn't have to be the money person too. We sit beside the management committee — running comp models, profitability by practice area, succession math, and collections discipline — so the partners make decisions on numbers everyone trusts.
