Smokeball is unlike any legal practice management software because of how all your firm’s activity is captured and saved back to the matter. Our automatic time tracking means you’ll never miss another billable minute and can easily send custom invoices and collect payments.
More frequent invoicing means your chances of getting paid go up, so get a handle on your bills with Smokeball Billing. Whether you work for an hourly fee, flat fee, or on contingency, Smokeball Billing is a powerful tool that improves efficiency for all users, billers and bookkeepers alike.
Unlike server-based billing systems, you don’t need a computer science degree to bill accurately and quickly on each file with a secure, cloud based application.
Smokeball Billing’s features, functionality, and integrations are powerful yet simple and easy to use. Because Smokeball Billing is completely integrated and included with your legal and conveyancing software, your business runs completely from one seamless system.
With Smokeball, you can be confident that all your billing activity will be recorded. Our seamless integration with Xero and MYOB* ensures that you can look after your client's money safely.
When an invoice is paid in Smokeball Billing, the receipt of funds into your office bank account in Xero or MYOB is seamless. Smokeball Billing does this by posting journal entries in your Xero or MYOB books.
To get started, all you need to do is switch on the integration in firm settings by authorising Smokeball Billing to connect to your MYOB or Xero account.
* MYOB integration is with MYOB Essentials and AccountRight only.

You’ll be able to receive daily updates looking at firm profitability and create detailed reports on what you’ve worked on per day, by staff member and matter, all in one system with no need to add additional law office software or portals.

3. Better client experience
