Give your whole team one system to work from
As a small firm grows past one or two people, the informal systems that worked for a sole practice start to break down, matters get missed, billing slips, and nobody has full visibility into what the rest of the team is doing. Smokeball centralises every matter, document, and communication so your whole team works from the same information.
Automatic time tracking and built-in billing keep revenue flowing as caseloads grow, while workflow templates make sure new hires follow the same process as your most experienced staff. Firm-wide reporting gives partners visibility into performance without needing to ask each team member for an update.
Team-wide visibility
See every matter's status, deadlines, and assigned staff from one shared system, not scattered spreadsheets and inboxes.
Consistent workflows
Standardise how your firm handles common matter types, so quality doesn't depend on who's handling the file.
Firm performance reporting
Track revenue, utilisation, and profitability by practice area or team member as your firm grows.
