Time and billing · South Africa

Legal billing software that gets fee notes out and paid.

Unbilled work and unpaid fee notes are where a practice quietly loses money. AttorneyOS captures time against the matter as it happens, turns work in progress into a VAT-compliant fee note in one click, sends statements and reminders on a ladder you control, and shows you who has promised to pay and when.

What AttorneyOS does for time and billing.

Everything below is in the product today and opens on the first day of the trial. No demo, no implementation project.

Time that lands on the right matter

Capture time from the matter, the task or the diary entry, with the fee earner's rate applied automatically. Unbilled work per matter is always visible, and the month-end bill-all turns every matter's WIP into draft fee notes in a single step.

Fee notes SARS will accept

VAT-aware invoices with your VAT number, the client's details and the disbursements shown separately. Credit notes, part payments and write-offs are recorded against the invoice, with the VAT effect worked out for the return.

Fee quotes with a section 35(7) notice

Send a fee estimate the client can accept online. The Legal Practice Act cost notice is on the quote, and an accepted quote becomes the matter's budget, so the fee-estimate-exceeded alert fires before the conversation gets awkward.

Statements, reminders and interest

Monthly statements go out automatically. Overdue fee notes follow a reminder ladder that pauses when a client has promised to pay by a date, and resumes if the promise is not kept. Interest on overdue accounts is charged at the rate you set, shown separately and treated correctly for VAT.

Get paid without the phone call

Clients pay by card or EFT from the invoice link, receipts post to the invoice, and the ageing report shows every promise, every reminder and every partial payment per client.

Profitability you can act on

Realisation and collection rates, lock-up days, effective hourly rate and fees by practice area, worked out from the books rather than typed into a spreadsheet.

How firms start.

1

Open a workspace

Sign up with an email address. The workspace opens immediately with the demo matter so you can see real screens, not slides.

2

Run one real file

Bring in one live matter and work it for a week: capture, bill, diarise, reconcile. Import clients and matters by CSV when you are ready.

3

Choose a plan

Pick a plan and add a card through Paystack only when you decide to continue. Nothing you built is lost, and everything exports if you leave.

Questions attorneys ask.

Are AttorneyOS invoices valid tax invoices for VAT?

Fee notes carry the details a South African tax invoice needs, including your VAT registration number, the client's details, the VAT amount and disbursements shown separately. Firms not registered for VAT issue invoices without VAT.

Can I bill fixed fees as well as time?

Yes. Fixed-fee items, hourly time, disbursements and interest all sit on the same fee note, and a fee quote can be converted into a fixed-fee invoice on acceptance.

How do reminders work?

A reminder ladder you configure sends polite follow-ups at set intervals after the due date. Reminders pause while a recorded promise to pay stands and resume automatically if the date passes unpaid.

Does AttorneyOS charge interest on overdue accounts?

It can, at the annual rate you set in Settings. Interest is added as a separate line and treated as VAT-exempt.

Can clients pay online?

Yes. Invoices and statements carry a payment link; card payments are processed through Paystack and EFT proof can be recorded against the invoice.
