Let’s be honest: The only thing harder than working for a client is actually collecting payment for the work you provided.
For many law firms, the Accounts Receivable list is a source of constant anxiety. It’s the place where hard work goes to sit in limbo. You’ve done the legal work, you’ve sent the invoice, and now… silence.
But here is the hard truth: If you are managing your Accounts Receivable with outdated software or by asking your assistant, "Has client X paid yet?", you are actively bleeding revenue.
The cost isn't just the unpaid invoices; it's the time spent chasing them, the stress of the uncertainty, and the administrative lag that keeps cash out of your operating account.
Modern firms aren't just tracking who owes them money; they are using intelligent dashboards to visualize where the money is and how to get it. Here is how Nojumi eliminates the hidden costs of collections.
The greatest tragedy in legal billing isn't a client who can't pay; it's a client who has paid, but the money is sitting stuck in your Trust account while your invoices sit overdue.
You have outstanding invoices on one side and a trust balance on the other, but because your systems are disconnected, it doesn't connect the dots. You waste time calling your accounting team when you should be transferring the funds.
The Nojumi Fix: We added a simple, powerful visual cue to your Accounting dashboard: The Dollar Sign.
When you scan your list of all outstanding invoices in Nojumi, a Dollar Sign icon instantly alerts you if there are funds available in that matter’s Trust account.
It serves as a green light that says: "Transfer this money to your General Account right now." It turns your Invoice list from a source of stress into a list of immediate deposits.
Lawyers hate chasing clients for money. It often feels unprofessional, awkward, or aggressive. As a result, many lawyers wait months before sending a follow-up.
But data shows that consistency beats one-time follow-ups. Firms that use automated reminders get paid significantly faster because they stay at the top of the client's inbox.
Nojumi allows you to configure friendly, professional, and consistent automated email reminders.
"Did I send that reminder? Or did I just think about sending it?"
Managing collections mentally is a recipe for disaster. In Nojumi, you never have to guess the status of your follow-ups. The system provides a detailed history of every automated reminder sent; date, time, and recipient are shown directly on the invoice details.
This is also your safeguard. Hopefully, you never have to sue a client for unpaid fees. But if you do, your documentation needs to be airtight. Because Nojumi logs every interaction, you have an instant, defensible audit trail proving that you made reasonable requests for payment.
In many legacy systems, receiving a payment is just the start of the paperwork. You receive the check, but then you have to tell the accounting department, who then has to manually find the invoice and key in the data to mark it as "Paid."
In Nojumi, we believe in a seamless workflow. When a payment is made, via our credit card links, Nojumi automatically marks the invoice as Paid.
There is no downtime. There is no manual reconciliation. The invoice moves from "Awaiting Payment" to "Paid" instantly. This allows you to manage your cash flow in real-time, rather than waiting for an end-of-month report to see where you stand.
Your invoice page shouldn't just be a static list of names; it should be a diagnostic tool.
By consolidating all outstanding invoices into a single view with details on reminder history and trust fund availability, Nojumi acts as a constant cash flow check.
You can identify trends in the data that Nojumi provides:
You didn’t go to law school to become a debt collector.
The hidden costs of a manual Accounts Receivable process: the time, the stress, and the delay are eating into your margins. Switch to Nojumi to visualize your funds, automate the chase, and get paid faster for the work you’ve already done.
