Enabling 'Matter Budgets'.
What is the purpose of a Matter Budget?
Due to specific client needs, certain Matters require a budget. Your firm may encounter times when a client is uneasy about moving forward with a case, due to budget concerns. The client may agree to a retainer, but is anxious about overspending and needs the ability to maintain the financial stamina to see a case all the way through.
The Matter Budget Report gives you control over this fear by setting a limit on the amount of money that can be billed for the Matter. You can assuage your client’s worry with this simple and efficient report that will show you how much has been billed and how close you are to exceeding your client’s budget.

The 'Matter Budget Report' can be generated for any Matters at any time; even if you are already halfway through a case and your client presents the need for a budget, you can quickly establish one within the Matter. If you wish to take your reporting a step further or to share this information with your client, this report can be easily exported to Microsoft Excel.
1. Select 'Reports' from the left-hand navigation panel.
