Managing finances in a law firm is about more than just paying bills—it’s about maintaining trust, transparency, and compliance. Whether you’re handling client-related disbursements, operating expenses, or recurring overhead, your accounts payable process must be secure, accurate, and efficient. That’s where Expense Focused comes in.
We specialize in setting up and managing accounts payable for law firms, powered by Ramp, a modern AP automation platform. Our service helps streamline your law firm’s expense policies, approval workflows, and vendor payments, saving time and reducing administrative complexity—while ensuring compliance with legal and financial best practices.
Every law firm is unique, with distinct billing practices, approval structures, and trust accounting responsibilities. Expense Focused customizes every implementation to fit your operations. We’ll design an expense policy that governs who can spend, how much they can spend, and what documentation is required.
Our automated systems route invoices to the appropriate partners or administrators for review and approval. Whether it’s office rent, software subscriptions, or expert witness fees, each payment is properly authorized, logged, and tracked.
Law firms must maintain high standards of financial control. We make that easier by automating tasks that traditionally consumed countless staff hours. With Ramp, expense submissions are digitized, categorized, and flagged if they violate your firm’s policy.
Our team ensures all expenses are reconciled and synced with your accounting software. You’ll have access to detailed reports that show spending by department, partner, or case type, helping you make informed decisions about resource allocation.
For law firms managing client trust accounts, accuracy and timing are everything. We ensure that client-related disbursements are paid on time, recorded accurately, and never mixed with firm operating expenses.
We also handle vendor payments for recurring services, from litigation support firms to professional liability insurance providers. Ramp’s platform allows us to monitor the full cycle—from invoice receipt to final payment—while maintaining audit trails for every transaction.
Whether you’re a boutique law office or a multi-location practice, we help create an accounts payable system that supports financial transparency, audit readiness, and growth.
We provide customized dashboards and detailed reports that help firm leadership understand where money is being spent, which departments or cases are most resource-intensive, and how financial resources can be optimized. Use this data to adjust budgeting, staffing, or operational decisions—and gain peace of mind knowing your financial operations are fully documented and audit-ready.
