Billing AND Bookkeeping Services
Outsourcing your billing and bookkeeping allows you more time to concentrate on providing the best product or service to your clients. Since different firms require different billing and bookkeeping approaches, Watson™ works with you to develop a tailored approach and efficient process to get invoices out quickly and keep your books up-to-date.
Billing Services
Our standard billing process involves 3 basic steps:
You provide all your billing data for the period and we enter everything into your firm's billing system.
We deliver to you draft invoices for editing. You return all draft invoices with edits and billing instructions to Watson™.
We process your edits, prepare final invoices and send them out or return them to you for mailing, at your direction. Watson™ then provides you a report for the billing cycle.
