What Makes Us Different:
Quantifiable Gains for Your Bottom Line
Slash Processing Time by 70%
Slash Processing Time by 70%: Accounting teams in mid-sized law firms waste 15 hours weekly on manual entry of retainer invoices and expense reimbursements. Our custom AI automates OCR-based data extraction from PDF bills and intelligent routing to approvers, freeing staff for high-value work like estate planning tax strategies. Firms report recapturing 10-12 billable hours per accountant monthly, directly boosting partner utilization rates.
Achieve 5x Faster Month-End Closes
Achieve 5x Faster Month-End Closes: Manual reconciliations of IOLTA trust accounts delay financial reporting and erode client trust in advisory services. Our solution streamlines multi-level approvals and automated GL postings compliant with ABA Model Rules, cutting close times from 10 days to 2. This enhances cash flow forecasting accuracy for corporate clients and positions your firm as a strategic partner in litigation budgeting.
Zero-Tolerance Compliance with Built-In Audits
Zero-Tolerance Compliance with Built-In Audits: Navigating SOX 404, GDPR, and Rule 1.15 trust accounting is non-negotiable for legal and financial firms. Our AI performs real-time anomaly detection on transaction ledgers, flagging issues like unauthorized escrow withdrawals and reducing audit findings by 60%. Enjoy defensible audit trails with immutable logs, ensuring seamless passage of PCAOB or Bar Association reviews within quarterly cycles.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team spent Fridays buried in matching vendor invoices to contingency fee agreements for complex litigation retainers—it was exhausting and error-prone. Now, the system handles 90% automatically via AI-driven reconciliation, and we've cut errors on contingency payouts by half, avoiding two client disputes last quarter. Saved us about 18 hours a week, allowing reallocation to M&A advisory billing."
Sarah Jenkins
Controller, Thompson & Associates LLP (Specializing in Corporate Litigation)
"Implementing their custom automation transformed our AP process during peak tax season for SEC-registered clients. Invoices from international vendors used to take days to verify for SOX and GDPR compliance; now it's instant with automated flagging. ROI hit in two months through reduced overtime, and our external auditors praised the enhanced SOX 404 audit trail during our annual review."
Michael Rivera
Finance Director, Apex Financial Advisors (SEC-Compliant Wealth Management Firm)
"We were drowning in manual approvals for law firm disbursements from IOLTA trust accounts under tight ABA deadlines. AIQ's solution integrated seamlessly with our QuickBooks and Clio setup, reducing processing from 5 days to under 24 hours while ensuring Rule 1.15 compliance. It's like having an extra staff member who never errs on escrow regulations, saving us $15K in potential compliance fines last year."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your invoice automation ensure compliance with legal financial regulations?
Our custom AI systems are designed with built-in checks for regulations like SOX, GDPR, and ABA guidelines specific to trust accounts. We embed rule-based validation during data extraction and approval, automatically flagging issues like mismatched retainers or unauthorized disbursements. For instance, in legal accounting, the system cross-references invoices against client agreements to prevent compliance breaches. We've audited these features with firms handling international cases, ensuring 100% traceability. This not only reduces risks but also streamlines audits, saving hours during reviews. Unlike off-the-shelf tools, our solutions are tailored to your jurisdiction's nuances, with ongoing updates for regulatory changes.
What kind of time savings can accounting firms expect from this service?
Firms typically see 15-20 hours saved per week per team member on manual tasks like data entry and approvals. For legal-focused accounting, this means faster processing of contingency fee invoices, cutting cycles from days to hours. Our AI handles extraction and matching automatically, allowing staff to focus on advisory services. One client reduced month-end closes by 70%, recapturing billable time for client strategy sessions. ROI often materializes in 2-3 months through efficiency gains and error reductions, with benchmarks showing up to 40% lower operational costs. We provide post-implementation metrics to quantify your exact savings.
Is the solution customizable to our firm's specific workflows?
Absolutely—unlike templated software, we build everything around your exact processes, such as tracking IOLTA trust disbursements or multi-party approvals for litigation expenses. During discovery, we map your workflows and integrate with your tools, ensuring no disruption. For example, if your firm deals with high-volume vendor invoices from law practices, we customize matching logic to include contract clauses. This tailored approach guarantees seamless adoption, with training to match your team's habits. Our engineering ensures scalability as your client base grows, all while maintaining data security for confidential financials.
How secure is the data in your AI invoice automation system?
Security is paramount in legal and financial contexts; we use enterprise-grade encryption (AES-256) for all data at rest and in transit, with SOC 2 Type II compliance. Access is role-based, ensuring only authorized personnel view sensitive invoice details like client billing info. Our systems include anomaly detection to prevent fraud, crucial for trust accounts. We've implemented this for firms handling confidential settlements, with zero breaches in deployments. Regular penetration testing and backups align with industry standards, giving you full control and ownership without third-party dependencies. If needed, we can customize for additional protocols like HIPAA for related health law matters.
What integrations does it support with our existing accounting software?
We integrate deeply with popular platforms like QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, and even custom ERPs used in legal finance. Two-way API connections enable automatic posting of approved invoices to ledgers, updating trust balances in real-time. For instance, in a recent project, we synced with Clio for law firm time tracking to automate billing pulls. This eliminates manual exports, reducing errors by 50%. Setup includes data mapping to your chart of accounts, ensuring compatibility with multi-entity structures common in accounting firms serving legal clients. If your stack is unique, our team builds custom connectors for flawless operation.
How long does it take to implement the invoice automation for our firm?
Implementation typically spans 4-6 weeks, depending on complexity. Week 1 focuses on discovery and mapping your workflows, like approval chains for expense reports. Weeks 2-3 involve building and testing the AI components, with integrations to your software. By week 4, we deploy a beta for your team to pilot, followed by refinements based on feedback. For a mid-sized accounting firm, full rollout with training takes under two months, minimizing downtime. We've accelerated this for urgent needs, like during tax season, delivering core automation in 3 weeks. Post-launch support ensures smooth scaling.
