Who We Serve
Built for mid-size law firms.
Nobody else.
Mid-size firms sit in a gap. Entry-level tools can't handle your accounting. Enterprise systems bury you in overhead. Centerbase was built for the firms in between. Collections, billing, trust accounting, matter and document workflows, reporting, and AI, all designed around how a mid-size firm actually runs.
Whether you're the managing partner setting direction or the administrator keeping it all moving, this platform was built with your job in mind.

Lead from complete clarity.
You're running a business that happens to practice law. That business needs real numbers, not month-old estimates stitched together from separate systems. Centerbase puts your firm's live financial picture in front of you, so you can deliver the revenue and growth your shareholders expect.

Centerbase IQ — AI Intelligence
Ask your firm anything.
Get the real answer.
Centerbase IQ is the AI intelligence layer built into your platform. Ask a question in plain English. "Show me timekeepers under target this month, ranked by gap." IQ answers in seconds from your live data, with a citation on every number so you can click through to the source record. The weekly performance report that took two hours now takes five minutes. No report-building. No waiting on ops.
Automated Time Capture
Get paid for every second.
Firms lose up to half their billable work when time gets logged days after the fact. Automated Time Capture our patented premium feature, tracks it as it happens. The timer starts and stops with the work. And with IQ voice time entry, attorneys just speak their day. IQ drafts the entries with matter codes pre-filled, ready to approve in one tap. For a 100-attorney firm, that's more than $1M a year in recovered time.
Billing
Bill up to 20x faster.
Get paid faster too.
ePre-Bill and automated billing cut weeks off your billing cycle. Accurate bills go out the door the first time, and clients get easy ways to pay online. Cash flow improves while every client stays satisfied.
Profitability
Run the firm on profit,
not gut feel.
Track each lawyer's billable hours, rates, and realization to see individual profitability. Compare revenue and expenses across practice areas. Measure margins for the whole firm. Advanced and Profitability Reporting shows you exactly where to improve, and when the numbers raise a follow-up question, you ask IQ instead of building another report.
Growth
Grow the firm,
and the people in it.
Attract and retain talent by meeting modern expectations, starting with timekeeping people don't hate and clean production and origination tracking. Then grow your client base with digital marketing services that put your firm in front of searching clients and a website built around your practice expertise.
Thanks to our investment in technology and nimble workflow processes, we were able to transition to primarily remote work within one business day and with no interruptions to client service.

For Firm Administrators
You keep the firm running. We keep it running without you carrying all of it.
Every data request in the firm routes through you, and that doesn't scale. Centerbase automates the repetitive work, keeps the books accurate, and gives partners self-serve answers. You deliver the value the firm expects without sacrificing your own to-do list.
Centerbase IQ — AI Intelligence
Let partners answer their own questions.
Centerbase IQ gives everyone in the firm self-serve answers from live data, with role-based access you configure without coding. A partner asks IQ instead of asking you. Every answer comes back with charts and source citations, so nobody questions where the number came from. Save your most-used queries and stop rebuilding the same report every Monday.

Centerbase IQ — Problem Discovery
Catch problems before they cost you.

One firm surfaced $147K in overdue and pre-bill amounts in the first five minutes of its first session. Another found 40 unassigned matters and finished the entire cleanup the same day.

Billing
Send accurate bills the first time.
Speed up billing cycles while being more accurate than ever. With ePre-Bill and automated billing, your firm reviews, approves, and sends bills up to 20x faster. No error loops. No chasing late payments for work you billed wrong. Payments arrive in minutes, not weeks.
Accounting
Every dollar, one place.
Full general ledger firm and trust accounting with live online banking and AR Sweep. Track multiple trusts and retainers on one matter or across many. Know which vendor and client bills are due, and apply available funds to outstanding bills en masse. Your accounting operations get faster and more accurate at the same time.
Automation
Automate the work you dread.
Automated Workflows handle the tedious parts of pre-billing, client intake, and everything in between. Matters update themselves. Documents and emails go out without you touching them. You stay on the high-value parts of your role.
Reporting
Build any report yourself.
Advanced Reporting works like a spreadsheet. If you can use Excel, you already know how to use it. Build the intelligent reports management expects without a support ticket or a minute on hold.
Knowing that you can access the data 24/7, and that when you pull the data it's going to be accurate, means you have the flexibility to do what you need to do whenever you need to do it.
