INTEGRATION BETWEEN LEAP DOCUMENTS AND PEFECT BALANCE 2004

From a client's matter in LEAP Documents you are able to immediately view the trust ledger balance, any unbilled disbursements or time entries, debtors and any work in progress. From this point you are also able to create cheques and receipts for the matter for either the trust or office accounts.

All staff are also able to create time and disbursement billing entries in the client's matter in LEAP Documents and these entries can then be sent to the accounting system as required.

The office accounting module also records all disbursements ordered through the LEAP Disbursement Management System. This system enables you to order most items required for a matter including titles searches, property enquiries, pest and building reports, surveys, medical reports, settlement bookings etc directly from within the specified matter screen. The charges for the ordered items are then automatically posted as a disbursement to the client's matter which may then be sent to the PERFECT Balance system when required. You may then be reimbursed from funds held in trust or you are able to enter the client's credit card details so that they may reimburse us automatically without having to place any funds through you.

Clearly the integration with LEAP Documents provides huge benefits in time savings as you no longer need to enter basic client and matter information into two systems. This also reduces the likelihood of errors. All users of LEAP Documents will have access to all the basic accounting information for a matter without having to open PERFECT Balance 2004 which enables general work to be greatly streamlined.

Word bills that are generated through PERFECT Balance 2004 are saved back into your LEAP Documents matter, keeping a current record of documents created and received assisting with your ‘paperless’ office.
