Billing

Some billing advice.

* Be precise, detailed and informative.

* When referencing a person, use their first initial and full last name.

* Keep your billing app open throughout the day.

* Bill as you go. Don't wait until the end of the day, and certainty not the end of the week or month.

* If you have a billing app, use it to capture time when you travel.

* Your entries should tell a story about your case. The client should read your entries and know the story of her case.

* Entries should explain not only the task but why it was performed. If you create an entry addressing research you did, explain why you did it.

* When making any entry, ask yourself - if you were the client would you pay for it?

* Proofread for grammar, typos and misspellings.

* Follow your clients’ billing guidelines.
