Practice Management Software for Australian Law Firms

"Time tracking, trust accounting, compliance — sorted."

Australian law firms operate on time-based billing, trust accounting, client relationship management, and compliance obligations that span federal and state regulations. Most practices use 4-6 separate tools. XIntelliSync consolidates billing, accounting, CRM, payroll, and compliance into one platform.

Legal Practice Pain Points

The administrative challenges Australian law firms face:

  • Time tracking across matters with multiple billing rates is often manual or spread across disconnected systems
  • Trust accounting compliance requires meticulous record-keeping under Legal Profession Uniform Law
  • Client relationship management relies on generic CRM tools that don't understand legal workflows
  • Invoicing from recorded time requires manual generation in many practice management tools

How XIntelliSync Addresses Legal Practice Workflows

XIntelliSync brings legal business operations into one platform:

  • Time tracking with per-matter recording and multiple billing rates per fee earner
  • Automatic invoice generation from recorded billable hours
  • CRM with client intake tracking, matter lifecycle, and referral source analysis
  • Trust accounting tracking for receipts, disbursements, and ledger reconciliation
  • AI agents automate invoice follow-ups, expense categorisation, and financial reporting

Compliance for Legal Practices

Law firms in Australia must comply with:

  • Trust account regulations under Legal Profession Uniform Law (or state equivalent)
  • BAS: GST on legal fees and recoverable disbursements
  • STP Phase 2: payroll for employed solicitors and support staff
  • Superannuation: 12% SGC per pay run
  • Professional indemnity insurance tracking (XIntelliSync tracks costs, not insurance compliance)

Common Questions

Does XIntelliSync handle legal trust accounting?

XIntelliSync includes trust accounting tracking features for legal practices. Trust account records, receipts, and disbursements can be tracked within the platform. Statutory trust account audits and regulatory lodgements must be completed via your registered auditor as required by your state's Legal Profession Uniform Law or equivalent.

Can XIntelliSync track billable hours for lawyers?

Yes. XIntelliSync includes time tracking with per-matter recording, billable hour reports, and automatic invoice generation based on recorded time. Multiple billing rates can be configured per fee earner.

Does XIntelliSync integrate with court filing systems?

XIntelliSync does not directly integrate with court filing systems. It manages the business operations of a legal practice — accounting, CRM, time tracking, billing, payroll, and compliance. Court filings and matter management remain with dedicated legal practice management tools if required.

How does XIntelliSync handle law firm BAS?

XIntelliSync prepares BAS from all practice financial data — fees earned, disbursements recovered, business expenses, and payroll. GST is calculated on taxable supplies. The BAS agent organises quarterly data ready for lodgement via the ATO Business Portal.
