Smokeball Billing is how you'll get paid faster, have a better understanding of your firm’s financials, and save tons of time. How your firm does its accounting, holds client funds, and other factors influence the best way to approach this part of the software, so we won’t get into the details here.  

Here's how to prep for Smokeball Billing success:  

  • Introduction to Smokeball Bill. This is a self-guided learning path that will teach you the fundamentals you need to get started with Smokeball Bill.

  • Getting Started with Bill [Live Webinar]. This live webinar is offered every two weeks. Smokeball’s billing experts deliver the fundamentals you need to get started in Smokeball Bill. Brings your questions for the chat! 

  • Book a Billing Q&A. For more advanced questions about how to tailor Smokeball Billing to your firm’s needs, Grow and Prosper+ clients can take advantage of our Billing Q&A. Our experts will work with the person at your firm that manages billing to ensure everything is set up correctly from the start.  

And because we love a good pro-tip around here, we’ll leave you with two billing call-outs from our training team.  

💡 Delete vs. Reverse. Delete undoes internal errors or modifications. Think of it as the ctrl + z of Smokeball Billing. Reverse is for external mistakes and leaves a paper trail.   

💡 Beware the blue text. The hyperlinked text opens the relevant matter or contact card. Click anywhere else on the line to open the associated item (e.g. the invoice, reminder, transaction, etc.)
