Once billable work is turned into collected cash, it generally falls to the law firm administrator to manage the cash flow process and to keep the firm functioning as a business organization. This is a hands-on process that requires the administrator’s individual focus and expertise. Today’s financial information systems and software can and do produce extensive and detailed financial information /data, but they cannot adequately handle the cash management process by themselves.

Those allies are your firms’ bankers, and your preparation should encompass understanding what bankers can do – and how you can get them to work with you in doing it.
