In short

How do I turn captured billable hours into monthly invoice drafts automatically?

WebRun compiles your monthly invoices for review. At month end it opens ExpertClear, gathers billable time and expenses per engagement at your locked rate sheet, and builds a draft invoice for each firm in QuickBooks with a drafted Gmail cover note. Everything stays unsent, so you check the numbers before any invoice is billed.

  • A month of captured time becomes review-ready invoices without manual tallying
  • Every invoice is priced at your locked rate sheet, by category, per engagement
  • Nothing is billed until you approve, invoices and cover emails stay unsent

Questions, answered

Will it send invoices to firms automatically?

No. WebRun builds each invoice as a draft in QuickBooks and drafts the cover email in Gmail, both left unsent. You review every figure and approve before a single invoice reaches the retaining firm.

How does it price each time entry?

It applies your locked ExpertClear rate sheet, matching each entry to its category such as deposition, report writing, or trial testimony, so the invoice reflects the rates agreed at case activation rather than a guess.

What about incomplete or odd time entries?

It flags any entry missing a description or that looks unusual before building the invoice, so you can correct or confirm it. Nothing is billed to the firm until you have reviewed and approved the draft.

Put this on autopilot.
