Why LawKPIs
Your practice management system tells you what happened. LawKPIs tells you what needs you today.
What you use today / What it does well / Where you’re still stuck / How LawKPIs helps
What you use today
What it does well
Where you’re still stuck
How LawKPIs helps
Built-in reports in Clio, MyCase, Smokeball, Lawcus and CasePeer
What it does well
Accurate numbers from that one system.
Where you’re still stuck
Shows a figure (for example realization 86%) without explaining it. One system at a time. No owner, and waits until someone logs in.
How LawKPIs helps
Sits on top. Joins practice management, accounting and intake. Explains what changed, who should act, and emails it each morning.
QuickBooks Online reports
What it does well
The financial truth.
Where you’re still stuck
No matter, attorney or practice-area context. Cash problems show up late.
How LawKPIs helps
Connects accounting to matters and people, so a cash problem points to a cause and an owner.
Spreadsheets or BI dashboards
What it does well
Custom and flexible.
Where you’re still stuck
Manual, stale, dependent on one person.
How LawKPIs helps
Pre-built for law firms, updates every day, live in 5 days.
A general AI assistant on its own
What it does well
Strong at reasoning and writing.
Where you’re still stuck
Does not have your firm’s joined, historical data or your permissions.
How LawKPIs helps
The Connector gives Claude your firm’s data, with the same permissions as your login.
A COO or outsourced CFO
What it does well
Judgment and accountability.
Where you’re still stuck
Periodic, expensive, and always starts from a spreadsheet.
How LawKPIs helps
A daily early warning that makes that person faster. Not a replacement.
Other analytics tools
What it does well
Charts and benchmarks.
Where you’re still stuck
Still leaves the partner to find the issue and decide who fixes it.
How LawKPIs helps
Judged on whether the issue gets fixed: ranked by dollars, owned, tracked to resolved.
