Centerbase is a legal technology company headquartered in Dallas, Texas. We build the practice management platform that midsized law firms across the United States rely on to run the business side of their practice — managing billing, trust accounting, matters, and firm-wide intelligence from a single, unified system.
Centerbase serves managing partners, firm administrators, and attorneys who need a platform built for the complexity of a growing practice who want to evolve from using multiple systems. Our customers trust Centerbase to keep their firm financially clear, operationally in control, and ready for what comes next.
New Centerbase customers who activate Centerbase Payments will receive 3 months of free ACH processing, helping your firm reduce costs from day one while transitioning to a faster, more seamless payment experience.
Centerbase has firm billing and accounting natively integrated, no third-party connector, no reconciliation overhead. Configure your billing workflows to match the way your practice actually works. Manage ePre-bill edits and approvals electronically, track every write-up and write-down in a single audit trail, and embed payments so clients can pay the moment they receive an invoice.
Trust accounting is native and automated, audit-ready, and compliant with auto-replenishment workflows that keep retainers funded without manual intervention making your billing cycle and collections that move 20% faster.
Time that records itself — patent-awarded technology from Centerbase.
Every email, call, document, and meeting is a billable moment. Automatic Time Capture records time across Microsoft Outlook, Word, your phone, and more. Attorneys capture what they've earned without stopping work to log it.
Firms using Automatic Time Capture recover an average of 10 additional billable hours per attorney each month. Set rates at the matter, client, or exception level, capture time from anywhere on any device, and stop leaving revenue on the table.
Documents that work with your firm connected, searchable, and billable.
Centerbase's native document management keeps files, matters, and client records in one connected place no separate DMS required. Built-in OCR makes every document searchable the moment it's filed. eSignature streamlines approvals. Version history tracks every change automatically.
And because Automatic Time Capture runs in the background while your attorneys work in Word and Outlook, billable time is recorded without a single manual entry. Integration options are available for firms with existing document management investments.
Every report built on a single source of truth across every dollar and every matter.
Because billing, accounting, and matter management all live in one native platform, every report you run in Centerbase reflects the complete picture of your firm. Build standard or custom reports on any data field. Visualize performance in role-based dashboards configured by timekeeper, administrator, or executive. Set the metrics that matter to your firm and surface them automatically.
No reconciling data from disconnected systems. No waiting for a report that's already out of date. Just clear, accurate insight from the only platform where all your data lives together — and for firms ready to go further, Centerbase IQ delivers that intelligence in plain language, on demand.
Ask anything about your firm. Get a cited answers in seconds.
Centerbase IQ is the AI intelligence layer built on your firm's own data, not a generic AI overlay, but a system that queries your live billing, financial, matter, and productivity data in parallel and delivers clear, sourced answers on demand.
Ask how your realization rate is trending. Find out which practice groups are driving WIP aging. See which partners are ahead of their billing targets and which are falling behind. Every answer comes with a citation so firm leaders can act with confidence, not assumptions.
Centerbase IQ is the only AI intelligence layer built on a native legal system of record — structurally impossible for platforms that piece financial data together from third-party integrations to replicate.
