Easily accessing and managing client bills is an important component of running a law practice, whether that is in the office or on-the-go. With Clio's mobile app, you can access client bills directly from your mobile device, allowing you to answer client questions and track the status of bills while you are away from your computer.
Note: Only users with billing permissions have access to bills.
Filter and view bills and trust funds requests
In Clio's mobile app, you can view the details of a generated bill and see a preview of how the bill looks from your client's perspective. You can view bills specific to a single matter directly from that matter's page or view bills across all your matters from the main Bills tab. When filtering bills, you can filter by bill status or the type of bill.
Note: You cannot generate or share bills in the mobile app. If you need to generate new bills or send bills to clients, you will need to access Clio from a web browser.
