Invoice and retainer payments for firms that bill by trust
Net-30 invoices paid at net-60, trust-account rules and card fees on five-figure invoices.
Card and ACH links on invoices give clients a one-click way to pay.
Illustrative profile, not an industry benchmark. Yours will differ — that is the point of the analysis.
Built around how professional service firms actually take payments
Not a generic bundle with your industry's name pasted on the invoice.
- Branded invoicing with one-click card and ACH/EFT payment
- Trust and operating account separation for legal and accounting
- Recurring retainer billing with automatic card updater
- Convenience fee and dual pricing programs where compliant
- QuickBooks, Xero and Clio-style practice integrations
The fee traps we look for in professional service firms
- Downgrades — transactions falling out of their best interchange category through missing data
- Padded pass-throughs — card-brand fees marked up and presented as cost
- Junk monthlies — statement, PCI, annual, regulatory and "service" fees
- Equipment leases — non-cancellable terms that outlive the hardware
- Tier reclassification — the same sale quietly repriced into a worse bucket

The only way to know your real number is to divide total fees by total volume on your statement — or send it to us and we will label every line, usually within 4 hours.
There is no single best system. We match hardware to how you actually take payments: ticket size, staff count, whether you sell online, and which software you already run. For professional service firms we most often deploy branded invoicing with one-click card and ach/eft payment.
