⚖️ Legal & Consulting

GST accounting, built for legal & consulting

Bill your time and retainers cleanly and get paid on time. LekhaPro raises SAC-based service invoices, tracks advances and retainers against work, and keeps client-wise receivables ageing so fees do not slip.

What gets in the way today

Retainers and advances get muddled

Money received before work is done is easy to lose track of, and adjusting it against later invoices turns into guesswork.

Fees age quietly

Without client-wise ageing, an unpaid fee note sits for months before anyone notices it is overdue.

Service GST gets the SAC wrong

Professional services need the right SAC and reverse-charge handling; a wrong code on an invoice causes filing headaches.

How LekhaPro fits your work

Every capability below is built in — offline-first, GST-correct by construction, and posted to a real double-entry ledger.

SAC-based service invoices

Raise GST service invoices with the correct SAC and tax split, so legal and consulting fees are compliant without manual lookups.

Retainer and advance tracking

Record advances and retainers as they come in and adjust them against fee notes, so client balances always reflect what is truly owed.

Client-wise receivables ageing

Every fee note and receipt posts to the client ledger, giving you live outstanding and an ageing report to follow up on slow payers.

Log out-of-pocket and firm expenses to the ledger so they hit the right heads and your profit picture is real.

Questions legal & consulting ask

Does it handle advances and retainers from clients?

Yes. You record advances and retainers as they arrive and adjust them against later fee notes, so each client’s balance always reflects what is genuinely outstanding.

Will my service invoices carry the right SAC?

Yes. Service invoices are raised with the correct SAC and GST split, so legal and consulting fees stay compliant and feed your GSTR-1/3B cleanly.

Can I see which clients are slow to pay?

Yes. Every fee note and receipt posts to the client ledger, so you get client-wise outstanding and a receivables ageing report to chase overdue fees.
