The problem

Your billing system tracks what happened. It doesn't tell you what it means.

Clio, QuickBooks, and Aderant give you data. But a small firm without a billing department doesn't need more data — it needs answers. Which clients are drifting toward non-payment? Where is your realization rate quietly eroding? Which attorney has $200K in unbilled time sitting for three weeks? Scopient tells you, automatically.

Scopient doesn't replace your billing system.

It makes it smarter. Keep the tools your firm already runs on — Scopient adds the layer they were never built to provide.

Keep Clio. Keep QuickBooks.

Scopient plugs into what you already use and adds the intelligence layer on top — no migration, no rip-and-replace.

Why Scopient exists

14 years inside Am Law billing taught me the numbers never tell the whole story.

I have been a billing lead for Am Law 20 firms for fourteen years. I live in the reports and dashboards every day — and I keep running into the same gap: they show what happened, but never what it means. The strategic insight, the story behind the realization rate, the early signal that a client is about to go sideways — none of it is there.

So I built Scopient to weave together the things I can't stop thinking about — markets and the economy, technology, and a deep love of AI — with fourteen years of billing experience. I've always been wired to connect across domains, and that's exactly where the value hides: billing data is gold, profiling and classifying your firm with a precision most firms never tap.

AI is what makes it real. Scopient uses it to read your invoices, model your firm, and turn that raw data into tailored, structured intelligence — the cross-disciplinary strategic advisor I always wished the dashboards had been.

Built for

Small firms that bill like big firms think.

If your firm has 2 to 50 attorneys, no dedicated billing department, and an office manager doing their best with spreadsheets — this is for you. The billing intelligence that Am Law 100 firms pay six figures for, built for firms that run lean.

Security & confidentiality

Your billing data isn’t ordinary business data. We didn’t build like it was.

Time entry narratives carry client identities and descriptions of the work — material that is confidential under ABA Model Rule 1.6 and often privileged. Handing that to a vendor is a decision about your professional obligations, not just a software purchase. So here is exactly how it is handled.

Read-only
It can’t change anything
Scopient connects through Clio’s own authorization and reads a copy of your billing data. It cannot create, edit or delete anything in your system. Revoke access from your side any time.
Encrypted
In transit and at rest
TLS 1.2+ for everything moving between your browser and our servers. AES-256 encryption at rest. Practice-management tokens encrypted separately.
Never trains AI
Your narratives stay yours
Time entry narratives and matter descriptions are used to generate your analysis and nothing else. They are never used to train any AI model — ours or a vendor’s.
Never shared
No cross-firm benchmarks
We don’t use one firm’s data to benefit another, build features for another, or sell benchmarks derived from it. Your numbers work for you alone.
Scoped to you
Isolated by design
Every record carries a firm identifier stamped server-side. Every request is authenticated and scoped to your firm before it touches data. No other customer can query it.
Audited both ways
You can see when we look
When Scopient staff touch your data, it lands in the same audit log your administrators can export — tagged with the firm, the actor and the action. You review our access, not just your own team’s.
Yours to leave with
Export any time
Your data stays your property. Export it whenever you want. On request or termination we delete every firm-scoped store — not just invoices and time entries, but every Signal written about you and your encrypted Clio tokens — within 90 days.
We also publish what we haven’t done yet.
No completed penetration test. SOC 2 Type I in readiness, not attested. Multi-factor available but not yet mandatory. A security page with no gaps is marketing — you deserve the real list.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is billing intelligence for law firms?

Billing intelligence is a layer on top of your billing system that interprets the numbers — realization, AR aging, collection velocity, client risk, and matter profitability — then recommends specific actions. Scopient brings this to small firms that don't have a dedicated billing department.

Does Scopient replace Clio or QuickBooks?

No. Scopient works alongside the tools you already use. Keep Clio and QuickBooks — Scopient plugs into them, or reads the invoices you upload, and adds the strategic layer they were never built to provide.

How long does setup take?

Under five minutes. Sync with Clio or QuickBooks in one click, or drop invoices as PDF, Excel, or CSV and Scopient's AI reads them automatically — no manual data entry.

Who is Scopient built for?

Small and midsize firms with roughly 2 to 50 attorneys and no dedicated billing department — the billing intelligence Am Law 100 firms pay six figures for, built for firms that run lean.

How does client risk scoring work?

Every client gets a 0–100 health score based on payment speed, aging patterns, and write-off history — so you can catch problems before they turn into write-offs.

What is The Signal?

The Signal is Scopient's weekly short-form briefing — the kind of tailored intelligence an Am Law 100 firm pays six figures for, profiled to your firm. It uses your billing data as a profile to deliver tailored legal-market and legal-economic insight, weaving in the broader economy, technology, and AI, with a referral engine built in.

How do you handle client confidentiality?

The connection to your billing system is read-only, everything is encrypted in transit and at rest, and your data is scoped to your firm alone. Time entry narratives and matter descriptions are never used to train AI models and never used to benefit another firm. When our own staff access your data to quality-check a report, that access is written to the same audit log your administrators can export. We also ask that you don't import privileged communications or the substance of legal advice — Scopient is built to read the economics of your billing, not the content of your work. Full detail, including what we haven't completed yet, is on our security page.
