Professional Practice Management System

The Professional Practice Management (PPM) system is a comprehensive time/expense accumulation and billing application. Time is entered by the staff into the PPM database via the Time Entry application. Billing can be performed by partner or by staff in the billing department on-screen. Statements can be reviewed for accuracy, corrected and printed for distribution. A full set of management reports can be generated on demand for in-depth analysis of employee productivity and client service.

PPM was designed around a multi-user relational database providing flexibility for all users. Tables contained in the PPM database include:

Client - Contains all clients and demographics about customer base
Professional - Contains data about all of a firm's employees
Work Description - Contains classifications for work performed (billable & non-billable)
Billing - Contains all billing and collections data (current & historical)
Timesheet Detail - Contains all timesheet detail for work in process and billed activity
