What makes it different
Acts as an outsourced accounts department so clients receive formal notices from a third party, not the freelancer personally
Automatically enforces statutory rights under UK Late Payment Act that most freelancers don't claim
Every email is confirmed by the user before sending, maintaining complete control
Tracks interest and charges to the day with automatic daily recalculation
One recovered late payment fee typically covers a full year's subscription
Includes documents, bills and trust transactions that Clio's built-in export omits
