You win a $400,000 verdict last quarter. Payroll is still uncomfortable.
Running a law firm is running a business, and the contingency model makes it a harder business than most. The work happens now. The money shows up in 3-months, if it shows up when you expected it at all.
Revenue lags the work by months or years, so a genuinely profitable firm can still be a cash-poor firm.
Case costs leave the account long before any recovery comes back, and often nobody is tracking them against a budget.
Settlements land in unpredictable lumps, which turns tax planning into an annual surprise instead of a strategy.
A big quarter reads as permission to spend and a slow one feels like a crisis, because there is no baseline to compare either against.
There is no rolling forecast, no cash reserve, and no line of credit in place before the month it is needed.
None of this means the firm is failing. It usually means the firm is being run without a financial function.
A financial function, without a full-time CFO.
Most growing plaintiff firms are stuck between two bad options. A bookkeeper who records what already happened, or a full-time CFO who costs more than the problem. Profectus is the third option: senior financial leadership, engaged at the level your firm actually needs, with progress you can measure quarter over quarter.
Accurate books, on time, every month.
