built for South African legal professionals

Everything you need to draft, manage, and tax Bills of Cost, all in one place

Faster Cash Flow

Get accounts out quicker and get paid sooner. Tariff calculations and bill printing are handled for you, so you spend less time on admin and more time billing.

Full Visibility

See where every matter stands, who is working on it, and what is due. Reporting and dashboards give you the full picture without chasing people for updates.

Cost Consulting platform overview

Workflow Driven

Each matter follows a clear path from instruction through to taxation. You always know what has been done, what is outstanding, and who is responsible.

Fully Customisable

Court tariffs are updated by Cost Consulting when new tariffs are published. You can also manage your own custom tariff structures and billing codes to match your practice.

How It Works

Get started in three simple steps

1

Create a Matter

Enter your matter details: client, court, parties, and instruction date. That is your starting point.

2

Build Your Bill

Add line items using built-in tariff codes. Fees, disbursements, and VAT are calculated for you. No more paging through tariff books.

3

Generate and Tax

Print your Bill of Cost as a PDF, manage taxation, and send your invoice. Everything stays in one place.

More Features

Powerful tools to help you work smarter

Bilingual

Full support for English and Afrikaans, from the interface to tariff descriptions and generated documents.

Word Import

Already have bills in Word? Import them directly. Line items are matched to tariff codes so you do not have to re-capture everything from scratch. Available on request.

Invoicing

Generate invoices, pro-forma estimates, and receipts as professional PDF documents, all linked to your matters.

Matter Tools

Duplicate a bill structure, split items by date, or consolidate multiple matters into one. Useful when matters change shape mid-process.
