RTG bills great billing software

Easy to bill and keep track of payments from clients whether by mail or email

PROS

Easy to set up once and use with client billing and payments

CONS

Cumbersome to set up letterhead for bills

Reasons for switching to RTG Bills

Ease of use - less time to learn product and increased productivity

Vendor Response

Thanks so much for taking the time to review RTG Bills. We really appreciate it. Our method of creating a letterhead does not use "drag-and-drop", which we feel puts the burden on the user to keep everything in alignment. Instead, you supply the text and RTG Bills takes care of the alignment.

Good Value for a Small Firm

PROS

The program ported our data from TimeSlips easy enough and was easy to learn. The price is very reasonable for the program and it's very inexpensive to add users.

CONS

Our firm's biggest complaint is that users are not able to create clients in the program, which creates additional work for the admin. The user must email the admin to create a new account. If the admin is not available, then the attorney may forget to enter time once the client is created. Seems like unnecessary work and I hope they fix this.

Price

Reasons for switching to RTG Bills

Sage Timeslips was outrageously expensive and would not support our version any longer.

Vendor Response

Thank you for taking the time to review RTG Bills. We really appreciate it. As for creating clients, we would like to clarify how that works. RTG Bills users can enter clients and matters, enter fees and expenses, enter client payments, and create bills. Included with RTG Bills is a separate program, RTG Timer, that is designed for timekeepers to enter their fees and expenses. Any user can be given access to RTG Bills, RTG Timer, or both. A user with access to RTG Timer only will not be able to enter new clients. Only an RTG Bills user can enter new clients. We should note that the "cloud" version of RTG Bills lets you give a user access to RTG Bills, but then limit what they can do. So, for example, you could allow a user to enter new clients and matters, but not allow entry of payments or the printing of bills and reports.

Frustrating

None now. It is not working and company is not supporting.

PROS

It worked great for a while. Was relatively easy to use and set up. Operating fine when purchased in 2013. Started having compatibility problems with windows in 2017.

CONS

It keeps crashing and it is not supported by manufacturer. Have contacted him several times but he is not helping. Program has a problem interfacing with Windows. I will buy another billing program.

Vendor Response

We are sorry that this firm encountered problems with Windows after using RTG Bills for several years. We tried to explain that they had a problem with the Windows installer, a known Microsoft problem with a known Microsoft solution. For whatever reason, they apparently did not follow through with the required steps to resolve the issue on their machine. We want to emphasize that there are no compatibility problems with Windows 10 (or any earlier version of Windows).

RTG Used by Law Firm

PROS

Ease of use, cost, not too many useless features and tech support-very responsive!

CONS

No complaints, I switched from Timeslips and never looked back. Timeslips was difficult to setup, difficult to use, they required annual costly updates and it had many features I did not need.

Best value for time and billing software

PROS

Very easy to set up and use; can have different billing rules for different clients; GREAT customer support.

CONS

Is solely PC/Windows based (however, for a monthly fee, can use the program on line, and for even smaller monthly fee, can enter billing on line from all devices).

Reasons for switching to RTG Bills

Timeslips became very expensive over time, and had poor customer support.

Good and inexpensive

The software helps me keep bills going out and therefore money coming in.

PROS

There is a learning curve but once you master that the software is quick and easy to use. Only had to contact customer supports once, and they were responsive and helpful.

CONS

It is a bit cumbersome to enter the client info, then the matter, but that's probably just a difference between this and timeslips.

Reason for choosing RTG Bills

Initially, price, but I am very glad I did. I have recommended this software to colleagues, and would again.

Reasons for switching to RTG Bills

Timeslips' expensive "upgrades" were just patches dressed up to charge more. This software is inexpensive and very user friendly.

Vendor Response

Thanks for taking the time to review RTG Bills. We do appreciate it. It is true that RTG Bills separates clients and their matters, which is true of most (maybe all) legal-specific billing systems. It lets you see client totals in certain reports. Also, it means that the client information is not duplicated.

RTG is what you need

super satisfied and happy, an excellent software for our small firm, it is oriented to lawyers, but we as engineers are working on hourly basis as well and this RTG keeps track of hour time and expenses very well. We use it to generate invoices/bills and for keeping track of hours billable and for non-billable overhead. At any moment can change bill format from long and detailed to a summary a few lines only. I contact representative and he replies almost right away, as if he never sleeps, super tech support, very friendly and understanding

PROS

ease of use, logic, screen arrangement, adaptability of custom forms after you learn a few basic steps. excellent tech support from rep with whom I have communicated very often over several years. low 'overhead' with graphics, just what you need to enter hours, short descriptions, how much you want to charge for fees or expenses or lump sum. I simply love it. It beats Quicken or Simply accounting for keeping accounts receivable. quick reports in many formats, can export to excel using it daily for several years, started with a floppy version, will not change it

CONS

creating custom letterhead with colours/graphics, but rep gave me a trick to do it, and I am happily using it.

Reason for choosing RTG Bills

simply for practical use in a smaller office that does not need huge overhead categories and programs that will choke the computer for nothing. This RTG can be run an a regular older laptop, notebook, desktop, XP, Win 2000 and up. this is what one needs, simple, efficient, with common sense and clear logic, no fancy icons or graphics that distract only. it simply does the job what you need it to do.

Vendor Response

Thanks so much for that wonderful review. And thanks for using RTG Bills for over 19 years!

Excellent Billing Software

We could not be more happy with RTG Bills. We also took advantage of the free Conflict Check feature, which is extremely helpful in our conflict checks process. Also, any questions we have had have always been answered immediately and to our satisfaction.

PROS

We have been using this software for almost seven years now. Before I came to this new law firm, I spent an entire weekend researching different accounting softwares. Price was a consideration, as is for any new start up company. I came across RTG, took them up on the free trial, and found it to be very user friendly. It was easy to jump right in on entering time and printing invoices. I also customized headers so that we can now print invoices on plain copy paper rather than heavy letterhead, which not only saves on our letterhead, but it cut down our postage as well. This software does a lot, I'm still discovering new features.

CONS

There are a LOT of reports you can run and it takes time to view each one and know what they all do. Because there are so many features to this software, more training videos might be helpful (only because I am a more hands-on person and I could follow along).

Vendor Response

Thanks so much for your very positive review of RTG Bills Online, our "cloud" version of RTG Bills. We also appreciate your mentioning RTG Conflicts Online, which is included with every subscription to RTG Bills Online, to help firms reduce conflicts of interest. We are, admittedly, behind the curve in providing video tutorials. We have worked hard to produce written documentation, including a detailed tutorial and context-sensitive help for every "page" of RTG Bills. Videos are on the to-do list and we hope to offer some soon.

Perfect for my practice

Previously, I've used several standalone and law practice timekeeping and billing systems over the past 25+ years. RTG is by far the simplest, most straightforward and economical of the bunch. I appreciate that the program is standalone and I don't have to open a practice management system, then click-through layers to drill down into timekeeping or billing. Preparing billings is a snap. When reviewing a pre-billing statement if I want to make a change, I can simply click on the billing item, and it opens the time/expense entry, so I can modify it. Then, when the change has been made, I can close the entry and the statement reappears with the changes. Simple!

PROS

Everything is intuitive. It opens promptly, is quick to navigate and back-ups are fast. Short-cut keys can be set up to save time for repetitive types of entries (e.g., "Phone conference with client" can be inserted with, for example, a short-cut 'PCC')

CONS

No cons. It works. Don't be put off by the basic look of the user interface.

Reason for choosing RTG Bills

Simplicity itself

The software gives me up-to-date information about who has paid and who is behind on payment, which is important to healthy business performance.

PROS

The software tracks client trust funds and allows easy reconciliation with the trust-account bank statement. RTG Bills (I use the online version) has many reports that help me slice and dice time and money data to get critical information about business performance. Timekeeping, billing, and payments-received windows are ultra-simple and allow text entries as detailed as I want. RTG staff responds promptly to help inquiries.

CONS

Figuring out some of the authors' terminology (for example, understanding the difference between a "timekeeper" and a "user").

RTG review

I have cut down the amount of time spent on posting billable time.

PROS

Simple to enter billable time and retainer payments

CONS

If the standard retainer is selected, other transactions cannot be processed unless a bill is printed. The type of account cannot be changed (from matter to client or visa versa) once it has been created. The format of the invoices is limited. It would be convenient to be able to print those bills that are accounts receivable only.

Reason for choosing RTG Bills

It appeared to be basic and less time consuming for me, and easier to understand invoices for the clients.

Vendor Response

Thank you for taking the time to review RTG Bills. We really appreciate it. Regarding retainer accounts, RTG Bills offers client-level accounts and matter-level accounts. A client-level account can be used to pay any matter for the client. It is true that you cannot change a matter-level account to a client-level account, but with a few steps, you can accomplish the same thing. First, create the new client-level account. Then transfer the balance with two transactions: a "retainer refund" to get the balance from the matter-level account and a "retainer received" to put the same amount in the client-level account.

PROS

Ease of Use; Entry of clients is simple in the program

CONS

Retainer account for client level and matters does not intergrate

Vendor Response

Thanks so much for taking the time to review RTG Bills. We really appreciate it. RTG Bills allows both matter-level retainer accounts (which are used tp pay a single matter) and client-level retainer accounts (which can be used to pay any of a client's matters). If you get a second matter for a client, you may want to change the retainer from a matter-level account to a client-level account. The procedure for changing a retainer account from a matter-level account to a client-level account requires quite a few steps. So recently we created a free update to RTG Bills that automates this procedure.

You get MORE than what you pay for!

RTG solved my training issues. As personnel changed the program was constant and the instructions are so easy that each new person taught themselves. I do not remember RTG's program ever being down. Since I have had no issues, I only used Customer Service for shortcuts when learning the program. RTG bills look no different that the more costly competitors.

PROS

I believe you get what you pay for but with RTG the value outweighs the cost. The one time cost and free updates cannot be beat. The program is user friendly and the upgrades are free. RTG was not the first billing program I ever used, but it will be the last. Compared to the other vendors this is definately the best. Thanks RTG.

CONS

It took me so long to find it and it seemed almost too good to be true.

Reason for choosing RTG Bills

One time payment, lifetime free updates, and no constant maintenance.

Reasons for switching to RTG Bills

Cost. I was paying monthly and there was no end to the expense. With RTG the cost is fixed and economic.

I needed a time and billing system for my solo practice, and this program suits my needs very well.

PROS

I practice law out of a home office, by myself and without staff. I find RTG to be easy to use, well-supported, and highly functional. I recommend it!

CONS

I have not had any problems, so cannot say that there is anything to "like least." I do find having to set up "matters" in addition to setting up the client to be unnecessary in my practice, so the additional time that takes is not productive for me.
