Turns out running operations and rolling laps have a lot in common: balance, momentum, and never missing a beat. 🛼 Our Founder & CEO Sara Stock and Senior Director of Operations Carmin Humphries took a well-earned spin around the rink. At LBO, we power the business of law… and sometimes we do it on eight wheels.

📊You did the work. Has the money come in?

New 8am billing data reported by the ABA Journal shows a surprising trend: small firms are collecting more invoices within 30 days than they used to, but their overdue balances are still growing.

📌 More than $7 billion in receivables is overdue
📌Unpaid bills sit a median of 131 days past due
📌 Average overdue balances rose 21%, from $2,800 in 2024 to $3,400 in 2026

In other words, the invoices that slip through the cracks are getting bigger and staying unpaid longer. That's revenue you've already earned, tied up while attorneys get pulled back into chasing payments instead of practicing law.

The firms that get paid faster usually aren't doing anything complicated. They have a consistent invoicing process, and they follow it every billing cycle.

Before year-end, ask yourself:
✅Do we have a consistent invoicing process, or do bills go out whenever someone has time?
✅ Do we know exactly how much is past due right now?
✅Does someone follow up on unpaid invoices every week, not just when cash gets tight?

If any of those gave you pause, let's talk. When our accounting team takes over invoicing, your firm gets a process, and a process alone gets you paid faster.

💼Payroll is the one process everyone at your firm notices when it goes wrong.
And year-end is when the pressure builds. Bonuses need to be planned and processed, retirement elections change for the new year, and every record needs to be reconciled before W-2s go out in January. For partners working to max out their retirement contributions, getting those deductions right matters.
When payroll is handled by an attorney, an office manager wearing five hats, or a provider who doesn't understand how law firms operate, small errors turn into big headaches: tax notices, inaccurate W-2s, and frustrated employees.
Before year-end, ask yourself:
✅ Are our payroll tax filings current and our records reconciled?
✅Have we planned for year-end bonuses and 2027 compensation changes?
✅ Are retirement deductions updated correctly for the new year?
✅ Does payroll connect with our accounting, or does it run in a silo?
If any of those gave you pause, let's talk. We handle payroll for law firms so your attorneys can stay focused on practicing law.

🔐 October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and it's a good time for law firms to ask a hard question: is our technology working for us, or against us?

In a law firm, technology isn't just an expense. It's operational infrastructure.

When IT is unstructured, unsupported, or reactive, firms end up with downtime, security risk, and inefficiencies that hurt client service and profitability. With client data, trust accounts, and privileged communications on the line, "we'll fix it when it breaks" isn't a plan.

As you plan for 2027, make sure your IT is part of the plan, not an afterthought.

Before year-end, ask yourself:
✅When was our last security review?
✅Could we recover quickly from a ransomware attack or data loss?
✅Does our team know how to spot a phishing email?

If any of those gave you pause, let's talk.

It's strategic planning season for law firms.
The firms that start 2027 strong aren't figuring it out in January. They're planning for it now.
Growing a law firm requires more than hard work and good cases. It requires a clear plan, aligned leadership, and systems built to support where the firm is headed.
In this video, our Co-Founder shares why now is the time to step back and plan.
Before the year ends, ask yourself:
✅ Do we have a clear plan for 2027?
✅ Are leadership, people, and operations aligned around it?
✅Are we leading proactively, or reacting to whatever lands on our desk?
If any of those gave you pause, we can help.

🌟Welcome to the Team, Nicole!🌟
We’re excited to introduce Nicole, the newest member of the LBO team!
Originally from Columbus, Ohio, Nicole made the move to the Tampa, Florida area in 2020 and recently celebrated nine wonderful years of marriage with her husband. Family is at the heart of everything she does, and she is proud to be part of a big, blended family that includes four children, three grandchildren, and a granddaughter who holds a very special place in her heart. 😊
When she’s not working, Nicole enjoys traveling, getting lost in a great book, and diving into all things true crime.
Professionally, Nicole brings more than 16 years of accounting and finance experience to LBO, including extensive bookkeeping and payroll expertise. Her accounting journey began during her nearly 18-year career at a law firm, which made LBO’s client base and mission especially appealing. What stood out most to Nicole during the hiring process was the people and culture at LBO.
In her own words, she loves “figuring things out and helping others,” which is one of the reasons bookkeeping has been such a rewarding career path for her.
Please join us in giving Nicole a warm welcome to the LBO family! 🎉

He left his big firm to start his own. Him, one admin, and an associate on the way.
His first questions weren’t about billing rates.

They were: “What systems should I use and why?”

That mindset is why his firm will scale. We set up the stack; he practices law from day one.

Start with the systems. 📅 Link in bio.

There comes a point in almost every law firm's journey where the practice starts running the attorney instead of the other way around.

The cases are growing.
The team is growing.
The responsibilities never stop.

Suddenly, you're not just practicing law. You're approving payroll, solving gen admin issues, recruiting, answering operational questions, managing vendors, and trying to keep everything moving.
That's exhausting.

The firms that scale aren't the ones that work longer hours. They're the ones that build systems and a back office that allows them to focus on what they do best.

You built your firm to practice law, not to carry the weight of every operational decision alone.

Wondering where your firm is losing the most time?

Schedule a complimentary consultation through the link in our bio, and we'll help you identify opportunities to build a stronger, more scalable back office.
