Four places money leaves a firm quietly

None of these show up as a single bad decision. They show up as a slow drift that's invisible until someone adds it up.

Profitability
+42%

A partner billed 42% more hours last month — and the firm collected less revenue than the month before. The margin left through discounting and write-offs no one tracked in one place.

Collections
61 days

Average time an invoice sits unpaid past 90 days before anyone follows up. At a $6M firm, that's typically $180,000–$240,000 sitting in AR at any given time.

Intake response
11h 14m

Average time to first response on a new lead. Firms that reply within an hour convert at roughly double the rate — the gap is pure lost signed cases, not marketing spend.

Utilization
−18%

Typical gap between an associate's target hours and actual billed hours in a quarter no one flagged until review season, three months too late to course-correct.

Why one system isn't enough

Every tool that reads only Clio, or only MyCase, tells you what that one system believes. Join accounting in, and the story often changes.

One intelligence layer, three ways to use it

NyxO watches your firm's numbers continuously. How you hear from it depends on how you work.

Ask your firm anything, from Claude or ChatGPT

KPI-Connect answers from practice management, intake, and accounting together — a single-system connector can only answer from the one system it's plugged into.

Which flat-fee matters lost money last quarter?
Six matters ran below cost in Q3. The largest: Estate plan #2291, billed at a $2,400 flat fee against 31.4 hours of logged time — a loss of roughly $1,150 once staff cost is applied. Four of the six are estate planning matters handled by the same associate.

How it works

01

Connect, read-only, in minutes

Practice management first — Clio, MyCase, Smokeball, or Lawcus. Nothing is written back to your systems.

02

We join and monitor your data

Accounting joins as soon as your bookkeeper connects QuickBooks — that's when true profitability and realization come into view.

03

Your team gets the daily picture

Daily Pulse is on from day one. Most firms see their first flagged item worth acting on inside the first session.

Built by people who know law firm economics

Years spent inside firms' numbers, across practice areas and firm sizes — that's the dataset behind every benchmark on this site.

What this is worth to your firm
