Frequently asked questions
Background Billables™ is Sque's automated time capture feature that continuously monitors attorney activity through email, documents, tasks, and meetings—automatically capturing billable work that attorneys forget to log. Studies show average recovery of 8–12% in annual revenue from previously unbilled work.
Background Billables uses customizable time allocation models for emails and documents. Allocations can be adjusted by practice area (high-volume vs. complex), and individual attorneys may override allocations for specific matters or time periods.
An Evidence Pack is automatically generated documentation supporting invoice line items—including time entry lists, supporting communications, documents created/modified, task completion documentation, and a proof-of-work summary. Evidence Packs improve first-pass approval rates by 25–35% and reduce invoice disputes by 30–50%.
Captured time entries are organized by matter, billing code, date, and provider. Entries undergo review for completeness, reasonableness, and duplicates before invoice assembly with rate application, expense addition, and Evidence Pack attachment for client delivery.
