Tracking my client's projects is easy and I'm not missing any billable time. Now my bookkeeper can do batch invoices essentially with a touch of a button and the printer spits out 30 to 50 invoices each time we do billing. Creating invoices became an all-day project. When my business started up I was tracking time with a spreadsheet. We've used Bill4Time for our billing needs for over 5 years, and many of our attorneys used it before we formed our firm. Another popular billing program we looked at tried to charge us about 5 times the cost of our average user, merely because one report regarding collections was critical to our internal compensation model. We also use the trust accounting functionality which helps us keep on top of retainers. Invoicing is easy as well and so is receiving payments.

There are also easy reports to provide for accountability of time keepers. Reports are easy to run and provide the information we need to keep a pulse on our firm's billings, collections, and associated compensation models. The program is clean, simple, and available anywhere through the web and various applications for mobile devices. I'd love more practice management functionality-but I don't see that as the main purpose/use of this program. I find no "cons" when comparing to other billing programs I've looked at. Its a billing program and is extremely effective at billing.
