NTM
NTM is a small, privately-held law firm located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Founded in 2009, by Nicole Teasta Mehdipour, the firm focuses on bankruptcy law. NTM serves clients who are looking to form a new business or have an existing business and need help with the review of their documents or business agreements, and those who are in financial trouble, and cannot make payments on loans, mortgages, credit cards, or can’t make payroll. NTM explores how to determine the best solution whether filing a bankruptcy, or doing a settlement with their creditors.
Challenge:
Being under the regulations of the Florida BAR, at NTM, we have to make sure that our records are accurate and that we are billing our clients the right amount of time, so is very important to have in place a system like Microsoft Dynamics GP where we can account for our time accurately and we know we can generate reports and things of that nature.
As a bankruptcy firm, in certain situations we have to go to the court and ask the court for approval to have our fees paid. In order to do so, you need to have in place a very detailed system with the ability to generate the right invoice for you, by using the solution ERT Group implemented, we are able to meet all of those needs. We are able to produce the reports that satisfied the bankruptcy court guidelines and produce professional customized invoices and reports for our clients.
Solution:
ERT Group was able to come up with a flexible solution to help our firm create the specific kind of invoice needed.
As a bankruptcy firm, we have particular needs to meet since all of the invoicing has to meet the Florida BAR standards. ERT Group was able to recognize those needs and adapt and customize the reports accordingly in a very quick and efficient manner.
We can also easily generate accounting and financial reports for taxes purposes, create profit analysis, and productivity reports with the click of a button. We have instant access to useful information that helps us evaluate the actual status of the firm.
Benefits:
• Greater billing, accounting, and reporting efficiency
• Integrated financial data has helped management become more proactive and improve timely decision-making.
• By implementing the 0n-demand hosting service, ERT Group has eliminated the up-front investment and expenses in software, backup equipment, and maintenance.
“We would recommend, law firms and colleagues, to use ERT Group as their technology partner. Frequently, a lot of businesses have the impression that Microsoft Dynamics GP software might be too sophisticated for them, but we discovered it actually works for the large companies as well as small businesses like NTM. The solution is adaptable and will grow with us. We believe this was the best solution for us and ERT Group was instrumental in making that happen.”
“With my own client relations manager, we did approximately a 30 hours of training, we started with a virtual tour presentation and then we went hands on with real data.Whenever I had a question, ERT was there to guide me through. They have a very good training system in place and now I am managing everything on my own.”
