Connect your law firm’s Votum workspace once. From then on, every invoice and time entry they log is visible to you — and nothing gets billed until you’ve approved it, one line at a time.

What actually changes
Approval gates finalization
There's no path to a real, billed invoice that skips your review — not a courtesy step.
One workspace link, not another login
Connect once. Visibility and approval both run through the same link — nothing new to provision per invoice.
Beyond approval
Once a firm is connected, its invoices and time entries feed a spend analytics view alongside the approval queue — plus a manual log for outside counsel not yet on Votum, so your view isn’t limited to whichever firms happen to be linked.
Spend by firm and by matter
Every linked firm's invoices, rolled up and broken down — no exporting to a spreadsheet to see where spend concentrates.
Monthly trend
Spend by month across your whole panel, so a quarter-over-quarter question doesn't need a manual pull.
Ageing, at a glance
Outstanding balances bucketed by days past due — not yet due, 1–30, 31–60, 60+.
Blended rate by firm
Spend ÷ hours logged, per firm — the number that actually lets you compare panel firms against each other.
No surprises
This is line-level approval and read-only visibility into a linked firm’s billing, plus the spend view above — not a budgeting tool. You see exactly what’s submitted, and you decide exactly what gets billed.
