In Brief

We connect the financial picture to how the firm works, so leaders can identify performance drivers and act on the issues they can influence.

The Challenge

## Revenue Alone Does Not Explain Profitability

A firm can grow revenue while margin, realization, or cash performance weakens. Useful analysis looks beneath the total to understand practice mix, matter economics, rates, work allocation, and the costs of delivery.

- Profitability varies sharply by practice or matter
- Rate increases do not translate into margin
- Leverage and staffing assumptions are not holding
- Slow billing, collection, or work in progress
- Investments lack clear performance measures
- Leaders receive reports but not actionable insight

What We Do

## Analysis Tied to Decisions

### Financial Baseline

Review available revenue, cost, margin, utilization, realization, and cash measures at the appropriate firm and practice level.

### Matter and Client Economics

Examine pricing, staffing mix, work patterns, write-downs, and client or matter segments where data permits.

### Operational Drivers

Connect results to intake, workflow, timekeeping, billing, technology, and management practices.

### Decision Framework

Define options, measures, ownership, and review cadence for pricing, staffing, process, or investment changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

## Questions About Financial and Profitability Analysis

[Ask Lawgix Advisory Group →](https://lawgixadvisorygroup.com/consultations)

What information do you need to begin?+

The starting point depends on the question. It may include financial statements, matter and time data, billing and collections, staffing information, and existing management reports.

Can you work with imperfect data?+

Yes. We identify limitations, reconcile the most important definitions, and distinguish reliable findings from questions that need better information.

Will you recommend specific rates or pricing changes?+

We can assess rate strategy and matter economics, model scenarios, and help leadership evaluate options. Recommendations depend on the data and the firm’s market and service model.

Does this replace our accountant or finance team?+

No. We work alongside the people responsible for the firm’s books and financial controls, focusing on management analysis and decisions.
