TallyFordEnter a whole day of time in one pass.
TallyFord is bulk time & cost entry for Clio. Search your live matters or import a CSV, Excel, or PDF list, fine-tune every row in one editable grid, and submit them all to Clio at once — with guardrails that catch billing problems before they leave the door.
↑ Live demo, matched to the real app — click a matter, or "Review & add to Clio," to see how it works.
Every skipped entry is money you already earned.
Two different leaks, worth separating: the $29,070 above is work you already did that's sitting unbilled right now. What's below is different — it's the slice of every month that never gets entered at all.
And the real cost isn't the hours spent on admin — it's the far larger number of billable hours that same time could have earned instead.
Where it happens
Fourteen calls in a day, five minutes of lawyering each — and an hour of data entry at the end of it, one Clio form at a time. Two or three billable hours a week disappear in the cracks.
What it feels like
The quiet dread of Friday-afternoon reconstruction — trying to remember what Tuesday's 2pm call was actually about, three days later, from memory.
Why it matters
You went to law school to practice law — not to spend your evenings fighting a billing form for work you already did.
I built TallyFord because my own end-of-day billing was costing me money. It runs every day at our firm, on real matters — every feature exists because a lawyer needed it.
What one afternoon looked like at Drew's own firm.
The kind of admin work TallyFord replaces — measured, not estimated, from a single day at Williams, Starbuck & Tippetts.
A paralegal spent three hours manually entering costs from a PDF that TallyFord's import handled in under a minute, reviewed and confirmed.
Three hours of admin work isn't a three-hour loss — it's the far larger number of billable hours that same time could have earned instead, at that paralegal's rate.
Not a lab number — a working attorney's rough read on how much more his firm gets done since switching admin work over to TallyFord.
These figures come from one firm's real usage, not a controlled study — shared because they're true, not because they're typical. Your results will depend on your own admin workload and billing rates.
Everything between "I did the work" and "it's in Clio."
TallyFord writes ordinary Clio time and expense entries — it just gets you there in bulk, with a quality pass built in.
Bulk entry grid
Search your live Clio matters, add rows in bulk, and edit anything inline — date, hours, rate, activity, narrative. One click submits the whole batch.
Import anything
Bring a CSV, Excel sheet, or PDF call log. TallyFord matches each row to your Clio matters at Clio's own pace, and flags anything it can't match for a quick confirm.
Billing guardrails
Every batch is checked before submission — duplicates, date slips, missing narratives, vague descriptions. Warnings you acknowledge, never blockers.
Possibly-unbilled rollup
TallyFord watches your calendar and email for matters that look worked-but-unbilled, and gives you a running dollar estimate — reviewed and added on your terms.
LEDES e-billing export
Export LEDES 1998B with UTBMS task and activity codes for the clients that demand it, straight from the entries you already made.
AI narrative drafting
Optional and off by default: turn a rough note into a clean, guideline-safe billing narrative. You review every word before it's saved.
Three steps. That's it.
No new system of record, no data migration, no passwords to manage, no learning curve.
Connect Clio securely
Quick — exact timing depends on Clio, not youOne click, using the Clio login you already have. TallyFord never sees or stores your password.
Type your whole day
As long as your day takes — one screen, start to finishNo pop-ups. Search matters live or import a spreadsheet or PDF — everything lands in one editable grid.
Submit all at once
One clickReview the grid, click submit. Entries land in Clio as normal activities — editable there like any other.
A whole day, one pass, nothing missed.
Instead of "save and duplicate" thirty times, you get one grid, one review, one submit. The billing gets done the same day the work happened — not reconstructed from memory a week later.
Built for privileged data.
TallyFord is built by a practicing lawyer for law firms — the security posture assumes everything you touch is confidential.

No trackers, no CDNs
No third-party JavaScript, analytics, or ad trackers — every asset is served same-origin.
AI is opt-in
AI features are off until you enable them, and API data is never used to train models.
What attorneys are saying.
Early feedback from the beta group.
"I stopped dreading Friday afternoons. My whole week's billing is done in the time it used to take me to do one day."
"It looks and feels like Clio, so my paralegal figured it out without me explaining anything. That was the whole ballgame for us."
"I was skeptical of anything 'AI' touching client billing. TallyFord doesn't guess — I still enter everything, it just makes the entering fast."
