Finance Dashboard in Jusnote – Track Project Budget, WIP, and Payments

Finance Dashboard in Jusnote

The Finance Dashboard allows you to monitor the financial status of a project in real time. It displays key metrics such as revenue, realization, W.I.P., outstanding balances, budget, and time spent.

Info
Available to Administrators and Billing Managers.



Key Metrics

1. Project Realization (%)

This metric shows the ratio between the total amount in approved invoices and the value of all recorded billable and non-billable hours in the project.

Formula:



The percentage indicates how much of the recorded project time has been successfully billed and approved.


2. Issued for Payment

Displayed inside the circle below the percentage, this metric represents the total amount of approved invoices in the project currency.


3. W.I.P. (Work in Progress)

Work that has been recorded and marked as billable but has not yet been invoiced to the client. In other words, this is work completed but not included in an approved client invoice.

Displayed in two views:

  • In money – the value of billable hours not included in approved invoices.

  • In hours – the actual number of billable hours not included in approved invoices.


4. Outstanding Balance

The amount from approved invoices that remains unpaid by the client.


5. Prepayment

Represents client prepayments for the project that have not yet been “earned” by the law firm.


6. Budget

Shows the total project budget and the remaining available balance. The calculation is based on the value of billable hours recorded in the project.


7. Time

Displays the total recorded time for the project, broken down into:

  • Billable — hours (value) that can be invoiced to the client.

  • Non-Billable — hours (value) that are not subject to invoicing.



8. Expenses

Represents the total expenses recorded in the project.


Why these metrics matter
  • To monitor the financial status of each project and forecast revenue.

  • To understand which part of the work has already been paid, which is pending invoicing, and which is non-billable.

  • To plan within the project budget and control outstanding balances.

 
IdeaTip: Regularly review W.I.P. and Outstanding Balance to ensure timely invoicing and avoid the accumulation of unpaid invoices.
