How does the account summary work?

The account summary in your Lean Align invoice emails to clients can be enabled in Settings > Email Settings > Account Summary. Enabling it will auto-populate it on your Invoice and Reminder emails going forward.


What's included?


Your account summary will include the following:

  • Balance Forward - if applicable, will populate with any outstanding amount owed for the client or matter

  • New Charges - the amount added to the client or matter's balance from the new invoice

  • Paid from Retainer - if you record a payment from retainer/trust on the invoice prior to emailing, the amount paid will populate here

  • Payments Received - will populate with any other payments recorded on the invoice

  • To Pay - the calculated amount owed based on the above values

If your client has a retainer/trust, the retainer summary will populate as well:

  • Starting Retainer Balance

  • Ending Retainer Balance

  • Minimum Retainer Balance (will only populate if your firm uses evergreen retainers and the client has a non-zero minimum specified)
