One Software Suite for Every Part of Your Practice

 

Key Takeaways

• A practice consisting of litigation, debt collection and conveyancing departments or any combination thereof can manage every department from one suite rather than several disconnected systems.

• Fee debiting and the opening of client/matter files are the main integration points between modules, with transactions and file data moved into Lexpro Accounting via export and import.

• Every module still keeps its own specialist functions, so nothing is lost by working from a single suite.

• Financial records stay consistent across departments, whatever the size of the practice.

• The suite covers accounting, litigation and debt collection, conveyancing, deceased estates, payroll, sectional titles and payments.

For a firm director, practice manager or financial manager overseeing more than one department, the real work often isn’t inside any single system. It’s between them. A conveyancing file closes in one program, the fee has to be captured again in another, and the figures are checked a third time before the month-end reports go out. Multiply that across legal, property or both, and duplicate data entry becomes a permanent line item on someone’s week.

Lexpro’s answer is a single suite built around one accounting core, so each module works as one system rather than as separate silos that happen to share a supplier.

What Each Module Covers

  • Lexpro Accounting: trust and business accounting, bank reconciliations, Section 86 investment processing, trial balances and financial statements. 
  • Lexpro Litigation & Debt Collection: matter files, fee billing, court documents, diary entries and customisable debt collection reports.
  • Lexpro Conveyancing Management: file opening, fee debiting, document templates and transaction requests through to accounting.
  • Lexpro Deceased Estates & Wills: estate administration, liquidation and distribution accounts, and fee billing for each estate.
  • Lexpro Payroll: pay cycles, leave management, SARS reporting and an employee self-service portal, integrated with Lexpro Accounting.
  • Lexpro Sectional Titles: scheme administration, levy and reserve fund calculations, and owner statements.
  • Lexpro Payments: payment capture, bank account verification, electronic authorisation and uploading of transactions to Internet banking platforms.  The program can be used either as part of Lexpro Accounting or as a standalone solution. 

A practice does not need every module to benefit from this structure. A firm running litigation and conveyancing today can add deceased estates later, and the new department connects into the same accounting core rather than starting as its own island.

How the Modules Actually Connect

The connection between modules runs through fee debiting. When a fee is debited in litigation, conveyancing, deceased estates or another module, that transaction is exported from the module and imported into Lexpro Accounting. It is not an automatic live transfer between systems; it is a defined export and import step, which keeps a clear record of what moved and when. The opening of client or matter files is also a key integration point that uses this same export and import process into Lexpro Accounting. Lexpro Payroll provides a staff portal from which employees can access their pay slips and request leave.

For a director or financial manager, the practical result is that every department’s fee activity ends up in the same set of trust and business accounts. There is one place to reconcile, one set of trial balances, and one view of the practice’s financial position, regardless of how many modules generated the underlying transactions.

One Set of Financial Records, Whatever the Size

This matters just as much for a large multi-branch firm as it does for a smaller practice adding its second department. Reconciling five separate exports at month-end is a different job to reconciling one accounting system that already reflects every module’s fee activity. The benefit isn’t fewer modules, it’s fewer places where the same figure has to be checked twice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do all the modules share one accounting system? Yes. Accounting sits at the centre of the suite, and fee transactions from other modules are exported and imported into it, giving the practice one consistent set of financial records.

Does Lexpro Payroll connect to the other legal or property modules? While payroll integrates with Lexpro Accounting, it also provides a staff portal where employees can independently access their pay slips and request leave.

Can a practice start with one module and add others later? Yes. Modules can be added as a practice grows, and each one connects into the same accounting core rather than operating as a standalone system.

Bringing It Together

Running  litigation,  conveyancing or both from one suite means fewer places for the same figure to be entered, checked and reconciled. With fee debiting as the connecting thread into Lexpro Accounting, a firm director or practice manager gets one consistent financial picture across every department, whatever the size or mix of the practice.
