Everything a sole practice needs, without the overhead of a big one
As a sole practitioner, every hour you spend on scheduling, drafting, or chasing an invoice is an hour you're not billing. Smokeball automates the repetitive parts of running a firm, capturing time as you work, auto-filling documents with matter data, and keeping your calendar, tasks, and files in one place you can reach from anywhere.
You don't need a full back office to run a profitable practice. Smokeball's built-in billing, client account management, and reporting give you the same financial visibility a larger firm has, without needing to hire for it. When it's time to grow, the same system scales with you.
Automatic time capture
Every call, email, and document edit is tracked against the right matter, so billable time is never lost to memory.
One-person back office
Billing, client account management, and reporting are built in, so you don't need extra staff to keep the business side running.
Work from anywhere
Access your full practice from a phone, tablet, or laptop, whether you're in chambers, in court, or between meetings.
“Smokeball’s automatic time tracking and billing features have provided valuable insights into cost estimates, helping us optimise fixed fees and improve financial planning.”

FAQs
Everything you want to know before taking the next step.
What is sole practitioner software?
Sole practitioner software is practice management software designed for solicitors running a firm on their own, combining matter management, billing, document automation, and calendaring in one system built to replace the staff a bigger firm would otherwise need.
Can sole practitioners afford practice management software?
Yes. Smokeball is priced for firms of one, and the time saved on billing and admin work typically pays for the subscription many times over through captured billable hours alone.
Does sole practitioner software help with trust accounting compliance?
Yes. Automatic time tracking and built-in client account management help sole practitioners meet SRA Accounts Rules while getting paid faster.
Can Smokeball grow with my practice if I hire staff later?
Yes. Smokeball scales from a single user to a full team, so you don't need to switch systems as your sole practice adds solicitors or support staff.
Is sole practitioner software difficult to set up alone?
No. Smokeball's UK-based onboarding and support are built to get a sole practitioner fully set up without needing in-house IT support
