Passive billing

Stop reconstructing your day at six o'clock.

When Cedent does work on a matter, the time and the activity are recorded as it happens. You review the entries, not your memory.

Automatic capture

The work writes the entry.

Every entry still waits for your approval. Passive capture means you are editing a record rather than inventing one.

What it does

Billing that catches what you miss.

Narratives, not tool logs

Each entry reads the way a paralegal would write it, because a raw activity log is not something you can put in front of a client.

Leakage detection

Cedent scans the matter timeline for work that generated no entry and surfaces it. The fifteen-minute call you took on Tuesday is the money most solos lose.

Today, Yesterday, or a range

Pull exactly the entries you mean to review with one click, or set a date range. No scrolling to find last Thursday.

Approve one at a time or all at once

Review in the flow of your day and approve individually, or clear the whole list at close of business.

Edit in batches

Adjust time, rewrite a narrative, or reassign entries across several matters without opening each one.

Export to your billing system

Approved entries export as a file your practice management system takes directly, with the rate and amount snapshotted at export.

Export to your practice management system is on the Professional plan and above.
