Instead of MatterX
MatterX alternatives
MatterX brings practice management, trust accounting, and legal finance into one system for Australian and New Zealand law firms. Its Legal Finance suite covers matter lifecycles, time recording, billing, trust accounting, and financial reporting. Trust controls include three-way reconciliation, statutory deposits, controlled money handling, audit trails, dual payment authorisation, and compliance alerts. The platform runs on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, connects with Microsoft 365 services, and can sync matters, billing, and trust accounting with Xero. Good Minutes is free for up to five matters, while other plans are tailored by firm size and priced by quote.
