In the fast-paced world of professional services, the demands of practice management have grown exponentially. It’s no longer enough to merely manage; innovation and adaptability have become the new benchmarks. At FYI, we’ve been listening closely to your needs, and we’re thrilled to introduce a transformative solution that’s set to revolutionise the way you manage your practice: FYI Elite.

This new tier in FYI has been designed to offer an integrated solution for document and practice management, driven by FYI’s process automation and workflow capabilities. Offering time & billing, reports, client maintenance, employee management, and more, Elite empowers your practice for greater efficiency and success.

Navigate chargeable hours with precision

Elite’s time and billing feature is your practice’s ultimate tool for precision and efficiency. It simplifies the way you handle chargeable hours, offering a host of benefits to make your practice run seamlessly:

  • Flexible billing across multiple entities

But that’s not all! Elite also lets you create and manage multiple time rates effortlessly, tailor non-chargeable time categories, handle disbursements, and generate invoices that perfectly match your practice’s requirements.

Tailored insights at your fingertips

In the world of practice management, flexibility is paramount, and that’s precisely what Elite practice reporting offers. With the power of Excel, you can create custom reports that align perfectly with your practice’s unique needs and preferences.  

Experience the benefits of live reports, with incremental refreshes ensuring the most recent data is available in real-time. Coupled with the flexibility of automatic updates or refresh at your convenience, delivery of your practice insights has never been so easy.

Our reporting takes a leap into sophistication, leveraging the power of custom fields directly into time and billing. When you dive into reporting, you’ll find your data, seamlessly inherited and pre-selected, eliminating the need to fill in the blanks.  

Elite offers on-demand insights precisely when you need them, with over 10 ready-to-use templates.  

Boost productivity with dynamic dashboards

Productivity dashboards are your gateway to enhance efficiency and informed decision making with real time visibility and performance tracking. Designed with user-friendliness in mind, Elite’s productivity dashboards allow you to quickly access and ungroup data. Display your productivity by date range, apply filters and distinguish between chargeable and non-productive time targets at a glance. Keep track of draft timesheets, compare expected hours with actual input and ensure everything is up to date, avoiding any unwanted reminders from the practice manager.  

Experience a new level of automation

Elite introduces game-changing automations across practice management, transforming your operations. These automations not only save time but also enhance efficiency, consistency, and accuracy. Automation opens up a world of possibilities for streamlining your practice management – imagine automating monthly invoices, disbursements, reports and more. With Elite, you have the flexibility to design custom automation solutions that fit your practice’s unique needs.

With Elite, set up and migration is a breeze, taking just a few hours to get you up and running. We ensure all WIP and invoice data is imported so you can immediately benefit from the valuable reporting. Our user-friendly wizards ensures a smooth transition, allowing you to migrate your WIP at any time during the month, without disrupting your team’s workflow.
