New York, NY, May 11, 2026 — Elite, the AI financial operations platform purpose-built for the legal industry, today announced the launch of a new business unit, Advisory Services, expanding how the company supports law firms in achieving measurable outcomes from their cloud, data, and AI investments.

As firms aim to accelerate modernization and migrate to cloud seamlessly, Advisory Services is a structured, executive-level engagement designed to provide them with a clear view of their current state, benchmark performance against best practices and deliver a prioritized roadmap for improvement. The unit specialists provide the following targeted cost-savings and revenue acceleration strategies built upon deep expertise in the Elite platform and legal industry:

  • Executive Operational Assessments to define a firm’s current state, benchmark performance, and establish a strategic roadmap aligned to business goals

  • User Adoption and Process Assessments to identify gaps in utilization, improve workflows, and drive stronger adoption across teams

  • Global Financial and Compliance Assessments spanning e-invoicing, tax, general ledger structure, and regulatory requirements to reduce risk and improve reporting accuracy

  • Billing and eBilling Assessments to streamline workflows, reduce errors, and improve invoice accuracy and timeliness

  • Collections Assessments to identify inefficiencies, improve visibility, and accelerate cash flow

  • Analytics and Reporting Assessments to strengthen KPI tracking, improve data integrity, and enable more confident decision-making

“Law firms are under pressure to modernize faster, prevent revenue loss, and accelerate cash collection,” said Martin Linusson, Chief Customer Officer, Elite. “We already offer a best-in-class AI-enabled platform to do that. Now, we also offer our targeted Advisory Services to support that modernization journey. It’s about helping our customers turn technology into outcomes. We’re focused on delivering a more complete experience across the work-to-cash lifecycle, bringing together platform expertise, data insight, and practical execution to help firms reduce friction, accelerate cash flow, and operate more efficiently.”

“Working more closely with Elite has helped us move faster from implementation to impact,” said Chris Yergeau, Director of Finance and Operations Systems, Paul Hastings. “We’ve been able to simplify parts of our process, improve efficiency across our financial workflows, and get more value out of the platform in a shorter period of time.”

This new area of the business reflects Elite’s continued evolution as a SaaS platform provider. As customer expectations shift toward continuous value rather than one-time implementation, Elite is expanding its role to help firms not only deploy technology but optimize how it’s used across financial operations.

Through this approach, firms can better quantify operational inefficiencies, identify risk and compliance exposure, and align their technology investments more closely with business strategy—ultimately driving measurable improvements across the work-to-cash lifecycle.

By combining software, data, and advisory expertise, Elite is strengthening its ability to support firms in reducing operational friction and improving financial performance.
