Complexity Doesn't Have to Mean Chaos

Legacy systems and point solutions weren't built for firms running dozens of entities, currencies, and jurisdictions at once. At that scale, disconnected data creates friction that compounds as the firm grows, showing up everywhere finance touches.

What Leading Firms are Saying

"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."

Chris Yergeau, Director of Finance and Operations Systems, Paul Hastings

"Investing in powerful technology is enabling us to better serve our clients and empowering our firm to be more efficient, productive, and profitable."

Frank Pittard, Executive Director, Gentry Locke

"We are confident that 3E cloud represents a vastly superior choice in terms of cloud architecture."

Rob Hilton, Head of IT, Lee & Thompson

One System of Action for Every Financial Workflow

Most firms run these five functions as separate systems, creating friction across the work-to-cash cycle. 3E connects them into one unified platform, purpose-built for firms operating on an enterprise scale.

3E General Ledger: The Financial Core

Multi-entity, multi-currency operations in one configurable ledger.

  • Consolidate across entities and currencies without reconciling between systems
  • Shave real days off month-end close

3E Proforma: Smarter Billing Before Invoices Go Out

AI-assisted proforma and review built for complex firms, powered by Elite Intelligence.

  • Distribute proformas to thousands of timekeepers in hours, not days
  • Catch billing-guideline issues before invoices go out, protecting realization
Elite-AILPCTA

3E Budgeting: From Reactive Tracking to Proactive Planning

Dynamic, live data pulled automatically, so forecasts reflect reality.

  • Build across matters, departments, practice groups, entities, and currencies
  • Model the profitability impact of a decision before it's made

3E Accounts Payable: Pay Faster, Control Better

Automated scheduling, validation, and approvals — zero paperwork.

  • Catch payment errors before money moves
  • Keep a clean, real-time audit trail with no separate reconciliation at close

3E Reporting: The Answers Leaders Need

Real-time dashboards drill down to the client, matter, and fee-earner level.

  • See profitability at any level as the data changes
  • Spot a realization slide while it's still fixable, not at quarter-end

Elite 3E is the financial operating platform built for the world's most complex law firms. It unifies general ledger, Elite Proforma, budgeting and forecasting, accounts payable, and reporting into a single, matter-aware platform — giving firms across multiple entities, currencies, and jurisdictions the consolidation, control, and governance to improve realization, accelerate billing, and drive profitability.

Cloud removes the friction on-prem can't escape: manual upgrade cycles, disconnected data, and limited access to AI. It enables automatic updates, real-time data across the platform, and a connected ecosystem — eBillingHub, Elite Validate, Elite Payments, and Data Connect. 

3E shortens billing cycles by automating proforma generation and distribution, streamlining multi-approval workflows, and connecting directly to eBillingHub for submission and Elite Payments for collections. Firms move from time entry to cash with fewer manual steps and less revenue left on the table.

3E automates high-volume financial tasks, reduces billing errors and write-offs, and gives leaders real-time visibility into the metrics that drive profitability — translating to faster cash conversion, improved realization, and less time spent on administrative finance work.
