## About Centerbase
Centerbase is legal performance platform built specifically for midsize law firms that have outgrown spreadsheets and disconnected point solutions. Rather than stitching together separate tools for billing, accounting, and case management, Centerbase brings the entire business side of a law practice matters, time and billing, trust accounting, document management, and reporting into a single native system of record. The platform is organized around three pillars: Practice (matter and document management, workflow automation, Microsoft Office integration), Manage (native billing and trust accounting, ePre-bill approvals, embedded client payments), and Grow (firm-wide performance reporting and analytics). At the center of Centerbase&#39;s platform is Centerbase IQ, an AI-powered natural language intelligence layer launched at the ALA Annual Conference &amp; Expo. Centerbase IQ lets managing partners and firm administrators ask plain-language questions about firm performance and get citation-backed answers pulled simultaneously from billing, financial, matter, and productivity data in seconds, with every answer showing its source. Because it&#39;s built on Centerbase&#39;s native billing and accounting data rather than third-party integrations stitched together after the fact, firms get a level of speed and accuracy that bolt-on AI tools can&#39;t replicate. Centerbase also supports automated time capture (including an integration with Billables AI) and embedded payment processing, so firms can move from unbilled time to collected revenue without leaving the platform. The result is a single source of truth that gives midsize firm leadership the financial clarity and operational control to grow strategically rather than just keep up. Centerbase is headquartered in Dallas, Texas, and serves managing partners, firm administrators, and attorneys at growing midsize firms across the U.S.




## Centerbase Reviews
  ### 1. Highly Customizable with Flexible Custom Fields and Screens and Automation!

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Asucena S. | Office Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 21, 2026

**What do you like best about Centerbase?**

I love how customizable it is—we need (and have) a lot of custom fields and screens, and it handles that really well.

**What do you dislike about Centerbase?**

The shared calendar is very useful when it works well, but it also has a lot of quirks (which could be from Microsoft). Advanced reports aren’t easy to create or understand. On top of that, the support articles feel outdated and/or not very helpful.

**What problems is Centerbase solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It was the best—and really the only—solution we found that was highly customizable and able to run complex workflows. It has also made billing and payments much easier and faster for us.

  ### 2. Centerbase Makes Workflow Customization Easy

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Legal Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 21, 2026

**What do you like best about Centerbase?**

I love that you can customize workflows relatively easily and make it work for you.  Of course, there can always be improvement, but I know that Centerbase is working on those things as I have been part of the evaluators to look at what they're thinking about doing.

**What do you dislike about Centerbase?**

The workflows are sometimes hard to manage and create. I've worked with a lot of support people who are always happy to show me what they are doing and why which allows me to try to figure it out, but it's not out-of-the-box intuitive.

**What problems is Centerbase solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Managing workflows in a single place and also providing us a place to keep potential and actual clients in a single spot.  Also, billing.

  ### 3. Advanced Reporting Made Easy, Backed by Exceptional Support

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Stephen M. | Operations Assistant and Paralegal Coordinator , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 13, 2026

**What do you like best about Centerbase?**

Centerbase is an easy choice because it lets me create advanced reports that other software doesn’t offer, and it’s backed by great customer service and incredible internal consultants like Hillary and Camille.

**What do you dislike about Centerbase?**

The system takes some time to learn because there is so much customization.

**What problems is Centerbase solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We needed help reporting the ways our attorneys were requesting and Centerbase provides that.

  ### 7. Made my day to day incredibly easy!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kay H. | Ops, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2022

**What do you like best about Centerbase?**

How customizable it is; when I had to work on multiple projects, I didn't need to remember every single step because with my team, we have already created the appropriate workflows, which helps us to be more efficient

**What do you dislike about Centerbase?**

We had issues every time the platform was updated, based on the updates, they had some of our functionalities not work property, and we needed to contact support to get it fixed

**What problems is Centerbase solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It solved our team to be more efficient, with the workflows, it was a lot easier for us to be able to identify what projects had been worked on, completed or needed a bit more of attention

  ### 8. Grow your business with an intuitive software

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Andrea D. | Media planner, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 16, 2021

**What do you like best about Centerbase?**

Centerbase is focused mainly on Legal Practice management, billing, and accounting. What I like the most is how everything is integrated within cloud solution all in one package with immeasurable customization options.

**What do you dislike about Centerbase?**

Calendar management is not working correctly. But so far, nothing to dislike the most.

**Recommendations to others considering Centerbase:**

Try Centerbase if you're looking for an innovative program. More intelligent, not Harder! The functionality, customizing ability, payment processing, appearance, is easy to use for your attorneys

**What problems is Centerbase solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We were looking for a cloud solution integrated entirely and not linked with another product.

**Reviewed by:** Kenny H. | T, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

It does adapt to what your law firm needs. It can be synchronized to several other apps to take the operations to another level

**What do you dislike about Centerbase?**

Everytime an update ran, some of my settings will go crazy and stop working

**Recommendations to others considering Centerbase:**

Make sure to be patient when transitioning and using for the first time. The platform is very user friendly but can get confusing

**What problems is Centerbase solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Better scope of client organization, I can find everything on a single place when working for a client

  ### 10. A Uniquely Powerful Product That Keeps Getting Better

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Paul M. | Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 23, 2019

**What do you like best about Centerbase?**

Centerbase is a powerful product that keeps getting better--sometimes it is hard to keep up with all the improvements.  Although customer support was an issue early on (at least for a small customer) as they grew quickly, they have been taking steps to bring it up to the quality of the product itself.  The customizability of the product is unparalleled among online solutions--it is the level of customizability previously available only in a hosted server solution.  This is the only answer of which I am aware for a firm that wants a powerful solution for a reasonable monthly per-head fee.

**What do you dislike about Centerbase?**

Because Centerbase is so customizable, initial setup and customization will almost certainly require the help of an outside consultant "partner".
Centerbase has many online help tools but it is being updated and improved so quickly that there isn't an up-to-date user manual.

**Recommendations to others considering Centerbase:**

Identify a "partner" consultant you trust.

**What problems is Centerbase solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As a small firm, hosted server solutions were cost-prohibitive.  On the other hand, a unique practice and business model meant that typical online solutions were too inflexible.  I also wanted integrated accounting.  After two years of research, Centerbase is the only product that bridges those worlds.  I am using Centerbase for timekeeping, billing, document management, accounting (with online banking updates), vendor management, client contact management.  It also integrates with Office 365 (e-mail filing, calendar sync, Word integration). 

  ### 11. Centerbase Review

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Market Research | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 21, 2018

**What do you like best about Centerbase?**

Easily customized to sere you unique business needs. I consider it to be a somewhat versatile product.

**What do you dislike about Centerbase?**

Does not have some of the features that you might find with other CRM products. It's a bit less progressive in it's new versions as well.

**What problems is Centerbase solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We used it primarily for client management, sales lead tracking, and project management.
