Los Angeles, November 4, 2011 – Elite, a Thomson Reuters business, today broadened its partnership with nQueue Billback to an Integration partner, which brings a higher level of invoicing and accounting efficiency to Elite 3E® and Enterprise clients. nQueue Billback, the leading provider of software-based cost recovery systems, has integrated its iA Expense Manager solution with Elite’s leading financial and practice management systems to more easily and accurately capture expense data that can be used to ensure profitability.

With a push towards alternative fee arrangements and a higher scrutiny of expenses on firm invoices, firms need to know exactly what their costs are to ensure firm-wide profitability. iA Expense Manager minimizes financial leakage by automating the import and tracking of data from all expenses, even those incurred outside an organization’s devices such as travel, research, overnight and courier charges, court fees and credit card charges. The solution also enables online exception editing of third-party data to improve accuracy and reduce manual steps.

“In addition to providing core cost recovery capabilities, nQueue Billback believes in the value of cost and expense data for legal and professional services firms, as it ultimately translates into profitability,” said Richard Hellers, president and CEO of nQueue Billback. “As an Integration partner, we are better able to automate cost recovery directly with Elite’s leading financial systems on a client and matter level to reduce financial leakage.”

“Our clients clearly experienced the benefits of cost recovery from using the nQueue Billback solution with their Elite system. Now we can offer an even better platform to capture expense information and analyze profitability. Combined with the Elite data, firms have a complete picture to make more informed decisions,” said Kim Massana, president of Elite.
