Manual invoice review is one of the most time-consuming and error-prone tasks in legal operations. Enter Spend Agent — Onit’s AI-native solution built to support, not replace, your team.
In this 20-minute demo, you’ll see how Spend Agent helps legal ops by:
Rapidly processing vendor-submitted invoices — up to 22× faster than traditional manual review.
Enforcing billing guidelines with natural-language logic — delivering 35% more accuracy in catching discrepancies and ensuring compliance.
Delivering instant, audit-ready insights — so you can act quickly and confidently.
With Spend Agent, your team spends less time buried in invoice reviews and more time driving strategic impact.
Legal spend doesn’t spiral out of control all at once. It builds quietly through patterns that go unnoticed until forecasts miss, invoices pile up, and leadership starts asking hard questions.
This easy-to-read guide helps legal operations teams recognize the early signals that drive spend higher long before it shows up in a budget review. It explores how disconnected systems, manual review, and lagging insight contribute to unpredictability, and why teams often feel blindsided even with years of data at their fingertips.
You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of where legal spend pressure actually starts, how it accelerates, and what separates reactive legal reporting from earlier, more confident decision-making.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to:
Identify early signals that quietly drive legal spend upward
Understand why traditional reporting catches problems too late
Recognize patterns across intake, matters, and invoices that indicate rising risk
See where manual review creates blind spots instead of control
Understand how AI-native approaches are changing when and how spend insight shows up
This guide is designed for legal ops leaders who want greater predictability without adding more process, more people, or more noise.

Legal budgets and accruals shouldn’t run on follow-up emails and end-of-month stress.
When legal and finance teams don’t have a reliable process to track budgets and accruals, things get messy—fast. You’re left reacting to late updates, surprise invoices, and misalignment with law firms and accounting.
Let’s change that.
Join us for a 20-minute demo of Onit’s budget and accrual automation and see how legal teams can:
Automate both budget requests and accrual collection in one workflow
Set custom schedules for law firm notifications and reminders
Compare budgets vs. accruals in real time—no more guessing
Improve vendor accountability and reduce manual follow-ups
Give Finance accurate numbers, faster
This is how you get proactive about legal spend—without spreadsheets, stress, or chasing law firms.
Legal ops teams don’t need more data. They need the right data. The kind that clearly shows leadership how legal contributes to the business.
This quick cheat sheet highlights the core reporting metrics legal ops teams rely on to show control, efficiency, and credibility without overcomplicating their reports.
Inside the guide, you’ll find:
Spend to budget metrics that demonstrate financial control
Billing compliance metrics that reduce friction and rework
Vendor mix and performance metrics that turn outside counsel management into measurable outcomes
And more!
Use this cheat sheet to guide your next report, quarterly review, or leadership conversation and keep your reporting focused on outcomes, not noise.
If vendor management feels harder than it should, it probably is.
Invoices come in from everywhere. Approvals stall. Firms follow up on payments. Finance wants answers you can’t pull quickly. None of that is unusual. But it is a sign your current process is creating friction behind the scenes.
This quick checklist helps legal ops teams spot where vendor management breaks down and what those gaps are really costing you in time, money, and credibility.
In this checklist, you’ll get a sanity-check on:
How invoices enter your system and who owns approvals
Whether billing rules are enforced before errors hit your budget
Where payment delays are hurting vendor relationships
If your vendor and spend data can actually be trusted
If your team is still chasing invoices or managing vendors in spreadsheets, this checklist is a good place to start.
