One operating system

Sixteen tools, one source of truth.

Most firms run on a shared drive, a spreadsheet and five apps that don't talk. Matterly replaces all of it — every matter, deadline, document, shilling and conversation in one connected workspace.

Practice

Matter management

Every case from intake to closed — with lifecycle, participants, priority, risk and an SOL clock that never sleeps.

Balance by design

Client money and firm money — never the same shilling.

Matterly keeps trust funds ring-fenced from office funds and continuously reconciled, so the two sides always balance. Watch it settle.

Ring-fenced & reconciled to the shilling
Built for Kenya

The only legal platform that keeps your books to Kenyan standard.

Foreign practice-management tools bolt on a basic invoice and call it billing. Matterly runs a real double-entry ledger in shillings, reconciles to M-Pesa, and ring-fences client money the way the LSK and your auditor expect.

From the firms

Trusted where the stakes are highest.

"We replaced our practice tool, our timesheet and our accountant's spreadsheet with Matterly. For the first time the whole firm — matters, deadlines and trust money reconciled to the shilling — is in one place."

AO
Amara Okelo
Managing Partner · Okelo & Bauer LLP

"Month-end used to take a week. Now the ledger is in KES, M-Pesa reconciles itself, and VAT to KRA is one click. Our auditor asked who set up our books."

GA
Grace Achieng
Practice Manager · Achieng & Co.

"I haven't missed a deadline since we switched. Verity tells me what's due and what I can bill before I've even opened the matter. It's like having a second associate."
