It's a solid tool if you just need something reliable that keeps your accounting straight. It might not be the prettiest software out there, but it offers decent value for money because it rarely crashes and handles the heavy lifting well. We rely on it every day, even if we grumble about the clunky menus sometimes.
Pros: The billing and bookkeeping sides of things are really thorough. It handles all the complex accounting stuff easily, which makes me feel confident about the security and compliance side of things. The reporting feature is also a big plus—once you figure out how to customize them, you can pull up exactly what you need to see for the month.
Cons: It definitely looks and feels like older software. The interface isn't super intuitive, so training new people on it always takes a while. Also, trying to get hold of customer support can sometimes be a hassle when you're stuck on a specific billing error and need answers fast.
Shreyas N. · Law Practitioner · Law Practice · May 14, 2026
Pros: Tabs3 has provided such comfort with the level of security that they offer. Compared to other previously used products--nothing compares! It also makes our office systems run so much smoother with how efficient their accounting and bookkeeping services are.
Cons: There were some bugs with IT that gave me a few tech glitches. However, their customer support staff is amazing and they had the issue resolved extremely quickly and I've had no issues outside of that one isolated event.

Sam L. · Office Manager · Health, Wellness and Fitness · May 1, 2026
Overall, our experience with the software is good. The software provides a good user experience for us. Good performance and ease of use.
Pros: TABS Software has given us a streamline to our billing, bookkeeping, collections and reporting tools.
Cons: We're not that happy multiple users can't use the system at the same time to invoice or bill customers.
Chris M. · Administrator · Accounting · April 28, 2026
A simple and user friendly software for a law practice! I have been a paralegal for over 20 years, and I have used several different software applications in law offices. TABS3 has been one of the easiest and user friendly legal software out there!
Pros: Customer support is friendly, fast and committed to resolving any issue with efficiency, calmness and kindness. I appreciate their dedication and care!
Cons: Not really anything so far! I have only been a user of TABS3 for less than a year and I have not had any significant problems.,
Gloria S. · Paralegal · Law Practice · April 23, 2026
Overall, my experience with Tabs3 has been positive. It’s a reliable system for billing and accounting, though it could be more modern and easier to use.
Pros: I like the strong billing and accounting features. It keeps everything organized and makes managing finances and invoices much easier.
Cons: The system can feel a bit outdated and may take time to learn. The interface could be more user-friendly.
ALISSA P. · AGENT · Transportation/Trucking/Railroad · April 19, 2026
I loved the reporting features it had; it worked amazing. The UI updates they gave were basically masking what the end side of the product functioned off of.
Pros: Tabs3/Practice Master was one of the best Accounting and Bookkeeping products I have ever used. The reality is, it is an old software platform that requires an on-site server to function; They attempted to utilize the acquired SAAS program and said it would function the same way, however it never did. As a hard-installed (on-site) install, it is absolutely amazing. However it still needs drastic updates to it's overall platform and a rework of the entire backend.
Cons: They refused to update their systems beyond the Windows 98 based platforms. It nolonger worked with 64bit systems, and required on-prem services. It is an old (while very efficient) product, and needs to be updated to a post year 2010 platform.
Christopher G. · Director of Technology · Legal Services · April 8, 2026
I've been using Tabs for over 20 years. It continues to grow features and gets more robust over time.
Pros: Tabs3 is great value for the money and has a robust offering of modules that integrate seamlessly for accounting, billing, management reporting and client management. Customer support is amazing and can troubleshoot most items over the phone.
Cons: I have not run into any cons with Tabs3. It has everything our small law firm needs to function like one of the big fish. It has a lot of options for bulk entries, integrations, etc.
Tari M. · Administrator · Legal Services · March 18, 2026
Awesome! The Customer service is outstanding and everyone is so helpful. Also the tutorials are very helpful also.
Pros: Customer Support and how everything is taught at a level and speed that I can understand. They make me feel improtant.
Cons: Really have not had any problems we also have Practice Master which I find has a few flaws but all over all everything in Tabs Accounts Payable and now Trust Accounting is amazing
Terri M. · Office Manager Bookkeeper · Law Practice · February 20, 2026
Pros: They are always changing and upgrading the platform. The conflict check reports and all around reporting in general is very helpful. They just updated their billing system as well and it has been very useful
Cons: It is a very outdated experience when utilizing the software. Only one person can complete the billing at a time which slows down the process. While the offering of reports can be very useful I find myself having trouble utilizing them as there are items that I would like to search or sort by that are only available if you purchase a report builder.
Emily D. · Accounting Assistant · Legal Services · October 27, 2025
It helped with handling and processing cases including the financial side of billing and financials to be sent out and internally
Pros: This truly helped with the amount of time that lawyers and support staff had to spend handling and processing case documents.
Cons: There was a pretty steep learning curve that had to be overcome prior to being able to actually implement it.
Ginna G. · Atorney · Law Practice · August 2, 2025
I was happy using Tabs and thought it was great because it was the only one I had ever used. It wasn't until I looked at other time/billing software that I realized there was so much more available.
Pros: The ability to sort reports the way I wanted them, even if it took way too long to generate.
Cons: That it takes so long for reports to generate. Not being able to "build your day" and enter by date instead of file/matter. Not being able to split bill. Not able to change code and retain entry.
Elizabeth S. · Paralegal · Legal Services · April 24, 2025
TABS makes your daily tasks easy to accomplish and all your information easily accessible.
Pros: Easy to use and easy to learn which is great when training new employees. Easy access to all the information you need.
Cons: Required annual support subscription which we do not use.
Patty W. · Office Manager · Legal Services · February 4, 2025
I have been using TABS3 for over 20 years. Prior to that time, as a CPA, I assisted attorneys who were using it as well. It is an excellent product that has been around for a long time. And this is a company that understands "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" because it works! (Don't misunderstand the difference between updated/modernized versus "overhauled". This product has kept up with the times without overreaching.)
Pros: This is an excellent product that works as advertised. It is geared towards attorneys but, as a CPA firm, it has benefitted us greatly.
Cons: I would like to have a better "training session" to use this software. I believe we are using it well, but it could be better benefit us (but I'm not sure how).
Field L. · President · Accounting · January 22, 2025
This firm has been using the product for several years and I myself manage this for the firm for 3+ years.
Pros: Ease of Setup, easy deployment & easy to use.
Cons: I haven't had any issues with this product.
John N. · IT Administrator · Law Practice · September 9, 2024
I work with the various Tabs3 module, but primarily with PracticeMaster. I interact with PracticeMaster for calendaring, time entry, interfacing with clients (via email), and document management (of client records).
Pros: User friendliness of the application and scope of the different modules available. Module interface is also a key pro to this product; that you can access information about different aspects of client interaction from many "angles" or perspectives.
Cons: Limit to number of users that can be on the platform.
Megan K. · Paralegal · Legal Services · July 2, 2024
Great. I learn new things every day. Great program!
Pros: Very user friendly. I really like all the integration between the programs.
Cons: I like it all. Can't think of anything seriously wrong.
Nancy T. · Assistant to the Administrator · Legal Services · June 6, 2024
Excellent! It's a great tool for our office.
Pros: The ease of the program (once learned) and the expertise and patience of customer service staff.
Cons: The interface takes a little time to learn and navigate.
Marion M. · Partner · Legal Services · April 26, 2024
Using it for 25+ years and excellent programs
Pros: Ease of training new users yet extensive features for power users
Cons: No direct access for Mobile phones to enter time
WILKA M. · Firm Adminitrator · Legal Services · April 15, 2024
Using since forever and it has a wealth of information in it. Therefore, it would be hard to change. Younger staff members think it is cumbersome.
Pros: Synchronizes with Practice Master and Trust Accounting. Not having to repeatedly enter information. Conflict check is great, quick and easy
Cons: Cumbersome as it is really accounting based design. Reports are difficult sometimes to get the results you want. The overall billing process takes a lot of time, as we have to be sure lawyers & staff have all info correct.
Deborah P. · Attorney Owner · Legal Services · March 7, 2024
BEST Programs for any business that needs a controlled accountability for clients, court, law firm.
Pros: This program keeps all client information controlled. Anything needed for any certain client is a quick report. Address, expenses paid out, payments incoming. balances on accounts, any extra notes that will be needed is also been a key part of this program. It is one of the best quality programs that i have worked with. Support team has always been very helpful and quick with any problem solving or questions.
Cons: Price, but to get a good program like this, it will cost.
Judy O. · Bookkeeper · Law Practice · March 7, 2024
I am really happy with Tabs3 & Practice Master. Having used it for 7 years, I have, and am I am happy to continue to recommend it it other firms.
Pros: I have been working with Tabs3 for about 7 years, the software has more features than we even use, but are there for larger firms with more complex billing systems. In the instances when we run into a tricky situation, the phone support is fast and knowledgeable. You get a real person who does in fact know how to solve whatever issue you are having. The system is stable and we very rarely run into any software issues.
Cons: The one situation that is a little inconvenient is that not all of the screens that are available in the Tabs3 client exist in PM. Consequently, users who are primarily using PM, have to specifically log into Tabs3 to make billing-related edits to the client profile that are not accessible in PM.
Jennifer D. · Business Manager · Legal Services · March 7, 2024
We have been using the entire suite of products for about 25 years and are very pleased. It has helped our firm grow while adding minimal additional administrative staff.
Pros: It has been relatively easy to deploy and use. Most functions are intuitive and the help function is very good.
Cons: Learning how to code documents for the Document Generator was a significant time investment. This is one area were better Help materials might be warranted.
Alex S. · Managing Partner · Law Practice · March 7, 2024
I have been using it for many, ok 30+ years and I love it.
Pros: It is easy to use, flawless in my opinion for what our firm needs it for.
Cons: Not sure I can think of anything that I would change. There are updates to keep on top of new things which I like.
Sue H. · Office Manager and Legal Assistant · Law Practice · March 6, 2024
I've been using Tabs3 for over 16 years. It's by far the BEST accounting/practice management software on the market. I've never had a problem that tech support couldn't fix!
Pros: Tabs3 has flawless integration between all the modules - from PracticeMaster to Trust accounting and their tech support is second to none!
Cons: If I could fix 1 thing in the software it wold be not having as many exclusive tasks and being able to combine GL entries to match to imported bank transactions.
Heather B. · Finance Director · Legal Services · March 6, 2024
It definitely makes my job much easier and we are so much more organized because of this software.
Pros: I had no training when I started using Tabs3 but it is very user friendly and I pick it up within the first month of starting here at Shea Kohl Law.
Cons: Not really sure if there is anything I like the least. I just really like this system.
