Yes, you can set up the client as contingency billing for fees and use a billing layout that shows the work done but doesn't give it a value. The expenses would be billed as normal.

Note that this will mark the slips as "billed" but the value won't be permanent until you complete the flat fee and bill for the contingency amount.

Thanks so much for your answer. The client is set up as contingency but I have the fees on arrangement 2 set as do not bill. Is this wrong? When I generate an invoice, it is showing the fees and costs like a hourly bill would look. These clients are set as contingency but not a flat fee, as we do not know how long or the value of the case is. They are only paying costs until the case is over, in which I believe they may only pay a portion of the actual fees. I hope this makes sense? I suppose I could set these clients up with a different billing arrangement. I appreciate your help tremendously!!!

If the fees are set as do not bill then they usually won't show. A flat fee arrangement of contingency means you don't know what the fee will be until the end. You can generate bills "normally", without making the slips do not bill, and then put in the dollar value at the end. Look at the help under contingency.

Thanks again for your help! I think that the contingency flat fee arrangement sounds about right, but what if I am sending the client monthly invoices for costs, does this arrangement still apply?

You can set up a flat fee arrangement for fees and a slip based arrangement for expenses.
