Management
Approximately 6 years ago Tamara Sharp came to the Firm with Mike O'Flaherty when he brought his team to Fonda & Fraser. Prior to that she worked with the varying O’Flaherty Firm's for 12 years.
As her title suggests, Tamara is charged with the complicated task of all things related to billing including interfacing her generated photocopy, Nexis/Lexus and reimbursable legal hard costs reports to each individual invoice that goes out the door to our customers. Through automated software, Tamara collects all time entered by attorneys and paralegals throughout the three Firm locations and prepares pre-bills for evaluation by herself and attorney Team Leaders to assure compliance with client guidelines. She also maintains and updates these client billing and case management guidelines for the Firm. Tamara is the Firm liaison to our clients’ automated e-billing programs, where she up-loads invoices, monitors payments, adjustments, appeals and interfaces with clients on new matters and billing issues.
Tamara’s responsibilities also include the design and preparation of billing, accounting and statement reports, which include month end accounts receivable and payable reports. She performs conflict checks and opens files in the Firm's management information system. Tamara supervises the billing assistant’s workflow and work product and she monitors and maintains the Firm's retainers and/or contingencies on matters where applicable.
