Get paid for sessions without awkward money talks
Therapists and counselors would rather spend the hour on care than on collecting fees. Finli bills sessions on a schedule, keeps regular clients on autopay and settles every payment at your own bank or credit union.
What gets in the way
Keep money out of the session
Automatic billing and reminders mean clinicians do not have to raise unpaid balances in the room.
Bill recurring and packaged sessions
Weekly clients, session packages and sliding-scale fees all need billing that matches the arrangement.
Pay contract clinicians cleanly
Group practices that work with contractors need tidy payment records and tax forms on file.

Email and text reminders follow up on open balances without staff or clinician involvement.
Pay-by Link for intakes and packages
Share a link so new clients can pay an intake fee or buy a package of sessions.
Client records and documents

For banks and credit unions
Therapy practices often start as solo or small group practices and grow by adding clinicians and space. Billing that settles client payments into accounts at your institution brings in the operating account early and positions you for lines of credit, business cards and expansion financing as the practice grows.
Where these businesses grow next
- Business line of credit
- Business credit card
- Commercial real estate or leasehold financing
Finli bills and collects session fees the practice sets; it does not process insurance claims or store clinical notes.
