What our clients say about our onboarding

“What set Smokeball apart for me is the impeccable onboarding experience. I found the Smokeball support team to be laser focused on ensuring that my firm got the most out of the software. They took the time to automate documents, upload precedents, and answer all my pressing questions. It can be a lonely world in start-up land, so it was a bonus to have a real person on the other end of the line to talk to!”
