As a freelance court reporter, your time on the record is your most valuable asset. But too often, your income is held back by unpaid invoices, admin work, and the sheer weight of running a business on your own.

Court Reporters Clearinghouse (CRC) exists to change that.

Our mission is to honor God by serving others, and we live that out by supporting independent court reporters and videographers with the back-office help they need to earn more and stress less—without giving up their independence.

How CRC Puts More Money in Your Pocket

When you partner with Court Reporters Clearinghouse, you’re not just getting “help with paperwork.” You’re plugging into a full-service support team designed to increase your income and free up your time.

Here’s how CRC helps you give yourself a raise:

1. Earn 80% on Bill-Out for Your Own Clients

You keep 80% on bill-out for jobs you report for your own clients, so more of what you earn actually makes it to your bank account.

  • You report the job.

  • CRC handles production, billing, and collections.

  • You receive 80% when the job bills out.

2. Earn 10% Commission on Overflow and Video

You’re also rewarded when your business grows beyond your personal bandwidth:

  • 10% commission on all jobs reported by others that come through you.

  • **10% commission on all your video billings.】

That means when you bring in work you can’t cover yourself—or when your clients need video—you still participate in the revenue while CRC handles the logistics.

3. Paid on Bill-Out with Weekly Direct Deposits

No more wondering when you’ll be paid.

CRC pays you on bill-out, and you receive regular weekly paychecks deposited directly to your bank account. You get predictable cash flow, without chasing checks or tracking who owes what.

4. We Handle Accounting, Invoicing, and Collections

CRC does the part almost no reporter enjoys:

  • We prepare invoices at your specific page rates.

  • We send regular monthly reminders.

  • We handle collection calls, so you don’t have to call attorneys about past-due invoices.

  • We pay all your overflow reporters on bill-out, so you’re not writing checks or sending out 1099s.

You focus on reporting. CRC focuses on getting you paid.

Why Our Reporters See a 20% Increase in Take-Home Pay

On average, Court Reporters Clearinghouse clients see about a 20% increase in take-home pay and a 40% increase in job satisfaction.

Here’s one simple way to look at it:

  • If you currently take home $5,000 per month, a 20% increase is an extra $1,000 every month—without adding more hours to your week.

  • Over a year, that’s $12,000 more in your pocket.

That increase comes from three main areas:

  1. Higher net on your own work (80% on bill-out).

  2. Additional commissions on overflow and video.

  3. More time available for reporting because CRC is handling your production, billing, and collections.
