Do you provide bookkeeping for law firms?

Can you reconcile both trust and operating accounts?
Absolutely. We reconcile all your law firm accounts monthly — including IOLTA, operating, payroll, and credit card accounts.
What software do you use for legal bookkeeping?
We primarily work with QuickBooks (Online and Desktop), but can integrate data from legal practice management systems like Clio, PracticePanther, and MyCase.
Will my books be compliant with legal trust rules?
Yes. We follow ABA and state-specific rules for trust funds. Your trust ledgers and reconciliations will meet audit requirements and client fund handling guidelines.
What reports will I receive each month?
You’ll receive a CPA-reviewed profit and loss statement, balance sheet, trust reconciliation report, and any custom reporting your firm needs.
Can you help clean up old trust account errors?
Yes. If your IOLTA records are out of balance, we can help fix them, reconcile the trust account history, and prepare clean records for audit or compliance review.
Do you support accrual or cash-based law firms?
We support both. We’ll help you determine what’s best based on your firm’s billing model and tax filing requirements.
Do you coordinate with our CPA or tax firm?
Yes. We prepare your monthly books so your CPA has everything they need for tax filings, financial strategy, or audits. We’re happy to coordinate on your behalf.
