Bookkeeping Built for Law Firms

For most businesses, bad bookkeeping costs money. For a law firm, it can cost the license. Trust accounting isn't a preference, commingling client funds or overdrawing a client's trust balance is a disciplinary matter in every state, and 'my bookkeeper didn't understand IOLTA' has never once worked as a defense. This is the one industry where the bookkeeping itself is regulated, and it's work we take exactly that seriously.

What law firm books need to get right

  • IOLTA trust accounting with monthly three-way reconciliation: bank balance, trust ledger, and individual client ledgers in agreement, documented
  • Retainers held in trust until earned, moved to operating only against invoiced work
  • No client ledger ever negative, the bright line that bar auditors check first
  • Advanced client costs (filing fees, experts, records) tracked by matter and recovered at settlement
  • Matter-level profitability, so you know which practice areas and fee models actually pay
  • Partner draws and distributions kept clean for the K-1s

Works with Clio, MyCase, and PracticePanther

Your practice management system tracks matters and time; we keep it reconciled with QuickBooks Online and the trust account monthly, so the three systems tell one story a bar auditor would nod at.
