Law Firm Bookkeeping That Keeps Every Detail Connected
From operating accounts to client trust activity, law-firm books need to tie back to the bank, the matter, and the supporting records. I provide detail-driven bookkeeping and reconciliation support using QuickBooks Online and Clio Manage.
Operating Account Bookkeeping
(For the firm’s day-to-day financial activity)
Operating-account support may include:
Bank and credit-card reconciliations
Accounts payable and check-run coordination
Recording legal fees, client-cost reimbursements, and other firm activity
Monthly Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet reporting
Review of outstanding checks, deposits, and unresolved transactions
Available for ongoing monthly support or a defined cleanup project.
Scope is based on the number of accounts, transaction volume, and level of support required.
Trust & IOLTA/IOLA Reconciliation
(For NJ IOLTA, NY IOLA, and matter-level trust records)
Trust-account support may include:
Monthly three-way trust reconciliations
Settlement deposits, legal fees, matter costs, and client disbursements
Individual client and matter-ledger review
Review of outstanding checks and unresolved trust balances
Coordination between QuickBooks Online and Clio Manage records
Experience supporting NJ IOLTA and NY IOLA accounts.
Scope is based on the number of trust accounts, active matters, transaction volume, and condition of the existing records.
Cleanup & Client Ledgers
(For historical discrepancies and incomplete matter records)
Cleanup and ledger work may include:
Rebuilding historical operating or trust reconciliations
Researching duplicate, missing, or misclassified transactions
Tracing deposits and disbursements to the correct client or matter
Preparing and reviewing individual client ledgers
Documenting unresolved items requiring attorney review
Quoted after an initial records review.
You’ll receive a defined scope, estimated cost, and expected timeline before the project begins.
Cleanup creates a reliable starting point for ongoing reconciliation.
Need a Clearer Picture of Your Firm’s Books?
We’ll discuss your operating and trust accounts, current reconciliation process, and any records that need attention. From there, I’ll identify a practical starting point and define the scope of work.
Clear records. Matter-level detail. No guessing about what the numbers represent.
