Built around your business
Give your operating books a dependable monthly process.
Maintain a clear view of your firm’s operating finances with reconciled accounts and consistent expense records.
We support solo attorneys and small law firms seeking help with operating bookkeeping. This service focuses on the business accounts used to run the firm.
Client work leaves little time to review software costs, office expenses, vendor bills, and operating account activity. Maintained books give firm owners a clearer basis for reviewing overhead and discussing financial questions with their tax professional.
Explore our approachWhere bookkeeping helps
Support for everyday financial workflows.
These are areas to discuss when we define the services and information your business needs.
Firm overhead
Categorize research subscriptions, insurance, rent, and administrative costs consistently for useful period comparisons.
Billing records
Discuss how operating invoice and payment information can be shared from your billing workflow when receivables support is included.
A practical example
Connect operating receipts with firm expenses
Organize the operating income and overhead behind your firm’s client work.
A solo firm may use legal billing software for invoices while paying research subscriptions, professional insurance, and office costs from an operating account. An agreed financial export or summary can provide context for recorded receipts and outstanding operating invoices.
Reviewing that information with bank and credit card activity supports a consistent month-end close and a clearer view of overhead. Billing-system compatibility is reviewed before work begins, and trust or IOLTA records remain outside this service.
