When it comes to the practice of law, “the
devil is in the details”. But when it comes to running a successful
law practice, “the devil is in billing, bookkeeping, and accounting”. The
billing process is complex, with many details going into even the simplest client
matter, and law firm business and trust accounting requires special handling
for everything from client payments to bank account reconciliations. Keeping
your firm’s financial workings in order is essential. You need a billing
setup that eliminates leakage, ensures good cash flow, and fosters good
client relationships. You also need accounting procedures that keep you
current, compliant, and “audit-ready”. There’s no room for error when it comes to the financial side of your practice --
because even unintended oversights can close down a law firm
or end a career. Make sure your firm’s billing, bookkeeping, and
accounting are all they need to
be.
