    How Our Law Firm Bookkeeping Process Works

    Initial Review

    We start by reviewing your existing books, accounts, accounting software, and current bookkeeping processes. This helps us understand your firm’s financial setup and identify areas that need attention.

    Cleanup & Setup

    If your books need cleanup, we organize your accounts, review outstanding transactions, and address bookkeeping issues. We also make sure your accounting setup supports your firm’s ongoing needs.

    Monthly Bookkeeping

    We handle your regular bookkeeping tasks, including transaction recording, account reconciliations, invoice tracking, and other agreed-upon accounting work.

    Financial Review

    Your books are reviewed regularly for accuracy and consistency. We look for discrepancies, missing information, and issues that may need to be addressed.

    Monthly Reporting

    You receive clear, organized financial reports that give you a better view of your firm’s income, expenses, cash flow, and overall financial position.
