Services for Law Firms

Law Firms face their own unique accounting challenges, that most attorneys never truly learn to handle and most accountants are unequipped to assist with, including:

  • Matter-based billing, whether it is on a time and expenses, flat fee or contingency basis

  • Client retainer management and replenishment

  • Advanced client costs and hard/soft cost allocations

  • Lawyer Trust account management, including separation of funds, three-way match and reconciliation

  • Partner, of counsel and associate compensation modeling

Depending on their firm, partners face their own tax-related challenges, such as multi-state composite tax returns, self-employment tax, estimated payments and foreign income reporting.

I have worked with hundreds of firms and their partners in managing their accounting and tax needs and offer services designed for your firm's specific needs:

  • Outsourced CFO Services to maximize firm profitability and cash flow

  • Controllership to ensure all billings and costs are properly captured and that you have accurate financial reports to make critical decisions

  • Development of compensation models to retain and attract top attorneys

  • Tax planning and preparation focused on the key issues that you face in your firm
