Many people say they are “QuickBooks® Experts” but do they really know the ins and outs of Law Practice Accounting? Unfortunately, many times the answer is no, but by the time your realize it – You can have a real mess on your hands.
Accounting for a Law Firm is different then accounting for your general service business, where many “experts” get their experience. Attorneys need to be able to generate reports on time spent on a case for the courts, other reports for their clients or even for their own business management. And lawyers who have a trust account must also maintain records in a format that they allows them to produce reports to show the ins and outs of the trust account as well as produce client ledgers to stay in compliance with bar reguations.
QuickBooks® can be used by law firms to maintain good accounting practices and effective financial management. Many attorneys or law firms may use one program for case management, one program for time tracking, another for billing and then use another program to track expenses. When it is time to generate reports it can be chaos. By using QuickBooks® you will be able to organize all your accounting in one place. QuickBooks® allows you to setup billing rates for clients, track time, invoice clients, record expenses and reimbursements to the law firm for cost.
