Law Firm Accounting

Your books have two responsibilities.

Operating Accounting

The normal financial side of running the firm.

  • Monthly bookkeeping
  • Bank and credit-card reconciliation
  • Payroll reconciliation
  • Accounts payable / receivable
  • Month-end close
  • Financial reporting

Trust Accounting

The records supporting client funds.

  • Trust-account bookkeeping
  • Client ledger coordination
  • Trust journal review
  • Three-way reconciliation
  • Difference identification
  • Monthly reconciliation reporting

Trust Accounting

Three records.
One answer.

A bank reconciliation tells you what happened at the bank. A three-way reconciliation goes further by comparing the bank balance, trust-account records, and individual client balances so differences can be identified and addressed.

Three-way reconciliation

All three should agree.

The Trust Ready Approach

From cleanup to a consistent monthly process.

Find what’s off.

We begin by understanding where the three-way reconciliation breaks down and establishing a reliable starting point. We may coordinate with your existing bookkeeper or internal team while reviewing historical records.

  • Review bank activity
  • Review trust journal activity
  • Review client ledgers
  • Identify differences
  • Locate missing or incorrect entries
  • Document unresolved items
  • Establish a clean starting point
