01
Bookkeeping
As a law office, it is important for you to maintain documents and records. Maintaining accounting and bookkeeping records are no different. With legal bookkeeping, you will have up to date knowledge of your sales revenue and expenses. We use the latest accounting software like quickbooks and xero. It’s like having accurate accounting solutions and accounting functions. Knowing this information gives you the inputs needed to make strategic decisions. In addition, you’ll have instant access to the clients with open invoices. Regardless of whether you bill fixed, hourly, or contingent fees, you’ll have a clear understanding of who owes you – which is how proper invoicing is done. Our team provides you with the insight you need to be profitable with the right billing software just like how a bookkeeper would.
02
Tax Preparation
One of our legal accounting features is accurately filing a law firm tax return is more difficult than it sounds. With tax laws constantly changing, it’s making what was once simple filings, more complicated. Which is raising more taxpayer questions. Our team of CPAs makes sure you take full advantage of tax deductions and credits you’re entitled to. We not only file your business’ tax return but that of yourself and partners. We make it easy to file multi-state returns and other filings. We can also provide you with an annual tax strategy plan that focuses on saving you the maximum in taxes for your law office accounting.
03
CFO Services
If you are not 100% satisfied with your financial results, it’s time to consider CFO services. CFO services take your firm to the next level by digging deeper into your firm’s finances. You already know that the more billable hours, the better. But knowing that alone provides you with little to no insight into how you can improve your current operations and legal services. It’s critical to know how every area of your firm is performing, so you can make the right choices to grow. Are you growing and operating as efficiently as you could? Our CFO services will help you answer this and more.
