Bookkeeping for Law Firms
Managing a law firm means juggling client matters, deadlines, and trust accounts — not spreadsheets. At Book Media Bookkeeping Inc., we specialize in bookkeeping designed specifically for attorneys and legal practices. Our certified bookkeepers understand how to keep your operating and trust accounts in compliance, accurate, and ready for reporting.
IOLTA & Trust Accounting Expertise
Your trust account is more than just another bank account — it’s a fiduciary responsibility. We help law firms:
Maintain compliant three-way reconciliations
Ensure IOLTA balances always match total client trust liabilities
Prevent commingling of client funds
Flag and correct categorization errors before they become compliance issues
We also show you why client deposits should never flow into your IOLTA first — and how to properly record retainers, settlements, and cost reimbursements in QuickBooks or your case-management system.
Accurate Financials You Can Rely On
We handle the day-to-day so you can focus on your cases:
Monthly bank and credit-card reconciliations
Revenue and expense tracking by case, partner, or location
Accrual or cash-basis reporting tailored to your practice
Cleanup and catch-up projects for prior years
Every report ties back to your Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss, ensuring your books actually tell the truth about your firm’s financial health.
Case Management Integration
We regularly integrate with platforms like Clio, Filevine, and more, ensuring your bookkeeping syncs seamlessly with your case data. Your in-house admin or paralegal remains our point of contact — so communication flows, nothing gets missed, and every transaction lands in the right chart-of-accounts category.
Your Certified Bookkeeping Partner
Whether you’re a solo attorney or a multi-partner firm, working with a certified bookkeeper means more than data entry — it’s strategic financial management. We help you:
Read and understand your firm’s financial statements
Forecast cash flow and plan for uneven revenue cycles
Maintain compliance without surprises at tax time
We don’t just balance books — we bring clarity and confidence to the business side of your practice.
