Outsourced Bookkeeping for Attorneys and Legal Practices
Accurate, compliant, and organized accounting for law firms of every size.
Financial Clarity That Strengthens Your Practice
Managing a law firm means balancing demanding caseloads, client relationships, and regulatory obligations. Bookkeeping often becomes the area that creates the most stress and risk.
Law firms must track billable hours, reconcile retainers, manage client trust and IOLTA accounts, and stay compliant with strict state bar requirements. Additionally, you require accurate payroll, financial reporting, and cash flow management to maintain a smooth-running practice.
At Remote Quality Bookkeeping (RQB), we provide outsourced bookkeeping and accounting tailored specifically for attorneys and legal practices. With more than two decades of experience serving professional service firms nationwide, our team has the expertise, systems, and technology to maintain accurate, transparent, and compliant records — giving you the confidence to focus on your clients and grow your practice.
The Risks of Poor Law Firm Bookkeeping
Bookkeeping errors in a law practice can cause significant financial headaches and often result in profound ethical and legal consequences.
Trust Account Violations
Improperly managed IOLTA accounts or commingled funds can lead to disciplinary action or disbarment.
Inaccurate Retainer Tracking
If retainers aren’t reconciled correctly, you risk overbilling or underbilling clients — both of which damage trust.
Unclear Client Billing
Poor billing records make it harder to collect fees, respond to client disputes, or demonstrate compliance during audits.
Cash Flow Struggles
Without proper tracking of accounts receivable and payable, it becomes more challenging to cover payroll, overhead, and case expenses.
Regulatory Non-Compliance
Bar associations require strict documentation of client funds. Mistakes can lead to fines, penalties, or license suspension.
