QuickBooks for Law Firms

Virtual assistants trained in QuickBooks who manage bookkeeping, trust accounting, and financial reporting for law firms.

QuickBooks is the most widely used accounting software among small and mid size law firms, but managing it properly requires consistent attention and an understanding of legal specific accounting requirements. Trust accounting rules, IOLTA compliance, and the need to reconcile with practice management billing systems add complexity that general bookkeepers may not understand. DocketHire provides virtual assistants trained in QuickBooks for law firms who handle your daily bookkeeping and financial operations with accuracy.

Our QuickBooks assistants manage the financial tasks that keep your firm's books clean and compliant. They categorize income and expenses, reconcile bank and credit card accounts, manage accounts payable and receivable, and ensure your chart of accounts is structured properly for a legal practice. For firms with trust accounts, they track client funds separately, reconcile trust balances, and maintain the records your state bar requires for compliance.

Accurate financial data is essential for making smart business decisions. DocketHire assistants generate profit and loss statements, cash flow reports, and budget comparisons that give you clear visibility into your firm's financial health. They reconcile QuickBooks data with your practice management billing to ensure consistency and identify discrepancies. Whether you use QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop, our staff keep your books in order so you can focus on practicing law.
