We work directly in PCLaw or CosmoLex — no need to change systems.
How we help
Law firm bookkeeping is different from any other business. Client money held in trust must be recorded, reconciled and reported exactly as the Law Society of Ontario requires — and mistakes can put your practice at risk. We provide dedicated bookkeeping for lawyers and paralegals who use PCLaw or CosmoLex, so your trust and general accounts are always accurate, up to date and ready for review.
Each month we record trust and general transactions, post billings and disbursements, and complete your trust reconciliation — comparing the bank statement, trust journal and client trust ledgers so every dollar is accounted for. We flag issues early, such as client balances that don't match or uncleared items, and keep the documentation organized for your Law Society annual report, a spot audit, or your year-end.
Whether you need ongoing monthly support, help catching up on past months, or a review of your current setup, we work inside your existing PCLaw or CosmoLex file and fit around how your firm already operates. Everything is handled with strict confidentiality.
