Frequently Asked Questions

What accounting services do law firms typically need?

Law firms need accounting services that go beyond basic bookkeeping—including trust accounting, billing and collection tracking, work-in-progress management, and partner draw reconciliation.

The right accounting team with a focus on law practices can help attorneys maintain accurate client trust records, streamline billing workflows, and deliver timely financial reporting that supports decision-making and firm growth.

What are some common tax issues that law firms and attorneys face?

Law firms face unique tax issues, including partnership allocations, multi-state filings, trust accounting considerations, and updated partnership audit rules. Addressing these tax matters early can help reduce risk, optimize partner compensation, and align tax strategy with business transitions and growth plans.

How can advisory services help a law firm improve profitability?

Advisory services for law firms can include benchmarking billing rates, analyzing partner productivity, improving matter profitability, and planning firm succession-oriented transitions. By translating financial data into strategic actions, firms can enhance cash flow, manage overhead, and position themselves for future growth.

What financial reporting requirements should law firms pay attention to?

Law firms should focus on generating monthly management reports that track key firm metrics such as realization rate, utilization, profit per partner, and accounts receivable aging. Regular reporting helps identify cash flow bottlenecks, assess operational efficiency, and make informed decisions about staffing, investments, and firm direction.

What should a law firm consider when planning a partnership transition or merger?

When planning a partnership transition or merger, a law firm must conduct due diligence on financial performance, partner draw structures, billing and AR trends, cultural fit, and regulatory issues. Proper advisory support can guide valuation, tax implications, integration of operations or systems, and succession planning to ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption.

Don’t let costly errors compromise your firm’s success.
