What you’ll learn:

• Law office bookkeeping fundamentals: chart of accounts, journal entries, and financial reports

• Trust accounting (IOLTA) compliance: client ledgers, deposits/disbursements, three-way reconciliations, and avoiding commingling

• Billing and payments: retainers, flat fees, hourly billing support, and applying payments correctly

• Accounts receivable/payable: invoices, vendor payments, and expense tracking

• Month-end processes: reconciliation, reporting, and documentation best practices

• Practical workflows and common pitfalls: internal controls, record retention, and error prevention

Outcome: You’ll finish able to maintain accurate law firm books, properly handle client trust funds, and support attorneys with clean, organized financial records.
