Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a standard bookkeeper and a solicitor bookkeeper?
A solicitor bookkeeper is specially trained in the Solicitor Accounts Regulations set by the Law Society of Ireland. Unlike standard commercial bookkeepers who only manage basic business income and expenses, legal bookkeepers understand the strict legal requirement to segregate client escrow funds from office operating funds, maintain individual client ledgers, and execute precise three-way bank reconciliations.
How often should client trust accounts be reconciled?
Under best practice and regulatory guidelines, client bank accounts and individual ledger balances should be reconciled on a monthly basis—and ideally reviewed weekly in high-volume practices. Regular reconciliation ensures that any discrepancies, unpresented items, or posting errors are identified and corrected immediately.
Can you work with our existing legal practice management software?
Yes. Our bookkeepers integrate seamlessly with leading legal practice management and billing systems such as LEAP, Clio, and Quill, ensuring that time-recording, case management, and accounting software communicate without friction.
How do your bookkeepers assist with the annual Law Society accountant's report?
We maintain your books in constant audit-ready condition throughout the year. When your reporting accountant is ready to conduct their annual review, we provide organized trial balances, reconciled client ledgers, and supporting documentation, significantly reducing the time and stress involved in securing your compliance certificate.
