You Need to Keep Up With Invoice And Collections

Maximise your revenue potential with Pearl Lemon Accountants. Our invoicing and collections systems ensure accurate billing and timely payments, giving your firm the financial edge it deserves.

According to the 2018 Legal Trends Report, the loss of income due to inaccurate bookkeeping, billings or failure to collect can amount to up to 15% of actual billable hours. That’s a lot of money to write off as a loss! An accounting firm can work with you to develop a system that allows you to keep track of your billable hours and ensure that your invoices reach your clients on time.

An accountant or bookkeeper can also assist you in distinguishing between your actual cash receipts and any uncollected invoices that may be reported as revenue even though you have not received the funds.

Accurate Trust Accounting is Important

Let Pearl Lemon Accountants handle your trust accounting needs with precision and compliance. Our experts ensure your firm meets all regulatory standards, protecting both your clients’ funds and your reputation. Failure to follow trust account regulations can result in serious issues with your clients and the state bar.

The right legal accounting software considers these specific rules, allowing you to collect, track, and reconcile all money entering and leaving your client trust accounts. It may offer safety to ensure that law firm operating funds are earned before being withdrawn and assist you in avoiding overdrawn accounts.

You Need to Stay Compliant

Stay ahead of compliance challenges with Pearl Lemon Accountants. Our bookkeeping services ensure your firm aligns with ethical standards, no matter the jurisdiction, so you can focus on what matters most: your clients.

For example, Rule 1.15 of the American Bar Association’s Model Rules of Professional Conduct outlines key responsibilities for lawyers in terms of holding funds in trust, keeping records, and notifying clients of the receipt of funds or property.

Violations of accounting compliance regulations, intentional or unintentional, such as mishandling client funds, can have serious consequences.
