Law firm accounting refers to the specialized accounting processes used to manage the financial activities of a law firm. It involves tracking and organizing the firm’s finances, ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, and providing accurate financial reporting to partners, managers, and stakeholders.
Law firm accounting is related to the business accounting of the practice, including trust accounting. It also incorporates financials such as income, expenses, overhead costs, etc. Trust accounting is more specific to the management of client funds that are entrusted to the firm. They can hold onto these funds for external payments, such as legal fees and settlements. Trust accounting funds must be managed separately from the office accounting to ensure compliance with local, state and national bar association compliance, including IOLTA AND IOLA programs.
Legal accounting software provides law firm owners with one place to manage their finances. CosmoLex’s accounting software for small law firms efficiently organizes and streamlines financial transactions. This increases efficiency across other law firm functions, including legal billing, legal time tracking, and trust accounting.
CosmoLex is designed for attorneys and law firms, but it has major benefits for clients, too.

CosmoLex’s automation and client management tools help firms streamline client intake, making the process fast and seamless with features like secure document sharing and e-signature.
