Frequently Asked Questions:
Why should lawyers care about accounting practices?
Clear records are imperative for ethical reasons and to determine the value of the work lawyers do. Lawyers need to carefully manage their accounts, whether it's to explain themselves to the government or their clients. Giersch Group can help manage the various fees a firm may encounter whether it's court filing fees, witness fees, laboratory fees, deposition expenses or medical record expenses.
What special considerations do we take into account for law firms?
Legal accounting has special rules that are best left up to the experts. Client trust accounts (CTA), interest on lawyers' trust accounts (IOLTA), retainer fees and partner compensation all need to be carefully monitored and executed.
Can I learn how to effectively bookkeep for my law firm?
Yes. No matter what level of support you need, Giersch Group teaches the best accounting practices for law firms. We can help you choose the right cloud-based software, get it set up correctly, clean up your existing books or take over the bookkeeping entirely.
