Transform Your Law Firm's Finance Back-Office 

We help Canadian law firms design, build and maintain a smooth-running finance function for financial clarity and peace of mind

Marble Surface

you've come to the right place

We understand the nuances of law firm accounting, and the complexities around accounting for client money, advanced client costs, and retainers.

 

We serve a small number of firms, and we serve them well. Our approach is high touch, high quality. Sometimes we are the entire (outsourced) finance team, and sometimes we supplement the existing team. It’s a scalable solution for small firms, as our involvement grows as you require it.

​

​We respect the courage it takes to start your own firm, and the multitude of hats you wear. Since financial management and accounting aren't covered in law school, we provide expert support in these areas to help you succeed.

our transformation services are ideal for firms that:

  • Have scaled revenues to $250-500k or more

  • Employ a team of legal and virtual assistants who handle daily tasks but need stronger financial expertise and support

  • Are dissatisfied with their current accounting provider due to a lack of legal accounting knowledge or experience

  • Have financial processes that have become inconsistent, inefficient, and error-prone as the team has grown, requiring more robust and consistent systems

  • Want to strengthen their finance function before the firm grows even more, and current issues magnify

  • Struggle with gaining visibility into the business due to its increasing size

  • ​Face more complex decisions and need accurate, up-to-date information to make informed choices

is your finance back office falling short?

As your firm grows, managing it in your head or relying on hunches becomes impractical. Professionalising the finance back office is crucial, not only for peace of mind but to provide OBJECTIVE FINANCIAL DATA  for fact-based decisions. Understanding your numbers allows for better decisions and quicker course corrections when you stray from your goals.

Optimising your finance back-office
 means creating a system that ensures continuous FINANCIAL CLARITY while meeting all other administrative and compliance requirements. 

When properly built and managed, your finance function becomes an
ASSET rather than a burden. â€‹
