Law Firm Bookkeeping and Trust Accounting for Attorneys & Small Practices
Are your law firm books months or years behind, with trust and operating money that no longer match?
When retainers land in income and client ledgers drift from the bank, a bar audit becomes a long week.
That is where I come in.
I'm Fatima Arshad, a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor with an MBA in Finance, keeping books for solo attorneys and small law firms in the USA, Canada and Australia.
My law firm bookkeeping services cover:
- Law firm chart of accounts
- Trust and operating fully separated
- Retainers held as client liabilities
- IOLTA three way reconciliation
- Client ledgers tied to the trust bank
- Earned fee transfers documented
- Advanced client costs tracked
- Clio, MyCase and LawPay matched
- Bank and credit card reconciliation
- P&L, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
Your trust account will tie to every client ledger to the cent, and your books stay ready for any bar review.
I also do historical law firm bookkeeping cleanup and catch up for 2025, 2024, 2023 or earlier.
Message me with your accounts and months behind, and let's get your firm's books audit ready.

FAQ
Do you do IOLTA trust accounting and three way reconciliation?
Yes. Every month I reconcile the trust bank statement, the trust account in QuickBooks and the total of all client ledgers, and deliver the three way reconciliation report your state bar expects.
How do you record client retainers in QuickBooks?
I record retainers in the trust account as a liability to each client, never as income. When you earn the fee and bill it, I record the transfer to operating against the invoice it pays.
Do you work with Clio, MyCase or LawPay?
Yes. I match Clio and MyCase invoices and payments to QuickBooks Online and split LawPay deposits between trust and operating, so your practice software and your books show the same numbers.
How do you track advanced client costs?
I record filing fees, courier and expert costs paid for a client in an advanced client costs account by client and matter, so every cost is billed back and none is lost as an expense.
Can you rebuild client ledgers for my trust account?
Yes. I go through every trust deposit and payment, rebuild the ledger for each client and matter, and list any difference so you can settle it before the next three way reconciliation.
Can you do law firm bookkeeping catch up for 2023, 2024 and 2025?
Yes, I can do law firm bookkeeping catch up and cleanup for 2025, 2024, 2023 and earlier years, with trust and operating reconciled month by month and client ledgers tied for each year.
Do you follow the trust accounting rules for my state?
I keep records to the ABA Model Rule 1.15 standard: separate trust records, a ledger per client and monthly three way reconciliation. Your state bar sets the details, and I match the records to them.
Are you a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor?
Yes, I'm a Certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor with an MBA in Finance and over 120 QuickBooks projects delivered, including immigration and solo law practices with trust accounts.
How do you keep client and matter information confidential?
You invite me as an accountant user in QuickBooks Online, so no password is shared. Client names and matters stay inside your books, and I sign an NDA whenever your firm asks for one.
Do you offer monthly law firm bookkeeping?
Yes. Every month I reconcile trust and operating, record fee transfers and client costs, and send your three way reconciliation with the P&L. Message me for a monthly rate based on your volume.
