What is the difference between a bookkeeper for attorneys and a general bookkeeper?

A bookkeeper for attorneys specializes in managing the financial operations of legal practices. They handle trust accounting, client billing, expense tracking, and financial reporting, while ensuring compliance with legal industry regulations that general bookkeepers may not be familiar with.

Why do law firms outsource their accounting department?

Outsourcing allows law firms to access specialized bookkeeping expertise without the cost of hiring an in-house accountant. It also ensures compliance with legal accounting rules, improves financial accuracy, and frees up attorneys to focus on client work instead of administrative tasks.

Where are your bookkeeping assistants from?

Our bookkeeping assistants are sourced from the Philippines and Latin America. Each candidate goes through rigorous screening, training, and assessments, and only the top 1% are accepted into our network.

How does having virtual bookkeepers save on costs?

Hiring an in-house bookkeeper requires salary, benefits, office space, and training costs. A virtual bookkeeper, on the other hand, provides the same expertise at a fraction of the cost, with flexible pricing based on your firm’s needs. You only pay for the services you require, without overhead expenses.

Do your virtual bookkeepers understand legal accounting rules?

Yes. Our bookkeepers are trained in trust accounting, IOLTA compliance, and legal-specific financial regulations. They help law firms stay compliant and avoid costly financial errors.

Is my financial legal information and data secure?

Absolutely. Reputable virtual bookkeeping companies like Bookkeeper.law use encrypted cloud-based accounting systems, secure client portals, and strict access controls to protect your firm’s financial data.
