Fractional CFO & Controller Support for Law Firms

We provide financial leadership built for the realities of running a law practice — trust accounting compliance, partner distributions, matter-level profitability, and cash flow you can actually plan around. No in-house hire required.

Law Firms Run on Different Numbers Than Most Businesses

Trust accounting rules, partner compensation structures, unbilled time, and collection cycles don't fit a generic bookkeeping template. Generic accounting firms miss these nuances — and managing partners end up finding out the hard way, usually during a bar audit or a partner distribution dispute.

We built our systems specifically around how law firms actually operate:

  • Trust and operating funds reconciled and kept separate, every month

  • Partner draws and distributions tracked clearly against firm performance

  • Matter and practice-area profitability, not just firm-wide P&L

  • WIP and unbilled time factored into real cash flow forecasting

  • Realization and collection rates tracked as a leading indicator, not an afterthought
