How our services work for you
Our trust accounting services adhere to the rules and protocols required of proper trust accounting, and work effectively on behalf of you and your clients.
For starters, we keep all of your trust accounts separate. Our accounting software enables us to create sub-accounts for each client within a single bank trust account. And that, in turn, allows us to maintain separate transaction ledgers for each client, and a paper trail for every transaction. These records will stand up to audits by the Florida bar and relevant government agencies.
In accordance with regulations and trust accounting best practices, we verify your trust accounts on a scheduled basis. In addition to many other benefits, this allows any of your clients to request and receive a prompt refund of their retainer. Or to receive a complete accounting of every deposit, withdrawal, and disbursement, as required by law.
Finally, our services help support the tracking of any interest earned on your trust accounts, and its disbursement to non-profit legal service providers.
One less distraction for you
