Specialist online accounting for law firms

Running a law firm means working with clients and in court, not over spreadsheets. We take accounting for law firms off your hands - from invoices for legal services, through settling litigation representation and reimbursed court costs, to client deposits and advances. Our online accounting runs through a secure panel, so you submit documents with no visits to the office and no paper ring binders.

This is an accounting firm for lawyers, staffed by experienced accountants who understand the specifics of the legal liberal professions. We know that legal and advisory services are, as a rule, subject to 23% VAT and usually do not benefit from the subjective exemption, which is why we keep on top of correct invoicing, VAT records and deadlines. With the lump-sum tax for liberal professions, we will match the right rate to your situation.
