In plain words
Law firms hold client retainers in trust. Property managers hold security deposits and owners' rent. That money is not the business's, so it can never be mixed with the operating account.
A trust account is reconciled three ways: the bank statement, the trust ledger, and each client's own balance must all agree. State rules are strict and the penalties for getting it wrong are serious.
A legal retainer
The client's trust balance is now $3,200, and all three records must say so.
In our model
Agents prepare the three-way reconciliation from your practice software. Your person reviews it and signs off.
