Invoices out on billing day, trust money kept clean.

We fill your finance seat with a person who knows legal books. Agents draft each matter's invoice from approved time and match every trust deposit. Your person checks each one, reconciles trust three ways, and moves fees out of trust only when a lawyer approves.

239 job postings in our pulls name both QuickBooks and Clio. 62,119 name QuickBooks. US postings, Mar 22 to Oct 3, 2026, from our own pulls. The full report

What is different about the books

A firm's books break in the same four places.

The agents do itYour person does it
What goes wrong
What the agents do
What your person does
01

Trust and IOLTA reconciliation

Client money sits in trust, and the bank, the books and the client ledgers have not been reconciled together in months.

What trust account means
Agents

Match every trust deposit and payment to the right client and matter.

Your person

Reconciles the trust account three ways every month and signs it off. Fees leave trust only when a lawyer approves.

02

Matter billing

Approved time sits in the practice system for weeks, so invoices go out late and get paid later.

Agents

Build an invoice draft for each matter from approved time, on billing day.

Your person

Checks every invoice, and takes billing questions and write-downs to the lawyer.

03

Costs advanced for clients

Filing fees and expert costs get paid for clients and never billed back.

Agents

Record each cost advanced against its matter as it is paid.

Your person

Makes sure every cost advanced lands on the client's next invoice.

04

Collections

Nobody wants to chase a client, so overdue invoices age past 90 days.

What aging report means
Agents

Send overdue reminders on the schedule and in the words you approve.

Your person

Raises the larger ones with the lawyer who owns the client.

Your person checks every line the agents do. The agents never make the judgment calls.

The roles law firms post

Which seat are you filling?

The same person and agents, sized to the job you posted. Each role page shows what that posting usually asks for and what the seat really costs.

Median posted pay from the US postings we read in full for each role. A seat costs more than its pay once you add payroll taxes and benefits. What loaded cost means

Law firms questions

Can someone outside the firm work on our trust account?

Yes, through a user you create in your own software, which you can switch off in one click. Everyone signs in with a second code on top of a password, and a confidentiality agreement is signed before any access is given. The lawyers stay responsible for the trust account, and the records your person keeps let them show it.

Do the agents ever move client money?

No. Anything that moves money waits for a person, and fees move from trust to the operating account only when a lawyer approves. The agents match lines, draft invoices and keep the ledgers current.

Do you work with Clio?

Yes. The agents connect to Clio with a login you approve. For PCLaw, MyCase or another practice system, your person logs in like any employee and the agents work on what it exports.

Who decides write-downs and discounts?

The lawyer. A write-down is a judgment about the client, so the agents never make one. Your person flags the invoices that need a decision and applies what you decide.

Is client information safe with a remote person?

Your data is encrypted when it moves and when it is stored. It is never used to train anything, never combined with another client's, and never stored on a personal laptop. Each person signs in with a second code on top of a password and works only inside your own software.
