Trust & LSO Compliance

Trust accounting is the most critical aspect of running a firm. We reconcile your Mixed Trust accounts against client ledgers, ensuring you are audit-ready for the Law Society at all times.

Disbursements & WIP

We accurately track client disbursements to ensure you recover costs. We also assist in tracking Work In Progress (WIP) to give you a true picture of your firm’s unbilled revenue.

Associate & Staff Payroll

Managing staff payroll, T4s, and Associate split payments can be complex. We handle the T4/T5 preparation and ensure your corporation pays the optimal mix of salary and dividends.
