5 Reasons Why Small Law Firms Should Avoid QuickBooks
On-Demand Webinar

Is QuickBooks Tailored to Legal Industry Needs?

Simply put, no! While widely used by small businesses, generic accounting platforms like QuickBooks may not be equipped to handle the specific needs of the legal profession. These platforms may offer a flexible solution for a broad range of small businesses, but their general-purpose approach falls short for industries with specialized needs.

Learning Objectives:

  • Review the essentials of legal accounting and what makes it different from basic business accounting
  • Understand the limitations of QuickBooks for small law firms
  • Review alternative software options that are better suited for the needs of small law firms

QuickBooks may be the ideal solution for a host of independent or small practice professionals, but it is not tailored for the operation of a law firm, potentially causing you significant issues.

There isn’t anything I don’t like. Easier timekeeping and keeps the books straight because they have to match up…we switched because it includes bookkeeping and timekeeping in one program.
