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

What Our Clients Are Saying...
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.

We needed to find an alternative solution to PCLaw, as we were moving to a cloud-based system. It appeared the employees at CosmoLex had more experience in migrating the data from PCLaw to CosmoLex.

Using a third-party platform for accounting didn’t make sense anymore…conflict check approach is good and I like the ability to handle my accounting within the case management software.
