The Hidden Costs of Using QuickBooks for Law Firms
The Hidden Costs of Using QuickBooks for Law Firms
What’s Inside?

QuickBooks might be a great resource for the average business owner, but the standard accounting software doesn’t meet the unique needs of a law firm. Instead, using QuickBooks to manage law firm accounts can create a multitude of unnecessary costs, complications, and risks.

  • No matter ledgers
  • No overdraft prevention.
  • Complex trust reporting process.
  • Lack of evergreen retainer support.
  • Too much flexibility.
  • Challenges with allocating revenue.
  • Fee distribution complications.
  • Double entry points.
  • No hard costs capabilities.
  • Poor retainer management.

Are you still using QuickBooks? Between the obvious financial cost (and the hidden costs of time and inconvenience), it’s time for a change. Upgrade to legal-specific accounting software like CosmoLex for more efficient accounting processes and compliant trust accounts.

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.
