Free 30-Minute Consultation — no commitment, real insight
Law Firms, Professionals & Notaries

Trust liabilities and operating funds, reconciled separately, every month.

Client retainers and notary trust funds held on behalf of others are a liability, not revenue, until earned or disbursed. We keep that line clear and reconcile trust accounts with regulatory-grade rigor — whether you're a law firm, a consultancy, or a BC notary practice.

We file GST/HST and PST for every client, in every industry — it's included starting with the Basic package.

Where generic bookkeeping falls short

  • Retainers or trust funds are recorded as income when received, instead of as a liability until earned or disbursed.
  • Trust ledger software and the accounting system don't sync, causing revenue recognition errors.
  • Trust account reconciliation is treated as a year-end task instead of the monthly requirement it actually is.

What we handle for you

  • Monthly three-way trust account reconciliation (bank, trust ledger, client trust listing)
  • Retainer and unearned revenue tracking for law firms & consultancies
  • Trust Administration Fee (TAF) and trust interest fund (TIF) filings prepared and remitted on schedule
  • Dedicated notary trust accounting packages — remote or 2 days/month on-site
Software & filings

Built to work with the tools you already use.

  • Trust reconciliation performed directly against your PCLaw or ESILaw (Unity) trust ledger, your QuickBooks operating books, and your monthly bank statements — three-way matched every month
  • Trust Administration Fee (TAF) and trust interest fund (TIF) filings prepared and remitted on schedule
  • Retainer and unearned revenue tracking so trust liabilities never get booked as income too early
  • Operating account bookkeeping and payroll alongside your trust reconciliation, kept fully separate
