Law Technology Today From the ABA Legal Technology Resource Center
The 4th Quarter is typically “crunch time” for lawyers. There are always plenty of filings to process, matters to settle, and cases to close before the end of the year. Then, in the wake of your legal work, you get a mass of bookkeeping entries and accounting adjustments that all need to be straightened out too. Organizing a full year’s worth of financials, preparing the reports and documents you’ll need to file your taxes, and coordinating with your accountant to close the books on 2018 is a lot to get done before the holidays.
In 2018 Year-End Accounting Checklist & Tips, we’ll show you how to create a step-by-step process to handle your 2018 accounting. Each attendee will receive our 2018 Year-End Legal Accounting Checklist. It keeps you focused on the process and moving on the things you must do, the things you might ask your accountant to do, and the reports you absolutely must have (like reconciliations, trust balances, etc.) Every lawyer (and their accountant) can use this tool.
