Texas law firm bookkeeping services

Texas law firms need the same bookkeeping fundamentals as firms anywhere — a monthly close, clean separation of trust and operating funds, per-client trust ledgers, and documented reconciliation — with trust handling that follows Texas rules specifically. Because trust accounting requirements are set at the state level and change over time, verify current requirements with the State Bar of Texas.

Who this is for

Solo and small firms in Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio and across the state; Texas attorneys whose bookkeeper has not handled trust accounts; firms comfortable with a remote provider; and practices licensed in Texas plus other states.

What the workflow needs to handle

Trust recordkeeping under current Texas requirements, state-level filings such as franchise tax reporting coordinated with a CPA, multi-state practice and payroll considerations, remote-first delivery through cloud systems, and the standard monthly close on a predictable date.
