FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why specific accounting for lawyers?

Because, in addition to ordinary accounting and tax obligations, there is the conduct-driven tracking of client funds (sums held for clients), which must be traced and segregated.

Do you manage client accounts (third-party funds)?

We set up the accounting tracking and reconciliations of client funds, in line with Bar rules; the management of the accounts remains the lawyer's responsibility.

Sole practice or company?

Both are possible. The choice affects the accounts format and taxation; we help you decide.

Do you cover VAT on fees?

Yes, including the VAT specifics applicable to legal services, and the related filings.
