Specialist accountancy matching for solicitors and law firms
We work exclusively with UK solicitors, law firms, and legal practitioners. From sole practitioners managing self-assessment to multi-partner LLPs navigating complex tax structures, we understand the unique financial and regulatory challenges facing the legal sector.
Why we specialize in the legal sector
Legal practices face accounting challenges that generalist accountants simply don't encounter. SRA Accounts Rules require strict client money handling and 5-week reconciliations. Partnership and LLP structures involve complex profit allocations and Basis Period Reform implications. VAT on legal services has specific rules around disbursements and counsel fees that require specialist knowledge.
With 26.2% of SRA firm closures attributed to accounting breaches (up from 18.6% the previous year), the stakes have never been higher. You need accountants who understand not just general accounting principles, but the specific regulatory framework, tax treatment, and compliance requirements unique to solicitors and law firms.
That's why we focus exclusively on the legal sector. We match you with an accountancy firm from our partner network that works with solicitors, law firms, and legal practitioners. We understand SRA compliance, client money rules, partnership taxation, LLP structures, and the financial pressures facing legal practices in 2026.
Our approach
We believe accounting for solicitors should be clear, proactive, and focused on your specific needs. Whether you're managing SRA compliance, optimizing your partnership structure, or planning practice succession, we put you with a partner firm whose guidance is grounded in legal sector expertise.
The accountancy firms in our partner network work with sole practitioners handling self-assessment and MTD compliance, law firm partners navigating profit allocations and LLP conversions, practice managers ensuring client money compliance, and multi-partner firms planning succession and growth.
We combine deep legal sector knowledge with modern, accessible service. Fixed fees, direct access to the partner-firm accountant on your file, and clear explanations, with no jargon, no surprises, and no hidden charges.
What makes us different
100% legal sector focus.
We don't work with landlords, dentists, or general businesses. Every client is a solicitor, law firm, or legal practitioner. This focus means we understand your challenges, speak your language, and stay current with SRA regulations and legal sector tax changes.
SRA compliance expertise.
Client money rules, trust accounting, reconciliation requirements and COFA responsibilities are the core of the work, handled on a monthly rhythm rather than as a year-end scramble before the accountant's report.
Proactive tax planning.
Beyond compliance, the partner firm you are matched with advises on partnership structures, LLP conversions, profit extraction, practice valuations, and succession planning, so you can make informed decisions about your practice's financial future.
Modern, accessible service.
Fixed fees, online access, and direct communication with the specialist accountant we match you with. We're here when you need us, without the traditional barriers of old-school accounting firms.
