Specialist accountants for solicitors and law firms

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. Every accountant on our team works only 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.

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 provide practical guidance grounded in legal sector expertise.

Our solicitor accountants 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 your dedicated accountant, and clear explanations—no jargon, no surprises, no hidden charges.

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. We have a 100% pass rate on SRA Accountant's Reports. We understand client money rules, trust accounting, reconciliation requirements, and COFA responsibilities as well as you do.

Proactive tax planning. Beyond compliance, we provide strategic advice on partnership structures, LLP conversions, profit extraction, practice valuations, and succession planning. We help you make informed decisions about your practice's financial future.

Modern, accessible service. Fixed fees, online access, and direct communication with your dedicated solicitor accountant. We're here when you need us, without the traditional barriers of old-school accounting firms.
