Legal Accounting Software FAQs

What is trust accounting software?

Legal trust accounting software can streamline trust account management, track time, calculate bills, and maintain compliance, helping firms efficiently manage daily operations. With MyCase’s add-on legal accounting solution, you can ensure that all critical trust accounting information is current, compliant, and audit-ready. This software, tailored specifically for lawyers and law firms, keeps your finances on track, allowing you to allocate less time to financial and administrative tasks and focus more on serving your clients. Stay compliant with relevant regulations and laws while saving time and energy with MyCase.

How does legal trust accounting software ensure IOLTA and trust accounting compliance?

Legal trust accounting software ensures IOLTA and trust accounting compliance by maintaining detailed and up-to-date financial records for each client and their case. MyCase prevents the commingling of funds by requiring assignments to specific clients, ensuring you cannot withdraw more than the allocated amount. Additionally, you can quickly and easily report on funds in trust. Consistent 3-way trust reconciliations—from invoice to bank statement—help confirm that you are in compliance with state bar requirements.

Will MyCase notify me when trust account balances are low?

Yes, our trust accounting software allows you to set a minimum trust balance for each client. When a balance falls below this threshold, a notification will appear on both the dashboard and the client level, alerting you to the low balance. Additionally, you can run a Case Balance Summary report at any time to view the running trust balance based on work in progress (WIP), accounts receivable (A/R), and remaining trust funds.
