Revolutionize Your Firm’s Finances with Legal Accounting Software

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.

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.
