A complimentary 30-minute conversation about your firm, your books, and the support you need.
Law Firm Focused
Bookkeeping support built around the financial workflows, systems, and responsibilities unique to law firms.
IOLTA Experience
Experienced with trust account bookkeeping, reconciliations, and identifying discrepancies when balances don’t align.
QuickBooks & Clio

Specialized Bookkeeping Support
for Your Law Firm
Law-firm bookkeeping isn't the same as bookkeeping for every other business. Client retainers, IOLTA accounts, billing systems, operating accounts, and practice-management software all have to work together. When one piece is off, finding the cause often requires understanding how the entire system fits together.
That's where Mill Stone Bookkeeping steps in.
We maintain the books, reconcile accounts, and pay attention to the details that can signal a larger issue. You get dependable financial records and experienced support grounded in the way your firm actually operates.
Ongoing Law Firm Bookkeeping
Keep your day-to-day financial records current while you stay focused on running the practice.
Ongoing support may include transaction categorization, expense tracking, account reconciliations, financial reporting, and coordination with the systems your firm uses.
IOLTA Trust Account Bookkeeping
Trust accounts require careful attention to both the funds being held and the corresponding client liabilities.
We maintain and reconcile IOLTA accounts and help identify discrepancies when trust balances and liability records don’t align.
Bookkeeping Cleanup & Troubleshooting
If your books have fallen behind or something doesn’t look right, we can help make sense of the records.
Mill Stone can identify discrepancies, work through cleanup, investigate billing issues, improve processes, and assist with QuickBooks data migrations.
WHY MILL STONE
Trust-account precision. Law-firm knowledge. Proactive problem-solving.
Familiar with the details that make legal bookkeeping different
Firsthand familiarity with trust accounting, retainers, billing systems, financial reporting, and the details that shape a legal practice’s books means less explaining on your end.
We look beyond the transaction
Accurate entry matters, but so does recognizing when something isn’t right. We investigate discrepancies, find the underlying cause, and help address recurring process problems.
Direct access to the people doing the work
You won’t be passed through layers of account managers. Mill Stone provides direct, responsive communication with the people involved in your books.
Clear scope. Predictable pricing.
Ongoing bookkeeping uses a flat monthly rate; cleanup work uses a flat project fee. Scope and pricing follow a conversation about your firm and a review of your books.
Meet the Team Behind Your Books
Experienced oversight and attentive day-to-day support give your firm direct access to the people responsible for its bookkeeping.
