Hey Attorneys!
​
​
Would you agree that running a law firm has become increasingly tough in recent years? As the legal industry evolves, firms must navigate a complex web of financial management, client expectations, and market pressures. The importance of sound financial practices cannot be overstated, as even minor missteps can lead to significant consequences.
I’m sure you’ve felt the pressure! On top of competition from other firms, you have to deal with managing costs and overhead so you can make a profit, not to mention dealing with cash flow problems caused by clients who are slow to pay.
​
The truth is, one of the biggest obstacles to financial success in your business is cash flow, the worst part is that many law firm owners are unknowingly burning cash in various areas, and as such are overpaying taxes or spending too much on labor. These mistakes, often overlooked in the hustle and bustle of legal practice, have the potential to undermine even the most established firms.
​
As an accounting specialist who focuses on helping attorneys and law firm owners increase profits and reduce taxes, I understand the challenges you face when running your business.
​
In fact, I've discovered that there are 7 financial mistakes that attorneys make when running their businesses. The problem I run into all the time is that most of the law firm owners I talk to don't have any idea that they have one (or more) of these business-killing problems. By proactively addressing these issues, law firms can fortify their financial foundations and ensure long-term success.
That’s why I wrote my latest e-book:
