Trust accounting a law society would recognise

Matters, client trust ledgers and three-way reconciliation, built the way provincial law societies actually require. The depth firms buy Clio for, in the same system as the firm's own books.

The basics

What Legal & Trust does for you

Trust and general, properly separated

Client money never touches firm money. Nummo enforces the separation at the ledger level rather than trusting anyone to remember which account they're in.

Three-way reconciliation

Trust bank, trust ledger control and the sum of client balances, agreed and dated. The reconciliation a law society asks to see.

Every matter, its own ledger

Retainers in, disbursements out, fees billed against the balance — per matter, per client, with a running balance you can show anyone.

Time, matters and billing together

How it works

Three steps, and only one of them is yours

Open the matter

Client, matter, and the trust account it draws on.

Work it

Time, disbursements and retainers all book against that matter.

Reconcile

Three-way reconciliation, dated and kept, ready for a spot audit.

Three quarters
of trust audit findings are record-keeping, not theft

Firms get caught out by missing reconciliations and unclear client ledgers far more often than by anything deliberate. Both are a software problem.
